pirate Ocean Crossing - How Small Is Too Small ?
I like many others have read Shane Actons book "Shrimpy - Around the World in an 18ft Yacht" which of course would give anyone an appetite for long distance cruising. I would sail the Oceans no problem but not in an 18ft Yacht.
I'm currently finishing off a Sailwind 27 the previous owner sailed the same model from Scotland to Florida at ease and I have total faith in it. However if you look at the list for the ARC there is not a boat under 30ft.
What in your opinion is the smallest size monohull you'd cross an ocean with?
