Thanks MMC but this isn't a troll.

I'm still trying to decide between a Tayana Vancouver 460
and a Beneteau 473 !

The Tayana has a collision bulkhead but may be less stable
(AVS = 110 degrees) than the Beneteau (AVS = 120 degrees).

So if the probability of getting capsized by a breaking wave
is greater than the probability of a collision then it may make
more sense to get the Beneteau than the Tayana.

Unpredictable storms (during long crossings)

Others ?
