The boat I am leaning to use is a Grady White 376 Canyon. However I know some guys at Formula and their 387 with trip 450r’s is a close second.

OP, if you need an over watch or a S&R on stand by, I would be happy to be your guy. Those used to be my old stomping grounds as a S&R and Medivac pilot.

Your journey sounds amazing and I wish you the best! If it’s your dream, Do it..!

Keep us posted!

Sounds like an awesome adventure. If you are considering Diesel outboard power, I know a guy.

I’ve never heard of the OXE Marine engines. Kind of genius. Will definitely have to check them out some more.

You could always mix in a little piracy to defray costs.

we will not be participating in any piracy.

Doubt we will see another boat once we get into the thick of it. (If I decide to pursue this dream).

It all depends on the pack ice and how bad it is.

Read an article it took one boat 94 days.

Mighty adventurous undertaking you’re thinking of taking on. I admire that. Best of luck if you do sail.
