Just last week some character wanted to sail a Nordica 16 to England from
the Maritimes.

That's a whole different can o'worms IMHO.

At least the Sovereign 23 is decked over (it might even have positive
flotation) and can carry supplies. It's also going to cover a lot more
ground in a day's sailing even if it's a relatively stodgy 23 footer.

The trip out to Bimini is a one-day event. You can pick the weather.
Crossing a major chunk of ocean is a take- whatever- she- throws- at-
you scenario.
