I I’ve always read that all C&Cs were “coastal cruisers”. The odd boat that lands in New Zealand or the Med were lucky with weather windows but I personally would not bank on traveling the world in any of them. Too light in build compared to other true offshore boats. I sailed to Bermuda to Brazil thru the Caribbean in a British built Bowman and never felt safer even in 50 mph gales. Would never do that in my 33. Great boat tho and have sailed her from Savannah to the Chesapeake and back. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone

My 35-3, a 37, Impromptu, and Rick's LF 38 have all been to Bermuda. Personally, I consider 35 the minimum for offshore, but obviously, others have different standards. Never saw winds over 30 (on the return) and never felt unsafe.
