Pretty sure you can go anywhere but better have a passport.

Re: Prepping a Catalina 22 for the Caribbean

I think heaving to would be the best course of action. Lying to a sea anchor off the bow would be disastrous IMHO. A drogue might make sense but the boat has to be set up for it because the forces...

Re: Prepping a Catalina 22 for the Caribbean

I think the size of the cockpit is also a major problem. A wave over the stern & it'll be tough to recover.

Re: Prepping a Catalina 22 for the Caribbean

Webb Chiles, the exception that proves the rule. If you've read his book you know you'd have to be crazy to do what he did and I think he might have been at the time.

Re: Prepping a Catalina 22 for the Caribbean

RVs are a dangerous analogy. Comfort is not the issue. Staying alive is. There are plenty of small boats suitable for this kind of trip. If the OP was talking about a 20' Flicka I'd say go for it....

Re: Prepping a Catalina 22 for the Caribbean

Now I know how irritating I sound every time I correct someone who calls their decks topsides. Technically you are correct although when someone is going to the Bahamas they usually say they're...
