Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

That's awesome :) I'll check out your channel + the boat!

Were there any big differences you found sailing across the Pacific vs the sailing you'd done previously?

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

You know if there are any data sets out there showing what fraction of particular models of boats sink crossing oceans?

It would be great to have some kind of data...

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

What exactly do you think will happen? You reckon the hull will literally snap in half when it gets wavy?

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Interesting - are there any Trinidad specific websites you can recommend or does everything tend to get listed on yachtworld etc. Or is there a bunch of good stuff there that just doesn't get listed...

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Thanks! Would still go for the same size with two people on board?

Are you referring to the beneteaus I've seen with one long kitchen area facing the seating area? I was wondering how in the hell...

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Thanks! I guess I thought the Pacific seemed a bit of a scary place to get my first boat (I heard its a bit hard to get spares/work done out there) but since it's where I wanna cruise anyway....

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Thanks, those Tiki's look amazing! The deck space, wow! I'm somewhat hesitant about the durability/longevity of self builds like that though, I guess any particular one could be build great - or not....

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Haha well If it's going to be my home a 40ftr is still going to be a lot smaller than the house I'm used to, I'm also an unusually tall/big person so I'm gonna need a decent size bed.

One other...

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Yeah I noticed that browsing Yachtworld - you know if there are any particular spots in the world where people tend to sell boats set up ready for cruising?

Re: Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

I spent a week on a boat and loved it so I'm not looking to rethink the plan, I'm looking to get some advice on old vs new boats. Crewing on other peoples boats before buying is the plan - Ideally...

Old "bluewater" cruiser VS. new Beneteau, Jeanneau etc.

Question: Am I going to die if I go cruising solo around remote/poorly charted Pacific atolls in a 2001-2008 40 foot Beneteau? Will my mast and keel fall off? Should I be looking at other boats?
