I just asked so I'd have a starting point to do some reading about pros
and cons of the designs and what features people like. Then I'll have
an idea about what people are comparing.

Anyone else have suggestions about where I could look?

I'd suggest "Desirable and Undesirable Characteristics of Offshore
Yachts" by Stephen Davis and John Rousmaniere (Ed). It was written in
the aftermath of the Fastnet disaster as a "lessons learned."

And John Vigor's "Seaworthy Offshore Sailboat."

Hi,

Does anyone have a link to a list of proven off shore cruisers? Maybe
boats from the 60's to now. Lengths 25 feet and up?

Thanks,

I know of a Cal 20 that did the Atlantic.

I suggest you put "Cruising in the Seraffyn" by Lin and Larry Parley to the
top of your reading list. Great info for small cruisers.

Scroll down the page or click the "Boats to Consider for Offshore
Cruising" page jump link.

An easier way is to follow those designers of specif-built 'blue water'
boats: Perry, Harris, Creighlock, Peterson, etc.
