It's been done. I've been looking into stuff like this myself, and the impression I get is that smaller boats are generally designed only for daysailing because people don't buy small boats for sailing across oceans. If the boat designed for daysailing it will probably not be tough enough. Boat design is pretty complicated, so my own plan is to buy a small, cheap yacht of a type that someone else has sailed across oceans in.

How long does it take a sail boat to sail from Hawaii to California?
This all depends on how fast the sailboat can travel. Speed is measured in knots. 1 knot of speed is equal to 1 nautical mile per hour. The distance from San Francisco, CA to Hawaii is approximately 2400 miles. Let's say your sailboat averages 5 knots. Divide 2400 miles by 5 miles per hour, and you get 480 hours from San Francisco, CA to Hawaii. Then divide 480 by 24 hours per day, and you get 20 days. Therefore, if your sailboat traveled at 5 knots nonstop from San Francsico, CA to Hawaii, it would take you 20 days to sail there.

People have sailed around the world in smaller craft and lived to tell the tale, so I'm sure it's POSSIBLE to sail some 3000 miles in a boat about as big as my car. I suppose the answer is that anything over 6 feet is big enough, but don't be surprised if you don't make it. Really, if you have to ask then you shouldn't try it.
