Is this a one time adventure or a lifestyle? Think what you can make work is very different from doing it regularly. Assuming this will be done some what regularly and you will eventually encounter storms and breakdowns, here is my list:

Steel hull
Multiple watertight compartments.
A true collision bulkhead
Twin engines with one being able to make 7 knots
Probably 60'+
Flush deck design with bulwarks in the bow
Stabilizers of some sort
6,000 mile range at designed cruising speed
