Good point on trailerability, probably the best way to do extended
cruising on a smaller boat. The Rosborough RF246 is also very popular
for that sort of thing and should be easier to trailer:

You can get it with a Volvo diesel which should give you decent fuel
range. Cruising Newfoundland, you are definitely going to want a good
diesel cabin heater. Even in northern Maine it can get very brisk at
night by late summer.


That boat's a beaut. All my internet search for the perfect boat, I never
even heard of Rosborough... I actually like the custom wheelhouse one, the
one with room for an inflatable on top of the wheelhouse. It did occur to
me that I'd love to carry a dinghy or a lifeboat for the NY to NF voyage.
Thanks!
