ill think about that bit
about mass produced boats commin apart


Actually it's not really an issue unless
you plan on making long passages in
heavy offshore conditions, but I'm sure
you'll be picking your weather windows
carefully and will upgrade rigging and hardware
(if needed) for cruising.
If you opt for a shoal draft boat you will have
more anchoring options in order to wait for
accomodating conditions. Many are doing it.

We recently were talking with a Miami couple who just came back from 3 months
cruising in the Bahamas.
They went as far south as Mayaguana, their boat-
a Macgregor Venture 22 !
