the boat tender?

suitable for circumnavigation?

I have known several people with 365s, one of whom is now a full time
liveaboard. They seem to like the boat a lot. It is very roomy for
its size and could no doubt circumnavigate if properly equipped,
maintained and sailed. Shallow draft is mostly an asset for serious
cruising since virtually no one will plan an offshore cruise that will
be going to windward for any great distance.
