T&T: Boat capability ratings

[Adam Trachtenberg]

People have crossed oceans in ridiculous boats, so what a boat CAN do is
open to interpretation.  Obviously in a power boat, range cab be an
absolute limitation.  As noted, ocean crossings have been done in many
Nordies, from at least the 40' on up (not sure about the smaller one).
I'm fairly certain it's also been done in at least one Krogen 42 and no
doubt in some of the bigger Krogens.  I consider these two brands among
the best production boats in terms of blue water capability.  I know
that Africats are delivered to the US on their own bottoms from South
Africa, so add them to the list.  Pretty sure that some Selene's have
crossed oceans, too.  

I think that most of the listed boats are perfectly capable of doing the
Panama Canal/Carribean in reasonable weather conditions.
