Zac Efron is to go long-distance sailing

The 22-year-old actor had to learn how to handle a boat for his role in new movie `Charlie St. Cloud` and though he found it difficult, he would love to pursue it further and is now planning an epic trip with his father.

He said: "Sailing is sort of hard. You can`t just say `I`m going sailing this weekend`. There is a lot of preparation that goes into it. You need to get a boat and a crew.

"It`s not like surfing where you just grab your board and go. But, I`d love to do it in the future. I`d like to go some long-distance sailing. I think that would be really fun. Me and my dad want to do that."

Zac`s dream sailing trip would be to the islands of Hawaii - but he is unsure if he would make the return journey.

He added to TeenHollywood.com: "I don`t know where I would go but the sail to Hawaii is supposed to be really fun. It takes about ten days to get there. That would be a big commitment. You`d need a pretty devoted crew.

"That would take weeks and then we wouldn`t want to leave the island for the big sail back. But somewhere with clear blue water would be really fun to sail."
