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.

Justin.

After the fact I saw that someone else had published their URL. However, I
have the advantage of having spent a week or so anchored next to them and
spent time aboard Seal. They had it on a shake-down cruise to Belize. The
boat definately wasn't set up for NW Caribbean heat, but they did make some
changes based upon things they learned.

To say that it was unlike any boat that I've ever been on is an
understatement. Theyworry about things that I've never even thought about!
