Jhooley is on a distinguished road
Begginner sailor, looking for advice on purchasing boat

True sailingfool. My boat could sink in the harbor, that is true. But the probability of this trip being scary to me would increase if I was in the middle of the atlantic. People raft across the straits of Florida from Cuba. So granted, the water can get rough. But on average the seas in the straits of Florida and the north coast of Cuba are much smaller than in the Atlantic. I wont be going during hurrican season anyway.
All I am asking is what would you do if you were in my shoes. Would you sail a morgan 30, catalina 27, Luger 30 or Hunter 27 to Cuba? Do you think these boats are seaworthy?
I have lived in a cramped tent, for months at a time in a Massachusettes winter. I can handle it. I am looking forward to the adventure of it all. Thanks for the relpy though. James
