Thanks for the thoughtful input everyone. It sounds like the opinions are
right on with my thoughts as well. When he told me he was looking at buying an
Alberg I was not really concerned trusting the heavy displacement, full keel
etc would make up for experience and be way more forgiving. Espec

Re Automatic Radio Check - not sure how it works where you are, but I believe
that you only get a response from the NEAREST Seatow (or BoatUS) station. I
prefer to ask others on radio watch to help me gauge the reach of my
transmission - which hopefully is farther than the Seatow station
I think most of us have boats that are less than 40ft so don't have to carry a
bell!
While talking about sound signals, any else using their air horns on those
pesky phone calls that start "This us Rachel. There is nothing wrong with your
credit card but..."

Ok, mystery solved. I was bringing the unit up to attach it so we could see if
it was still wanting to go in circles. It rattled strangely.
I opened it up and found a piece that is supposed to be attached to a gimbal
inside had come off the pins that hold it there. We have no idea how that

Brent,
I think most C&Cs are built strong enough to make an Atlantic crossing, but I
would prefer a heavier, stiffer vessel like a Swan for such a task.
It made me ask the question: how would I prepare my present boat for such a
challenge?
Here's a short list to start:
Rehead all rod ends

Storm boards for the windows might be a good idea, but I'd check the strength
of what,s there first; our boats are pretty well engineered and it's hard to
conceive that they'd leave something that important out of the equation.
Epirb is good, and I bought one for overnight sailing in New England

I am about to do the same. Salvaged some of the hardware and will replace
uppers with 3/16 and may or may not use 1/8 for the lowers and bare stainless.
The list mentioned DEFENDER had a sale on kits, but if you can salvage the non
swaged bits, maybe you could do better by buying your SS wire f
I wonder what Joshua Slocum would make of this conversation? He managed with
very little. I've lived in St. John's and Halifax for the last 27 years and
have seen scores of small boats from 8 to 40 feet head off to Europe and other
distant ports in various states of repair and equipment. A very
You are correct that you get a response from the Seatow station that receives
your signal, which could be next door or 20 nm away (which is the case in my
area). However, the system also plays back the message that you send out, so
you can listen to your own radio and judge how well your radio i
Amongst all the other suggestions that we have implemented.. a Solent Stay was
the best investment we made to prepare for Bermuda races.
We will be crossing the Atlantic after the 2017 Marion-Bermuda

Total confidence in her build.

You want some way to communicate long distance - either ssb or
satphone, or both. You'll probably want sailmail or something similar
as well.
You'll need some batteries to run that autopilot 24/7
You'll need tankage for fuel. And for water unless you go with a
watermaker. But if you go with a
I like the "solent stay" idea.
I'd like to do the trip with some degree of comfort and a high chance for
success, or not at all. I am more interested in a disscussion on preparing the
boats we own for offshore, than arguing the merits of how the first guys did it
without GPS. Slocum and Spray
Finally got the waste fitting replaced. The OEM fitting is wider than
the fitting sold by West. My mechanic found a generic one that was
wide enough for the screws to sink into the deck.
BTW, the Perko replacement caps don't fit either.

I was getting a little jealous of one of our local car dealers captain
giving loud blasts before leaving the slip in his 90 footer, so I bought a
couple Large ship horns. It's fun once in awhile, but a little difficult to
deal with, what with a 40# Bronze horn that you have to carry up to the

Interesting to observe that most people think about adding pieces of gear.
I would put preparation under six sub topics:
- Boat integrity: how do I ensure that the boat is top shape. Think about
hull/deck joint, keel bolts, thru hulls, bulkheads, mast step, chainplates,
rig, steering...
I replace
Not sure this came through on this thread so here goes again. Please excuse me
if its a repeat.

One thing to emphasize, this can be a fairly easy trip. You can usually choose
your weather by heading south for lighter stuff or north for heavier. I'm
generalizing of course. Preparing your boat and crew for storm conditions is
imperative.
Antoine lists good starting points.
