How far offshore has anyone sailed the 270? Do you need to do any upgrades if you plan to sail offshore?

Half way

After that, you're getting closer to shore. I don't see why you couldn't circumnavigate in a 270, though you'd have to have the right equipment and knowledge, and everything in good condition.

I don't know a Catalina 270....

But an older Catalina 27 was sailed around the world by someone (Childress?) in his 20's.....Some modifications were done to his boat..nothing too major...... If you are determined and skilled enough you could probably sail around the world sitting in an empty oil drum and holding a poncho on a paddle over your head for a sail. But you would probably not enjoy it and no one will recommend you necessarily give it a try. ;-)......... The 270 is built fairly well with a "B" CE rating for offshore...
