Will be one of those anti-logic computer says no things. "But i've just spent a couple of weeks isolated on a boat in the Atlantic!", "sorry sir rules are you have to now spend 10 days in a hotel with lots of people who have just got off planes."
Generally bigger means faster so less likely to get caught out by weather. Bear in mind that quite a few people doing this will be wealthy and have months at a time away from work, so probably yes most are 40+ and the trend is towards bigger.37 foot is a small boat?
I’m very much not convinced that bigger equals fast enough to avoid worst of weather in the boats we’re talking about. You need to be seriously big and fast to stand any chance of avoiding weather systems mid ocean. Your best avoidance strategy is to choose the season carefully when you make the intended passage.
time at sea is being counted towards your quarantine time when you arrive in the caribean,though you still need a pcr test.
Weather happens. You deal with it.
By what physical means could you be forced to stay in a hotel? A 24/7 rota of 3 armed guards?
That's a dismal picture.
How can 'they' make you' do that? By what practical, physical methods can someone be forced to stay in a hotel, if they refuse to?
Smaller the boat better for your soul...........what does ice cream do?
Knowing that you will be arrested, prosecuted, jailed and fined does it for most people. Of course the majority are law abiding anyway.
Increases your body fat to increase your survival time should you fall in or sink. Win win.
'Most' people maybe.
you really do not want to spend 2 weeks in a west indian jail
Luxury.
Apologies I thought we were talking about returning to blighty. Having experienced 3rd-world military custody in Africa, I would knuckle down and drink the kool-aid.
