Oh I don't know about that Dave, when I bought my CS27 I met a guy who just returned from his third circumnavigation,
(in a 57' Swan no less), He told me he had run into quite a few CS27s all around the world and that it was not unusual to
make lengthy ocean passages in them. Speaking for myself I'd rather do it in the Swan.

Cheers
