Hi,

Does anyone have a link to a list of proven off shore cruisers? Maybe
boats from the 60's to now. Lengths 25 feet and up?

Thanks,
Peter

There is no such list. Almost any boat could be considered an offshore cruiser
if fitted out properly. People have crossed the Atlantic in sub-twelve foot
boats. You are better off if you don't start out with a total crapper like a
Coronado, or similar. A friend of mine circumnavigated a couple of years ago in
an old Pacific Seacraft Orion 27. In general, the boat is usually tougher and
more seaworthy than the captain and crew.

Actually if you give us a budget you might get some suggestions.
