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 athttp://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! *

That's a good looking boat Geoff, but here is the champion of the
north.
