A SetSail visitor recently asked: What modifications did Dave make to
his Cal-25 DIRECTION to prepare it for a circumnavigation? What
thought processes were involved in his decisions? In a general sense,
what should a prudent mariner look for when modifying a stock
production boat for offshore sailing?

Thought process. I chose to modify my Cal-25, DIRECTION, because it
was the only boat I could afford."
