Dougcole,
Woud you find your 40T safe and comfortable for 4 winter months at a time in the Bahamas?
Where do you go for shelter in a storm?
What conditions are the comfortable operating envelope for that vessel?
If a 20 knot blow kicks up while you are on a cruise far from home do you generally seek a marina for an overnight stay or anchor in sheltered water?
What conditions have you encountered that gave you a gut check in the Mainship 40T?
What are the pros and cons of that vessel for a 4-6 month a year snowbird's liveaboard?
Any mechanical or structural systems that are particularly troublesome or give you pause?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Many Thanks,
Gary
