Waarom zou een bootmotor geen brand wanneer het proberen te beginnen krijgen?

Hoe werkt een groot schip varen tegen de wind?
Using sail alone, providing conditions were favourable (I’m only after a rough estimate, eg, three days, a fortnight, a month etc etc). Depart Bristol arrive New York (just for reference). I’m illustrating a short story for someone and they want to know how long (roughly) such a journey should take for the sake of realim, west England to East Coast US (or vice-versa), most direct route. Thanks!
Hoeveel zou het om een boot te detailleren moeten kosten?
Hoe volg ik aangedreven zeil en commerciële schepen?
I recently met a friend who shares some sailing fantasies. He is saying you can just buy a 28′ sail boat and sail across the pacific. Is this true, i would have though you’d need a bigger boat. How small of a boat is possible and how long would it take if rushed?
I recently inherited this boat — 1937, 35 feet, with sails and a restored motor. Unfortunately, the motor is the only restored item. The rest of the boat is need of structural work in order to make her sea-worthy once again. She was once (and can become again) a beautiful vessel. I am not knowledgable about sail boats, so I would like the future owner to be someone who will give her the care and attention she needs. I am sure that she will be an ideal investment for someone, who is willing to do (or fund) the repair work. Once the work has been completed, she will surely be worth a considerable amount of money, given her age. I sell lots of items on ebay, but somehow think that is not the best venue for this kind of transaction.
