Long Distance Cruising in a 29 footer

[shevrin]

We own a 1974, 29 foot Ericson sloop. We are new to sailing and we are looking at Catalina as our first big trip.
But I have big dreams, and ideas. Can you sail a 29 foot sloop to Hawaii? If so how do I start the preparation?

Good thread, in general, and an Ericson 29 link in reply #9.

Another great thread, albeit about the E-27, a similar design.
