Absolutely, After doing the Atlantic three times East to West (when I
delivered boats), catching the head of one Hurricane, and the tail of
another plus losing a boat off Tennerife I can say that a 45 boat (again it
depends which type make and model) would survive rough seas, Eg I would not
take a Beneteau or a Hunter through some of my experiences however would do
so with a Westerly, or a Cheoy Lee.

The goat locker and crew's quarters were amid ship.

How convenient.

Ship must have been designed by a CPO.

Sounds like a Kiwi designed it.
