[Public-list] Offshore Preparation

[Bobby]

I rigged my Alberg 30 for offshore sailing.  Somethings I refitted that I thought were important for offshore given the age and wear of my boat included the following:
   
  -Replaced chainplates
-rerigged standing and running
  -removed plexiglass and installed lexan in all windows.
  -rebuilt forward hatch with lexan.
  Something I should do is improve the cockpit drains.  I was only pooped once but it drained really slow.  
   
  I don't think I'd go offshore in any sailboat without the following:
  -EPIRB
  -offshore liferaft
  -back up handheld VHF and GPS kept in a faraday box of some sort.
  -SSB or Satelite radio
  -good foul weather gear
  -paper charts
