(The Best Boats Issue) |
Best boat to sail around the world on
The requirements for a boat capable of circumnavigating are fairly specific. You want a boat that is capable of dealing with whatever the world's oceans can dish up; one that is roomy enough to manage the number of people who will be on board with all their stuff; one that is capable of making quick passages but still be able to be sailed easily with a shorthanded crew. And while there are a handful of boats that fit the bill, Steve Dashew's Sundeer 64 is purpose-made for circumnavigating and it shows. In fact, the 64s have done multiple circumnavigations under different owners who undoubtedly loved the features that made the boat perfect for the job: including ketch rigs with large roached-mainsails offering more performance and easier handling than traditional mainsails.
