raoulj··on 42-inch yacht still hoping to become the smallest boat to cross the Atlantic
The transatlantic crossing is notorious for its erratic conditions. Sometimes one can go a whole crossing with nothing but fair conditions; other times people are less fortunate. However, winds are normally high (enabling quick passage). But with winds comes waves and the large rolling waves of the Atlantic can pose a significant challenge to smaller vessels.

The solution for this vessel was to heavily ballast the vessel. With this comes a large sacrifice of speed.

It's notable that the prototypical ocean-crossing monohull could be said to be the Volvo Open series, which are used in the Volvo Ocean Race (a triannual race around the world). The LOA (full length) of these boats is 72.6 ft.
