"So for those that say it can not be done.......in a coastal cruiser............"
Has anyone on this forum ever said it cannot be done?
Has anyone at all said it cannot be done?
On the contrary, I think we all know that you can circumnavigate solo on a log with a junk sail made from a bedsheet, if your luck doesn't run out. The fact that he had to spend ten days on the helm and was hallucinating that way simply proves what many of us have also said:
That extended solo cruising is dangerous because you cannot keep a legally sufficient watch, if nothing esle.
Many lighter boats have made the trip safely, it is not news anymore. Nor is it news when they don't make it--because their luck hasn't been so good. Skills help, but they won't make up for luck once you go delusional from exhaustion.
