Snip

The difference it that this guy is talking about taking
a MacGregor 26. Its not about the length. Smaller boats
can do it. Its about seaworthiness.


Just saw the movie "The Perfect Storm" on TV again today.
So now I'm thinking about how to build a 27-foot trailerable
sailboat with 2 forward staterooms (plus aft king-sized berth)
and a diesel/water ballast that can handle this kind of storm.

I still think it's possible to do.
