My instructor in Bellingham Washington during my BB certification talked a lot about her sail to Australia and Asia. I forget the type of boat they had, but her husband assured her it was a seaworthy rig. When they did their shakedown sail to Alaska they saw a lot of pilot house sailboats.
Her thoughts were it would have been nice to take in the out doors without being subject to the elements. He assured her again they were not seaworthy enough for the journey.
She said that every where they went, there were pilot house vessels making te same trip.
So as I entertain myself by scanning the boat ads what do you think?
Seaworthy or not Seaworthy?
Other aspects of pilot house boats that should be considered? Seems like watch would be little more comfortable as well.
