Wind Generator Spares

Questions regarding sailing across the Atlantic.?

For some time I have dreamed about sailing across the Atlantic to Spain, then around the med and back. I was wondering what to expect, what would be needed, how long the crossing would take, when it would be best to cross, where the best deptarture and arrival points would be, estimated costs, what would be needed, anchor restrictions, danger areas, etc.

My plans are to make the passage in a 43'-55' multihull setting out in 4-5 years. As far as the boat goes, what should the boat be outfitted with (i.e. reverse osmosis system, back up generator, spare main, solar/wind generator, etc.)

To open the door to a few more answers, what certifications would be recommended to have prior to my trip?

Thank you in advance.

You have a lot of questions that require experienced and expert advice I highly recommend you join a yatch & boating forum, You will get valuable advice from experienced boaters on every topic for your voyage.
You don't want it from surfers and weekend sailors.
Going out to sea on a small boat is one those to do before you die goals, something everyone should experience at least once in their life I reckon.
In reality the more ill prepared you are the more likely you are to become a lost at sea victim.
Expert advice, knowledge and training will reduce your risk to an absolute minimum. Start reading books written by modern day yatchers who have done it, learn from others experiences & mistakes.
Join a good yatch club the better ones are on the south coast for what you are planning.
Going across the Atlantic in a small boat is a serious adventure, and not to be taken in a light hearted manner get all the advice and training you can.
Your life & if accompanied by a crew WILL depend on it.
gud on yer mate like yer bottle & welcome to the club
