I would recommend John Kretschmer's book *Sailing a Serious Ocean. *It was a great read and his tactics and perspective are a lot more applicable for a 110 than Lynn and Larry's book or the Dashew's 70+ footers. I have read all three and I find Kretschmer to be less dogmatic and relevant to modern boats IMO. I also have little experience beyond 35 knots and ~15' seas offshore.
