Yeah, but you don't need that big a boat to do some extended offshore
sailing. Been told that the average "cruiser" is sailing something around
45', and these are generally sailboats as opposed to motorsailers. If I had
the kind of money it would atke to purchase this thing I would buy something
about 900,000 less, and live the good life everytime I made a landfall.
Besides, the thing does not have a skeg-hung rudder, which I think is a very
good thing to have going offshore, don't you?
