Why do you think Caribbean cruising "requires days at sea"? On a trip
from Ft. Lauderdale to Trinidad there are only 4 areas that are more
than 73 nmi. Turks and Cacous to Dominican Republic 78 nmi, D.R to
Puerto Rico (Mona Passage) 76 nmi, Virgin Gorda (BVI) to St. Martin 81
nmi, and Grenada to Trinidad 73 nmi. All the rest of the Eastern
Caribbean is basically coastal cruising, 6 nmi to 30 nmi between
islands. Been there, done it.

Cheap construction. Balast/displacement ratios probably not suited to ocean
sailing. Interior layout would not be conducive to your Carib. cruise plans
which requires days at sea.
