1200 miles to cross the Atlantic?

[Norman_E]

I just looked at this and saw that it claims "..... a transatlantic cruising range of 1200 miles. Just the job for wintering in Caribbean!"
Err.... Just how do you cross the Atlantic in only 1200 miles? I thought you would need more range than that even going via Iceland, (Not that I think anyone will actually cross the Atlantic in it, more likely the furthest it will get is the Med.)

Going via the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland?

I prefer this one with a range of 3000 miles :

This guy will do 11,000 nm and costs a lot less.

Well I certainly wouldn't try the Atlantic on the first one!

Nice little ship, only trouble is I can't afford to crew it.

There looks like quite a lot of room on deck for jerry cans.

My only worry is the open ocean swell and it how would affect the welfare of the pneumatic ladies who seem to be permanently attached to mattresses on the foredeck of these boats - at least that is the impression I get from looking at the brochures.

All big MoBos seem to need a bit of deck fluff in the brochure, and on the boat show sales stands. The buyers are however often too old and fat to take advantage of it!
