Don't you think I'll be ready to do the trip if I learn during this time

I will not be the judge of that. My point is that an alternative to go a long period of gaining experience, finances and preraring your own boat, you can jump on one of many possibillities of crewing across with an experienced skipper on a well prepaired boat, with a much larger budget for fitting out than what you will be able to put together.

 

I crossed the atlantic (Carebean, St Thomas, Azores, Gib) as skipper when I was 25,  scared at times, and very glad we were a full crew on a >60 feet boat. Paid job, not much, but no cost for me.

 

On the other hand, there are examples on young people crossing in 27' sail boats, and live to tell a story. Your life - your

choices :-)
