People have done all kinds of things on all kinds of boats. Marry sailed across the Atlantic on a 13 footer. ( good book: Tinkerbelle) but the back remains that while Beneteaus and Hunters etc. are fine for their design parameters, those parameters don't include serious sailing. They just aren't designed and put together as well as C&Cs. I deliver boats for a living. I will deliver C&Cs; I won't deliver Beneteaus or Hunters or boats of that ilk, it's too much trouble...and danger. Andy
