Default ocean going motoryacht

Go to Yachtworld.com and run a search for some 50-foot Krogens. IMO, that
represents the minimum type of vessel that one should consider for transoceanic
crossings in a powerboat. Pricing will be evident.

When conditions are favorable or ideal, a smaller boat would suffice, but don't
count on conditions always being ideal or favorable.

One of the mfgrs just did a circumnavigation in a 40-foot trawler, and admitted
it was something of a stunt.

Yeah, yeah, you're going to hear about the guys who went from LeHavre to Nassau
on a tea crate, etc.......but just because some other fool went over Niagara
Falls in a barrel doesn't mean everybody with an empty barrel should try their
luck.
