After 30000 nautical of sailing around the pacific and Australia we decided to have a power catamaran built. We wanted a more purpose built catamaran for full time cruising. loosing the mast has taken some stess out of our life. But we did need to be able to cruise long distances at a good speed with a new boat, we also wanted it to be very economical. whilst changing boats we wanted it to be better and easier for us to live our life on the sea. The boat builder has allowed us to make several changes to his original layout and that was very attractive to us.
