Andreas - 1.2 meters on the 431 might be a bit conservative, i.e., a bit deep. This would make them deeper than mine which I know from actual measurement. My boat sits higher than design water line...

IMHO, most well equipped and maintained modern cats could be circumnavigators, assuming they had a good crew and smart routing. After all, some people even do it monohulls! :D
