Thanks for all the responses. �The reason I mention this boat, is because I
am looking for a trailerable boat, one that can house two to four people,
stopping at various small villages along the way, max. time would be two
weeks long.

The idea is to cruise up and down the west coast British Columbia, seeing
all the small villages that are there.

Do you guys think this boat would do the trick?


Yes. With a close eye on the weather, always erring on the side of
caution.Keep a flexible schedule and a willingness to "stay put" when
things are looking nasty, and stay out of the straits when conditions
aren't ideal. Pick up a copy of "Day by Day to Alaska" by Dale
Petersen. He has covered virtually all the coastal waters between
Seattle and Galcier Bay, Alaska in his trailerable C-Dory, ("Day by
Day"). The boat you are considering will be adequate for all but the
worst stretches on average or better days, but there are areas where
you will need to wait for much better than average conditions,
particularly in a boat of that displacement and design, to be
comfortable and safe in those waters.
