You have a better boat than the advice you were given, unless your boat has suffered some specific damage. In good shape, I can't think of any boat that is both suitable for "off-shore day sails" and more seaworthy in any significant way.

New to this boat, I have been told that it is not a good choice for off-shore day sails. That it may not be a safe boat. Well here is the thing. I have been over the last year in some good puffs and this boat seams very capable of handling 30 to 35 wit the correct sails and reefed properly. She handles the chop in the Port royal Sound on the fetch as well. rolling seas off the coast of 5 to 6 she takes of the nose and still stays dry? With her deep draw and stiff build one would guess she was a capable boat? Have any of you been an a long trip in a 30MK1 if so please describe the experience. A blog would be great. Just trying to learn all I can about my new old boat. Thanks Capt, Curt -- “The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”
