Are you looking for the best sailboat to sail around the world? Wondering what makes a good bluewater sailboat, whether you need a full keel, heavy displacement, a skeg-hung rudder, or one of those legendary offshore cruising boats everyone recommends?
Here’s the problem: you might be shopping for the completely wrong boat.
Most sailors will never circumnavigate the world, cross the Southern Ocean, round Cape Horn, or spend weeks offshore between continents. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. If your sailing dream is cruising the Bahamas, exploring the Caribbean, sailing to Mexico, spending winters aboard, or coastal cruising closer to home, you may not need an expensive bluewater battle axe at all.
In this Hot Take Tuesday, we’re talking about the difference between a true offshore passagemaker and the sailboat most people actually need. Do you really need a full-keel bluewater cruiser? Can a Catalina, Hunter, Beneteau, Jeanneau, or other production sailboat cruise the Caribbean? What makes a sailboat seaworthy? How much boat do you actually need to sail to the Bahamas? And are sailors spending tens of thousands of dollars preparing for an ocean crossing they’ll never make?
There are fantastic sailboats designed to sail around the world, and for genuine circumnavigators, those boats make perfect sense. But buying a boat for the worst conditions imaginable can make your sailing dream dramatically more expensive than it needs to be.
Maybe the best cruising sailboat isn’t the toughest boat you can afford.
Maybe it’s the boat that actually gets you out there.
