Bob... my boat carries almost all that plus an Avon 6 man Offshore Liferaft
[80lbs], 200 lbs of tools and enough food to last for a week.... as standard
gear. Throw 4 to 6 people with gear on top of that to fill out the weight.

Even at cruising weight... Overproof would kick Alien's sorry butt in any
wind on any Point!!!
