A full keel, heavy displacement, 36 foot Hans Christian is a blue water sailor. It was built to do ocean cruises. Stuff happens. We have a 40 ft Yorktown which is also a blue water sailor. We were off the coast of San Diego with no wind and our engine stopped. Our radio became so staticy that you could neither hear nor speak. Luckily we keep a handheld radio and GPS aboard. We waited for enough wind to limp into port via sail. Stuff happens.
Yorktown Ocean Crusing Sailboat 1976 39 ft.
Stuff happens on the way to the mall too.
