Quite correct. There are serious sailors here - let them give
opinions on what makes an offshore boat.


Jeff, you're little more than an ASA troll here. I'm certain that Shaun
was capable of understanding my comment about the H34. I seriously
doubt he thought I was suggesting the H34 was a top bluewater choice.
I've also brokered the boat and the one I sold is now sailing offshore
on occasion and the owners are happy. I only sailed the boat
locally...nice boat for under 30K.

And your opinion of offshore capability is based on ...?


As usual I hope everyone who reads your posts become suitably impressed
with your Catamaran.

You asked about it, I said specifically that I didn't think even that
was sufficient to pass judgment on other boats.


Since I I had my C&C in 6-8 foot seas in a 40 knot
blow, I guess I shouldn't have been having fun at the time. Come to
think of it we saw 8 foot seas and 50 knots in the little Catalina 27.
So?

What a crock of ****! You have no idea what a 6 foot sea is! And
while you might have briefly seen a strong wind in a passing squall,
handling 50 knots for a full day or more when you're offshore is just
a little different from 10 minutes when you're a mile from your slip.


The H34 is capable of going offshore, Jeff. And that's a fact. The rest
of your post is all troll, so I'm taking the tips from others here and
not responding.

Not a troll, Bob. Anyone getting advice deserves to what your
qualifications are. Why don't you tell us how you bragged all summer
3 years ago that you were planning a trip "out of sight of land" but
then never quite got around to it! How many times have you been 50
miles from your slip? Once, twice? How many times have you been out
longer than two nights? Once?



Did you see the shots of my boat sailing Monday....perfect weather
lately!
