When purchasing a new boat, various choices must be made based on how the vessel is to be used. Plans to embark on long distance voyages which take the vessel offshore for more than an occasional overnight passage, make the parameters of design quite clear. Likewise, when planning for mostly coastal cruising with only limited passages, yet with the security of a true passagemaker, those same set of parameters will apply. One thing is certain: A true offshore passagemaker can make coastal cruising more comfortable and enjoyable, but a boat designed only for coastal cruising is inadequate for long distance voyaging.
