Cruising / More Than Coastal Cruising

« on: May 17, 2015, 08:05:14 PM »

We purchased Ataraxis two years ago with the vision of learning to become coastal cruisers. Our vision has changed and we are interested in expanding our sailing adventures into the Caribbean.  We love Ataraxis and think she will perform well but we would like to hear it from others; hear it from you.

The long term plan is to sail to the Keys and then onto Isla Mujeres via Cuba.  From there, we would either sail south to Roatan, Honduras or back across to the BVI's and south to the Grenadines.  Actually, the plan is to avoid crossings more than 100 miles at a time.

Do you think the Pearson 323 is capable of more than coastal cruising?  Any comments, remarks, questions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Bob

Believe they used an older Cal 39.  I'm sure they had several for the movie.

I was intrigued with his calm approach; no doubt I would have panicked.  Of course there were a few things I would like to think I would have done differently - won't spoil it for others but would like to discuss.
