I guess it depends on which ocean anbd when.

I not sure that I would WANT to take any boat on the northern route when Tony S. did for his crossing.. I also read his complete log of the journey and he doesn't mention the fear of capsize etc, although he may have told you that in person.

Would I cross oceans in it? Absolutely. Do I want to round Cape Horn in a gale? No, but I wouldn't WANT to do that in a CSY 44 either.

I have kept up with more than one Gemini's accounts of crossing oceans safely, and they were pleased with the boat and how things went

Yes there are better choices for a circumnavigator, but that doesn't mean that you can't do what others have done and put 2000mi under the hulls in one shot either.
