So have 60 ft sleads, The thing is your going to work your ass off to
make a long passage Bob, a real cruising vessel is set up right and
pretty much take care or herself. Unless you have a tough well tested
crew of 3 I would not want to make an ocean passage on a 35s5. And as
OZ has pointed out you have a good chance of having your rudder wiped
out late at night, which on a 35s5 looks like it might take the rudder
and sugar scoop out in one big crunch.

You better stick to LIS and her light breezes and mild chopp.

And yet the Beneteau users groups are filled with owners who use their
boats for long passages, Joe. I know a fellow who's made long passages
on a little Bristol 27 and another who does it on a dirt cheap US
yachts 30. They love it and don't feel abused by their boats.
Joe, you're sounding more and more like a panzy-ass sailor. The 35s5
has circumnavgated on a family trip.

Hey Id love to do an ocean crossing single handed on a 60 ft sled, but
why do it for 7.4 knots?
20+knots Yeah Baby...worth the effort, 7.4......... might as well row.
