Does anyone know the longest voyage undertaken and completed by a CD 22?

Re: 25D to Bermuda -- You are correct;

The fellow's name is Odie Lingle, and not only did he go to Bermuda, but he continued (single-handed) on to the Azores and, ultimately, to Ireland. Quite a feat, I'd say. I recently contacted him to see how he was doing, and due to some life circumstances he has given up sailing. But, he sure had a heck of a run!

That's my plan exactly. Not trying for any exploits. Just confident that a small well-found vessel can sail across. Thanks for the info. Alistair Buchanan, a Brit sailed his Hurley 20' bilge keeler across from West to East because that's the boat he had and felt confident in it.
