macgregor sailboats
Can one cross the Atlantic ocean on a Macgregor 26 sailboat?
If so, what would be the best route to take so to reduce the longest continues stretch of open water? Is that the best strategy? How long will it take? Is going West to East, East to West requires different routes? When is the best time to do it? Is a boat of that type likely to sink/break from the sea forces alone or only by striking a solid object? Is it conceivable to evade developing bad weather by simply motoring/sailing away in another direction? Can one weather out a storm by lowering sails and tying down everything on deck, then taking a snooze until its over, assuming you are in the middle of the ocean and aren't likely to strike anything? What would be the most affordable sailboat that you would recommend for such a journey if this one isn't ideal? I've read somewhere that smaller boats are actually stronger than larger boats and that the larger boat mentality is propagated by the boating industry to make more money, is that true? Any other information would be appreciated.
The rig and keel design of the Mac 26 are not intended to endure the conditions in the open ocean. The boat is good at what it is designed for ... motoring and sailing in protected and inland waters. You might make major modifications to strengthen the boat ... but you would better off putting the money into a Flicka or similar boat if you want to make a crossing in a boat of that size.

the macgregor 65! what a cool boat, often you will see them named after a part of the owners anatomy, such as 'my johnson', due to their long narrow shape. i will be looking for the 70 ft version, if you say it is coming out! cool!
