High latitudes cruiser

A boat for 'high latitudes' needs to be STRONG to be able to survive the routine heavy weather that is characteristic of the high latitudes. Also, for the high Canadian Maritimes (northern Nwfld and Labrador + Nunavik, etc.) and similar areas the boat should probably have high freeboard to lessen the chance of a polar bear from easily 'hopping aboard' when you are anchored ... especially in summer when there is no ice, the bears are concentrated on the beaches/shorelines and the bears are 'hungry' and havent eaten much for several months (STRONG companionway/hatches, etc). * :-O Polar Bears??? seriously? |
