It may be like an alberg but be realistic, these are old boats.
Ive heard stories of people going offshore on boats smaller than 30 feet,even 20-25 feet but youll never hear from the ones that treid and never made it or the hurtbags that the coast guard had to rescue.
Im sure there are c&c models capable and built for offshore use such as the landfall models, otherwise the majority of c&c's are racer/cruisers.
I would prefer to go offshore on a boat that is engineered for that purpose and that has all the amenities to be comfortable and safe at the same time instead of trying to turn a boat into something its not to prove a point,save money or whatever other half @ssed reasons people have for pulling off such nonsense.
