I would love to see other Superboat owners do the crossing also.
Dangit if they could do it in a 21 foot bay boat how about the rest of the SB clan. I say part of the 40th celebration is to have 5 SB owners cross the Atlantic. And it's safer in bigger numbers.
When I was planning to do this, redundancy were in my thoughts: double radios, doubel GPS, double engines.
Take Sean's 30CC for instance. He's half way to getting his boat built not just for speed but also for effeciency in making the crossing. He's got double engines already. Another radio would not cost too much. One nice GPS chartplotter is all he would need.
Now you may ask about the fuel...well he's got plenty of space for a fuel bladder cell. Just look at all the space he's got upfront and the good thing is, when he's done, just remove the fuel cell. Look at the attached pic and tell me he if he doesn't have enough space for fuel?
if a 21 foot bay boat can do it, so can a 30CC with twin 250's !
When Sean gets to Europe lay it up for the winter, then the following year fly back to the 30CC and continue the voyage!
...30CC Around the World...
Sean were your ancestors Seafaring people? It's no accident that you love the ocean.
My grand parents and great grands were fishermen!

The 34 is in good hands at Ocean.
Steve has the controls in and most of the instruments.
We're waiting on the engines.
I haven't been able to go there and take pics because I hate driving the pickup...to LI
Soon I will post some pics.
Still selling her....so my SAW trip will be on-hold

Some updates on the 34. Steve has completed the install of the steering system, controls, instruments, battery switches, and automatic battery charging loaders.
Here are the instruments. The strengths of the SC gauges come into play during the night. On those long overnite passage runs, when one man is running the 34 and the other is snoozing, you want gauges that can be read accurately at a glance.
