Jeanneau SO 439

[aussie_sailor]

Was wondering about one of these boats in the future
Can anyone tell me how they would go around the world and maybe (probably not) rounding Cape of Good Hope?
Does anyone have experience with them?

You have generic information about many modern boats that have circumnavigated on this thread:

Some are much less seaworthy then a Jeanneau SO439. For doing that some preparation is needed on the boat, mainly in what regards energy self reliance and sail(s) for eventual bad weather with a removable stay or with another kind of solution. Lots of spare pieces are required too.
