Comfort, comfort, comfort as in "SEA-KINDNESS".
A sea-kind vessel (by design) built for offshore work is what will protect the weakest part of the cruiser: IT'S CREW !
Research the design elements that make a vessel sea-kind. Let me suggest two sources of information regarding seaworthiness:
r.e Design
SEAWORTHINESS The Forgotten Factor.
C. A. Marchaj
Tiller.
St. Michaels, MD USA.
r.e Construction, Equipment, etc.
THE SAFETY OF SMALL COMMERCIAL SAILING VESSELS-A CODE OF PRACTICE
Maritime Coastguard Agency-United Kingdom-
Developed with the collaboration of:
American Bureau of Shipping
Bureau Veritas
Lloyds Register
Det Norske Veritas, among others.
.... enjoy the hunt!
