Choosing a Boat
How should you choose a boat for offshore passages?
On a long route what matters is fault tolerance rather than speed: redundant systems, accessible plumbing and margin in the gear. Stability curve, shelter volume, fuel and water capacity come to the front.
Why it works this way
These criteria diverge from coastal sailing, and they should be assessed specifically during a pre-purchase survey rather than assumed from the model’s reputation.
