What makes a boat a "high latitudes" cruiser? It's a term I've seen a
few times and I'd like to know what makes it different to a "blue water"
cruiser.

Take a look at http://www.expeditionsail.com/ to see the boat of some
wonderful people that we met in Belize. They take people on multi-month
charters to Antarctica and South Georgia. This was an amazing boat as I've
never seen anything like it before. They were just written up in Cruising
World a few months ago.

Thanks Geoff, someone else did mention this. Have you checked out the build photos? I don't know anything about boat building, but it sure looks tough - I especially like the water-tight bulkheads.
