Why don't you contact John Neal at Mahina Expeditions?
He apparently does consulting.
With respect to his list, I'm not sure what criteria
he used but my boat is on it and I would have to think
twice before taking it offshore because of the size of
my pilothouse windows.
Thanks Gary.
I've just talked to John Neal and he said that he wouldn't
recommend either a Tayana Vancouver 460 or Catalina 470 for
offshore cruising.
He said that Tayana's quality varies a lot from boat to boat.
I'll give more details later after getting an email from him.
Interesting. I wonder what his criteria are?
