about to buy a 23 ???

[ScorpionGlass@xxxxxxx]

hello all -- i'm n8 (nate)

is this a good open water / ocean  sailboat ... i realize it is a bit small for blue water but what kind of waves can this boat handle ??i want to take it from the Deleware bay to Florida and across to the Dominican republic ... i am getting rid of my 22' Douglas and McLeod (which was designed for one man blue water sailing but is in really bad shape)  to buy it and really want to know if i'm doing the right thing ... 
 
thanx  n8


ps  if i do get it i say thanx for this group i will definetly be part of
