Actualy the corvette was very well built and with full keel it is certainly capable of ocean cruising, despite the short WL.
Even though it was more of a performance boat.
However in regards to mr; cc33 remarks " he knows it all type" even if you have the best 50 foot boat in the world it doesnt mean you can do it!
Its more about the cond. of the boat and YOU...the sailor..
