On a boat that size 2 on at all times my be over kill, since no one is to far away in the event of an emergency.

But having more people allows for better watch schedules and lowers the chances of a miserable crossing.

With 4 people you could do 3 hours on and 9 off. Gives everyone a chance to eat, chill and sleep.
