I'd rather sail CTM across the Atlantic than your Nordica which
has no positive flotation and will sink like a rock if holed by a
shipping container or other flotsam or jetsam.

If you wanted to make the trip all the way.. you'd need to take my
boat... because your coastal cruiser is unfit for offshore work. In other
words you are pinned to coastal or near coastal areas due to the fact your
vessel would not survive an ocean crossing.

Let's face it... you speak of 5 foot waves as if that was rough and point to
15 ft waves as a major encounter. That's a coastal sailor for you... with
neither the skill set nor vessel to tackle big water.
