Wow, does the propaganda in the astronomy and basic sciences world really get this bad? Poor flat earthers!

How so? Look at any flat earth map and Columbia to NZ is a very straightforward trip. I've travelled quite a bit by all means and it all pans out on a flat map. Pilots, and their equipment, do not calculate for curvature, and some common flight patterns are absolutely wonky on a globe model compared to a flat one. I will respond with examples or PM you if you're interested.
Posing the question is answering it. Your faculties to travel the earth are not in question. What is in question is what is mentioned in the challenge under the link.
A Buenaventura -> Auckland or AUKLAND to Buenaventura sailing voyage on a flat earth is different from one on a globe or even a concave earth. And since it is the most easy test you can do, all it requires is the courage to put your money where your mouth and faith is.
And you could indeed use an astrolabe to actually navigate. Just imagine. A device with a history of 2000 years used on a different longitude with such a journey over thousands of miles. And with an AIS we can track your vessel. With GPS you can counter track it. Afterwards we can compare your log, your gps log, and ais log and see what is the truth of the matter.
My prediction: You will prepare for a longer journey and end up somewhere else than where you expect to be.
So, I am looking for intrepid individuals of the FE-persuasion who would risk their asses on a perilous journey to prove their conviction and a point, and safe my soul.
I would take you up on your offer if I had the financial means. Sailing from Columbia to NZ on a flat map is basically a straight (well a curved) shot with no land mass in your way, I don't see how you'd end up anywhere you don't expect. If anyone wants to set up the financial side, I would be down to find a crew and give it a go :)
*Edit: The proof of flatness won't save your soul, Jesus will, whether the earth is flat, a donut or slice of red velvet cake :)
I have to congratulate you! That is at least half an acceptance of a challenge! And I also like EDIT. Bonus points.
I am sure there will be some good organizers in your constituency and people who can devise a control setup.
