A second year sailor crossing the Atlantic?
Be sure his will is up to date and life insurance is paid.

 Stus-List C&C 34 (taking a boat across the ocean)

I think we may want to wait for what Antoine (?) has to say (he did it
already).

But from talking to people who crossed the ocean solo (or very short
handed, e.g. two people), the biggest issue is that you have to be on the
lookout all the time, especially at night. I heard endless stories about
close encounters with big ships, where it appeared, nobody was on the
bridge. Most of them agreed that this was the biggest challenge (not
sleeping for 2 weeks). Others were simple in comparison.

Another thing, if I remember correctly, is that the rigging will take
serious beating, so you better know what is holding your mast, keel and
rudder.
