In the US you have classes like ASA 101 (which I took a couple years back), and I presume there are European equivalent classes. It was pretty comprehensive and good, although the instructor was a dick. Best way is to find an experienced friend with a boat cause all it will cost you is a few beers, though. Sailing across the open ocean is fine and people do it all the time, but I think it's kinda like the difference between driving to work and doing a cross-country road trip. There's a lot more planning and stress and legal stuff to consider. Being alone a thousand miles away from anyone and sailing through a storm is beyond my abilities, and I plan to take the higher level classes or find someone trustworthy to learn. As for living on the boat, I'd like to know more too since that's kind of a necessity for a long trip. Someone posted a blog of his on the other boat thread a while back which is informative, and there's no shortage of youtube videos on the topic, but it's nice to hear additional opinions.
