I find it interesting that the "advertised" range of a thousand miles would be insufficient for coastal cruising. Apparently not enough freeboard either. The charts I've read indicate 300 miles is far more than plenty for our plans. Sounds like quite a bit more safety factor than folks recommend in the passage making threads when ocean crossing is the goal. More than a 100% safety factor if my simple math is in the ballpark.

When I described "our dream" route, I never indicated anywhere how long "our dream" trip would take. Read my planned route in years not weeks. Of course if my investments tank before that time comes we may be traveling that route via canoe rather than a canoe stern trawler
