[quote=sailandsurf]Does anyone know if it is possible/ sane to single hand a Hobie 17 from Florida to the BVI's? I have had plenty of experience sailing larger keel boats in the ocean, but the Hobie brings up a bunch of questions I haven't encountered before.
1) How far can I expect to sail in a 12 hour period with moderate winds?
2) What the hell do I do if the wind dies 30 miles from land?
3) Can I sleep on this boat in the ocean at night? And if so, for how long?
4) Can I buy wheels that are light and portable? How do I get this thing safely on the beach at the end of each sailing day?
5) X factors?
If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it, this is pretty much all I think about. [/quote]
