As someone who has made it to the S. Pacific and back with my Tayana 37,
I'd say that there's absolutely nothing wrong with the length. *\
The Catalina 30 I used to own certainly wasn't a boat that was desighed
for offshore work, but I dunno anything specific about the Catalina 38.

APRS.FI
who are unable to give a callsign for vessel). POB two french

Any
sightings please to US CoastGuard. Have done a sat search but without
