Why 90% of Sailboats Can't Actually Cross an Ocean

Lady K Swag!!! Right here: https://lady-k-sailing-shop.fourthwall.com/ Can 90% of sailboats really NOT cross an ocean? Are modern production sailboats like Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria and Hanse actually safe for bluewater sailing? In this episode of Lady K Sailing, we investigate the claim that most sailboats aren't capable of an ocean crossing. We compare full-keel bluewater cruising yachts with modern fin-keel production sailboats, examine the tragic Cheeki Rafiki keel failure, and look at which boats are actually crossing the Atlantic in the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers), World ARC and Bermuda One-Two. What makes a sailboat seaworthy enough to cross an ocean? From keel bolts, rudder failures and standing rigging to offshore preparation, heavy-weather sailing, marine insurance and crew experience, we separate sailing myths from real-world evidence. Do you really need an expensive, heavy-displacement bluewater yacht to sail around the world, or can an affordable production sailboat do the job? #LadyKSailing #BluewaterSailing #Sailboats #OceanCrossing #OffshoreSailing #Beneteau #Sailing Need a consult?
