Seriously doubt the "faster" comment.
1,200-1,400 miles of open ocean in a pleasure craft type trawler?
Not this boy. Been there, done that.
Took a 44 ft trawler across L Erie in rather modest conditions of 3-5 ft
waves and 10 knots of wind.
Felt like bouncing around in a bottle, damn near paid homage to the great
god Ralph a couple of times, something I just haven't done yet.
That boat didn't make that 50+ mile run any faster than I could
comfortably sail it in my 30 ft boat which is about 10 hours.

There are no problems, only varying degrees of challenging opportunity.
