Please can you check the boat over, could this boat (or something similar) across the Atlantic (United Kingdom, United States, or vice versa) as long as the crew knew what they were doing and were adequately supplied with food / drink?

Or is this kind of boat totally unsuited to cross the ocean, and if so, why?

Thank you for your help!

If someone on Yahoo says the OK, you `re going to cross the Atlantic?

Hunters are decent boat, but I would not try to sail the Atlantic in something that small.

This boat is too small and poorly equipped to cross an ocean. I was on a yacht as it crossed the Channel. If you want to cross the Atlantic you need a larger ocean-going vessel.

It is not appropriate. It would not withstand winds and giant waves meet you. Her masts snap and his body fiberglass reinforced none would be smashed to pieces. There is no room for additional equipment that you would have to take on board such a crossing. This type of boat is ideal for local waters and coastal Jollys short, but not for the deep sea.

The age of the boat you came from makes me nervous regarding the airworthiness for a crossing of the Atlantic. Salt water has a corrosive effect on all the gear not talk about cracks due to age and use. A thorough investigation yacht (like a home inspection) by a reputable firm is wise.
