Hi Brent, I've always felt offshore capabilities of various boats depended more on the skipper than the boat. Look at what Slocum took around the world. Now they are crossing ocean with rowboats.
I've always been a fan of Finnistere, the S&S 38ft centerboarder that won Newport to Bermuda race several times and also did some long cruises http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=5663 I should think a C&C 34 CB known to be tender, could still be handled in most conditions, and the shoal draft should be great for the shallows areas. Call me crazy, but I also think your 27 MkV could be trailered to Florida in 1/10th the time and sailed to the islands just fine. Pick your weather and window and go.

I'm just taking a moment to appreciate vintage C&Cs and their ability to make dreams come true. One of my crew purchased a 1984ish 34 CB near Toronto a little over a year ago, took it across the lake, through the canals to the ICW, wintered in Florida and this season successful began exploring the Bahamas. His spot is showing him just outside of Nassau and with his adventurous spirit, who knows where he'll end up next. He's sailing more or less solo choosing to tag along with someone going that way for safety. Anyone else on the list with the CB version do any offshore cruising? I'm curious on how they handle a big sea. Cheers Brent Driedger 27-5 Lake Winnipeg.
