We wanted to share some of the basic tips that we found useful when entering into the very overwhelming and confusing world of buying a second hand boat. We knew nothing about boat buying or boats in general, so did a lot of research beforehand. Some of the sources we used can be found below.
Filmed in October just after Talisman (our 28ft boat) was hauled out for some winter work.

Chasing Currents
Two clueless brits sailing a small 28ft sailboat around the world. Through our love of the ocean, adventure and exploring, we came to the idea of buying a boat to travel the world. With no experience, a modest budget, and no clue about what we were looking for, we started viewing some boats and did a lot of reading. Mostly led by our naivety, we felt like we were equipped for the challenge – so we went all in and spent our savings on a boat. We’ve saved enough money for one year's travelling and plan to make the most of this by living as frugally as possible, while still feeling free on the ocean. Most importantly, we want to make sure that our lifestyle has no negative effects on the places we visit and the people living in them. We try to live as sustainably as possible, and want to encourage other people to do the same. We hope to share not only our story, but the stories of other people we meet as well. Thanks for joining us for what we hope is going to be quite the adventure.
