My wife and I are looking into and experimental lifestyle of living in a trailer type camper and eventually buying a sailboat to live in and travel. All while attempting to finance this selling eproducts on the Internet. This is a radical change from anything we’ve done before and we need to start on the cheap. Anyone know of the cheapest campgrounds to stay in while paying by the month during the on season? Also what’s the best discount club the join from your experiences. Thanks in advance.

Sailors - do (small) sailing boats with facilities to sleep a family and cook actually exist?

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

I’m writing a book which involves a sailing trip. It would have to be a relatively small sailboat but able to sleep about 3 people. And I was wondering, does such a thing exist?

I know that speedboats often have quite large cabins, and obviously bigger cruise ships do, but can you get ‘family’ size sailing boats for trips?
If there are any particular types you could say, then I could get more details, that’d be great! (I’m not planning on writing the sailing bit with no experience, I’m going sailing this summer - but I thought I’d work out this bit ahead if I could)
Thanks Wally :) They look perfect size

Are there any cargo sailboats?

Sunday, May 10th, 2009

A friend lives on an island in Canada and wants to use the water transportation cause of his job. He already has a sailboat but its a small one, so even towing the cargo is difficult. So are there bigger sailboats with lots of space for cargo? I know there are cargo boats and ships, but he uses sails to save on fuel. It helps him a lot.
And the weight of the cargo wouldnt be more than just few tons.
