Anyone know of a 322 that circumnavigated? (or at least crossed an ocean)

Related question: How about taking a 322 across the Stream from Florida to the Bahamas?

On the right day, you can cross on a jetski... 60 miles to Bimini from Boca Raton. Couple hours. In 32 ft sailboat, no problem. You would have to pick a bad day to have problems doing it. There are bad days in the stream, but there are more good ones.

I still would not cross the Atlantic in a 32 ft O'day.

[The Tanqueray]

I've owned Tanqueray for a couple of years now and find her to be a much better built boat than I expected. She is now based in Freeport, Bahamas. Two weeks ago, we sailed from Freeport to Sandy Point, Abaco (75 miles) in brisk seas and winds.
I think the main issue for extended ocean use is the way the bulkheads are installed with self-tapping screws into the inner liner. I removed them all and dipped in 4200 and put them back in. I may (where possible) thru-bolt.
I made an engine access panel in the head identical to the one in the aft cabin. I also removed the original stove, disassembled it (easy) and removed the oven section and hung a microwave where the oven was.
