 As it happens, I am now reading this guy's story (Alone Against the
 Atlantic, Gerry Spiess 1981, Control Data Publishing)
 10' long with 5'6" beam

Another good book is "Tinkerbelle", the story of Robert Manry. He was a 
newspaper editor, who in the late 50's decided to sail across the atlantic in 
a small boat.  He had an old town clinker dinghy, 12 feet long  or so, and he 
built a plywood deck and little cabin on her, and made the voyage.  It's well 
written.
