How should I go about trying to do this? I'm still not entirely familiar with colonization, but the colonial range seems like a major barrier to attempting this.

You're probably going to have to annex and core Connaught, and then at diplo tech 7 hop to Greenland and then the Americas from there. I believe that's the standard thing to do.
Also new world trade can't reach your home node so you're either going to have to move your capital to the new world or make a main hub and collect from that node.

Colony jumping around africa and then going Aden -> Alexandria seems like the best option.
Doesn't Genoa have a claim on Tangier at the start? That ought to be a good base for colonizing.
They can get one on Tangiers but it can be a bit random. (they can get a claim on all the Mediterranean trade nodes but which you get at a moment is not in your control).
rp or abuse ?
if rp its hard you have to go trough africa or asia
if abuse wise its easy just beat the shit out of irland ^^

Unless you are going to colonize West Africa, trade from the New World doesn't flow to your capital. You will have to go take an Irish territory and move their if you want to go New World. Otherwise, I would just take out Algiers and Tunis to work your way to Timbuktu and the Ivory Coast.
Getting that 'greed' mission to conquer one of Grenada's provinces might help too, but then you will have to deal with Castille who will most likely rape you because they have cores there.

You have to move your capital to Sevilla trade node or to Bordeaux trade node if you plan to colonize the Americas. Otherwise you can't steer trade home.
That doesn't matter a whole lot considering the kind of power lockdowns you can do though. The FL + gold from the new world is crazy regardless and worth the effort.
Though I suppose you could just protectorate India and route through Aden to help out also. You don't need too much steering to clump NA trade into St. Lawrence, where if you have a colonial monopoly the trade power advantage will be gross 50% penalty or not. Your colonial will have ~80-100 power, England will have like...8, and you'll have a ton with a fleet investment. This has the added bonus of screwing everyone who would normally steer Caribbean somewhere else.
