Hi all
I'm thinking that I'd really like to do a trip to the Isle of Man (like in the screenshot), but my boat is not very big though (4.95m), which is this.
I appreciate people have circumnavigated the globe in smaller vessels but I'm curious what people think from an in general, this is/isn't suited because...
My current thinking is:
- Like any trip, it's weather dependent. If it's bad, don't go. If the forecast is calm (how calm?) then go for it.
- Obviously be prepared: VHF, PLB, know how to use them.
Would you do it? Have you done it? What's the minimum you'd do the trip in?
