It is a bluewater boat so yes, and in total comfort. I live in boat heaven. Boats everywhere.

We need something to transport a solar array and construction materials along with a sizable ammunition cache. It'll make a good addition to our "fleet" no doubt, but ultimately I think we're going to need something bigger like pic related.  I also made a list of equipment we're most likely going to need, there's a lot of shit to carry: thepolony1.boards.net/thread/29/equipment |

That's a powerboat. Expensive and inefficient, limited range. Sailboats are the way to go unless you have deep pocket books and like buying diesel.

I already have all that plus full on dive gear, outboards, etc. I'm not 100% complete but I'm fitting out my boat for going places. I'm lacking winches, sails and some running rigging plus other stuff but I just sank a ton of cash into my engine and such. I have the BMC 1.8 diesel, aka the London taxicab engine, it's bulletproof. Building even just a small 35'er is a lot of work, and that's the minimum boat you want for actual going out offshore for extended periods.

I'm going to make a thread about electricity and solar power, as that's where most of my knowledge lies. Last question, how many people can your boat carry? |

There is space for six people to sleep. It is pretty roomy. Ideally though only four.

Yes, but to where? The pacific garbage patch? Henderson Island is my current plan, most people agree that it should be somewhere in the Pacific. |
