Default Is Catalina 470 a decent offshore boat ?

This is another boat I've been looking at.

LOA = 46'6"
Beam = 14'
Displacement = 26,750 lbs (wing keel)
AVS = 126 degrees

The numbers are similar to those for the Beneteau 473
(AVS = 120 degrees) but this Catalina also has a collision
bulkhead.

I've also put the GZ curve for this boat on my website at
http://tayana46.tripod.com/safety.htm

Would you rather go offshore in this boat or in a Tayana
Vancouver 460 ?

Tayana, but it would depend on many specifics. I answer for myself and
in the general.
