My wife and and I + 2 kids ( 7 & 9 ) 1 dog ( 40lbs ) are really thinking about buying a trawler 40'-55' and living on it full time. We know it will be very different from land and are excited for the adventure collectively. We have a fixed income around 35k a year.
My concerns are of course large unexpected repairs ( engine replacement) and socializing with other family boaters we expect to travel as we can but fuel will be limited. Is there such a thing as a single sail for a trawler to travel between monthly accounting for fuel?
My wife is more worried about the what ifs than I am. I'm a handy person and generally repair my own house and vehicles.
