I trailered our CP27 out from Colorado and made the trip over, bear in mind any
advice from me is based on one trip.
The trip up from SD would be mostly uphill,
wind and wave from the north. If you have the time harbor hop north to say
Newport then it's a nice broad reach over. You can
anchor in Dana and
Newport. Both places are fun to check out. Wait for
weather in your favor, we found the San Pedro channel to set up in a short chop with downhill
wind. The
boat can, in decent shape, most certainly make the trip, I think that's what it was named for.
Avalon is fun, for a couple days, two harbors is better, in my opinion.
