I agree with you 100%. There are many boats that can cross oceans. In the end it's more about the skipper. I think the ones who have a long list of requirements that they could never meet are the ones that are never going to skipper any boat across an ocean. Then there's Richard on Dauntless - a Krogen 42.

I know that my boat can cross oceans. If I don't end up crossing one then it'll be all about me and not the boat.
