You're talking about anything from 96 to 170 hours of time on the water. Planning to sleep on a beach cat over that time span would be impractical. Only in light to moderate conditions could you possibly catch any z's while underway - and you can't plan for those conditions to happen. I wouldn't think a non-stop trip is practical on a OD racing beach cat under 20' where on-board sleep will be required.

If someone does sort it out, carrying the third person and provisions for the entire trip would be more of a time/speed penalty that pulling into the beach every 12 hours.


Ah, but the glory!

Any marathoners, Iron Man types out there? Can this be done?
