As to the McGregor video, I would question his ethical integrrity in suggesting that these boats are suitable for those conditions, even with the disclaimers. I'm sure you could find a Catalina 27 that has gone accross the atlantic but I would suggest that it would be irresponsible to use it for marketing it as a bluewater boat.
