You seem to be missing the point, as usual JG. Which is that the most
logical reason to go sailing is that you have fun doing it. - And if
you aren't going to take your boat on an extended crossing, then buying
a boat that COULD sail the Atlantic so that you can impress your
neighbors and brag on the newsgroup about how seaworthy your boat is
really isn't all that rational. - It's more important that you sail a
boat that's fun to sail. - Like my Mac M.
