I am liable to give him another one if he considers sailing a boat before he gets the OK to do so Doc!
The reason he is still in hospital is because he discharged himself too soon.... so Mups and I are keeping our eyes on him.

Unlike the others I think if you can make it to the Virgin Islands then go for it
that is exactly how they(boats)are described.

I owned a Fairline Targa 40' pre divorce and it was horrendous on fuel...200l of diesel per hour at 25knots.

Then berthing fees, annual lift-outs to clean its bum, servicing etc. can run into £15-£20k per year with ease.

If I were to cruise The Med the boat in the OP would be ideal with a bit of tweeking.

For the Atlantic crossing to BVI's and beyond I'd have something like this...much slower, wind dependent and much cheaper to run.
