<\/span>Is the south Pacific safe to sail?<\/span><\/h3>\nSailing the Pacific ocean near the U

<\/span>Is it safe to sail across the Pacific?<\/span><\/h3>\nFatalities are very rare. Estimates put annual Pacific crossings by small yachts between 600 and 800; it's hard to get an accurate count since multiple routes and countries are involved. For those trips, fatalities are rare while crossing.<\/p>\n
<\/span>How big of a boat do I need to cross the Pacific?<\/span><\/h3>\nHow big of a boat to cross the Pacific? You need a boat that is at least 30 ft long to cross the Pacific, but it is much wiser to choose one that is at least 40 ft long. You need a boat this big because it needs to be seaworthy, have sufficient storage, and provide enough comfort for your journey.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Can a yacht survive rough seas?<\/span><\/h3>\nYachts can survive rough seas so long as the waves are not faster than the boat itself. Some yachts are less well-designed to withstand rough seas, so it is important to know the factors that will affect this. However, most yachts will be able to manage through heavy storms and crashing waves.<\/p>\n
