: Does anyone have an opinion as to the the minimun length for an open water,

: Thanks,

The first solo sail around the world including the Horn by Joshua Slocum was in a 35 ft boat he built. Also the record for the smallest sailboat crossing the Alantic from America to England was in a boat less then 10 feet long.
