    Some significant time spent in the gym - that would be too tiring for me. Also I'm not particularly experienced so others might disagree but sailing on your own is probably not a good idea for safety reasons. Although the day skipper will touch on these you should probably do a navigation course and a radio course.

    OP If I were you I'd join a sailing club rather than going it alone.

    If your'e planning on doing single-handed cruising then you should consider the RYA Yachtmaster offshore cert as well. :)
