Small Craft Sailing Across the Atlantic
"Shelman" wrote in message ... I would like to sail my Nordica 16 across the Atlantic from Canada to Europe. I have a GPS...can you think of anything else I will need (aside from the obvious food and clothing). Yeah, a competency exam. You can do the math easily enough, nm distance divided by boat speed. http://pollux.nss.nima.mil/pubs/pubs...ptid=5&rid=189 John Cairns How long do you think it will take me? (So I will know how much food to bring.) Thanks Shel |

The boat will easily make it.... the occupant won't.

Even then it would be risky business. Have you ever sailed the Nordica 16 in 30 m/s ? If not, you should try it before you leave. Start gradualy: 15 m/s then 18, 23 and 25 if you think it is safe.
