I am one who
would normally say just go for it. But doing it in a 27, is gonna be a challenge. I would strongly recommend at the very least do some serious beefing up of all the systems. Including you own bank of knowledge. Can it be done? Sure. Can be and has been. But if you think you want to give it a try, here's a suggestion. Find you one of the numerous thunderstorms out in the gulf in July and August. One of those with 60 mph winds, 10 to 12 foot confused seas, and lots and lots of lightning. The best area for me finding these seems to be about 100 miles or so off Port St. Joe, or Appalachicola, at three AM. See how you like one of these. Then imagine two to ten times as bad, for days on end. After that make your decision about doing it in your 27.
