Meet Nicolas, a 28 year old from Germany who completed a Transatlantic circuit on a tiny 18ft boat named quarter life crisis. Being inspired by a book and without any sailing experience or doubts holding him back he went looking for a small boat that fitted his budget. He found a Hurley 18 from 1970 for 3000 euro’s and bought it. After fitting it out for longer trips he drove it to Greece on a trailer and learned how to sail it with a friend. After sailing across the whole Mediterranean towards Gibraltar he felt ready to cross the Atlantic. Sailing all the way to Antigua from Lanzarote took him 30 days. And after some sailing in the carribean and some time back in Europe to work. He fixed up the boat again and prepared it for the upwind journey back towards Europe. As this adventure has come to an end Nico is working on his new adventure. Non stop around the world on a Class40 boat. I really wanted to share this story with you so I got an online interview with Nico accompanied with a lot of amazing footage of this journey and a boattour of his Hurley. Enjoy this crazy adventure of Nico and be inspired to have huge adventures on a small budget.
