I know my C36 will do Mexico with no problems, but I am leaning towards trading up to a more "Bluewater" capable boat for the SP trip. So I will be reading the information offered around here and asking questions.

Gooday Bill -
Good to see you've chosen to join us.
As an older long-time yachting person - I'm interested in your assessment of "trading up" to a more suitable yacht. What are you leaning towards
All the time remembering that it's not the size (of the dog - in the fight) that counts - when the ultimate challenge - is in your face. It's often the ability of those on board to 'allow' the yacht to perform to its best without the added handicap of 'the nut at the helm' - or so a very wise older experienced yachting person told me about 40 years ago - & I've found - so far - he got all that correct.
Wishing you many grand adventures, fair winds, sunny skies & cold 'sundowners' at the end of each successful day of sailing fun. Ciao, from down-under james (an ex-pat Canuck)
