Hi, I'm one of those neophytes looking into learning how to sail, and eventually purchasing a boat(15 or 20 years, hence). I've seen those threads that question which boat is necessary for blue water cruising. I'm on Lake Ontario and I reckon if I were to pick up a yacht from this area, it is suited for a day cruise around the lake, rather than a five week passage to Europe. When I get onto the Yachtworld used boats site, I'm unable to determine whether the boat I'm reading the specs for is suited for the blue-water cruising(which would be my ultimate goal). Could someone point out to me the features or specs which will help to distinguish a blue water boat from something that stays close to home? I'm well aware that I've a lot of learning to do before considering any transoceanic ventures. Its early days yet... Cheers, John |
