Read "Tinkerbelle" by Robert Manry. This is the story of a 14' boat
Are you sure the Nordica 16 is sixteen feet, not 16 metres?

These are 16 foot boats. There are a couple of them in my Marina and they
were built not to far from here in the town of Exeter.

If this guy is serious, I would suggest he use a different boat than this
one. They are just not strong enough for the voyage unless it would be
completely rebuilt and use new hardware and rigging. The Nordica 16 is a
great small boat for lake sailing not for crossing the North Atlantic.
