The Shoalsailer is designed, engineered and built to be the ultimate coastal cruising boat, and is not intended for a global circumnavigation. The size of the Shoalsailer’s open cockpit alone precludes undertaking an transoceanic passage prudently. The Shoalsailer is more than ready for passages like crossing the Gulf Stream from Florida to the Bahamas, but a Shannon 39 would be a better choice for a Transatlantic passage.
