Unless you are a pretty serious sailor you'll struggle with crossing the Atlantic or Pacific though.

It's possible to crew for others. When we sailed across the Atlantic ten years ago (on a sail training ship), one of the people on board was for the first time on a sailboat.

That's great! What an experience for them. Quite impractical for most, though, I assume. How long did it take you?

The actual Atlantic crossing was 14 days

That's quite a bit shorter than I expected actually! But, sadly still not really approachable for most people.
