The boats are very durable and more safe in what regards to collisions with containers and that kind of stuff.<br /><br />Regarding stability I would say that the 22 is a coastal boat but that the 29 should not have any problem Paulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910018730823789405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-44797752516231841722018-12-05T09:55:27.914+00:002018-12-05T09:55:27.914+00:00Boy, the Revolution 29 seems like the most intrigu...Boy, the Revolution 29 seems like the most intriguing of the bunch. Do you know much about aluminum construction? Durability, issues, safety. <br /><br />And I couldn't find any info about it, ie. specs, even the builder website! Do you have anything?

I only commented about the Neel 51 because, even considering that that boat is sailed inefficiently, they are making a very slowly transat with many much smaller boats and not even fast ones, going faster. The XC 38 is a good example.Paulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910018730823789405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-30376575619947636902018-12-04T15:52:08.147+00:002018-12-04T15:52:08.147+00:00It is not a Race. and even if you have a fast boa...It is not a Race. and even if you have a fast boat, it does not have to be sailed fast, Crossing the Atlantic can be done is a comfort speed also, it dont have to be a race, Go in style and comfort.Geir Ove Bøhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03508923890459380498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-14974001787195935202018-12-04T12:15:29.563+00:002018-12-04T12:15:29.563+00:00Both times I did the ARC there were a wide array o...Both times I did the ARC there were a wide array of boats. Many of them were sailed very, very poorly. One example was a brand new catamaran that did the whole crossing on a run with just a main and jib.
