It was a six-week-long summer cruise out of Crosshaven in Ireland to La Rochelle stopping in Brittany on the way back. Corribees are certainly *built* for it, however, having a boat that is prepared for it is an entirely different thing :-). In my limited experience, the sailor will often "give -up" long before the boat will - I think this is particularly true of the little Corribee. Enjoy!
