Dear All,
I am a British Expat living in Asia. Looking at either a Catamaran or Trimaran for family coastal cruising, however there is very little available locally. I am now seriously considering buying a good make from the UK and shipping to Asia. At present have considered something for a family of four with a reasonable level of accommodation, stable and seaworthy at the same time being not so large that the transportation costs would be more than the actual worth of the boat (I have been told that to ship a Multihull costs more than a Monohull due to the larger beam, although I do not have any actual figures yet). So far my possible list includes:
Smaller size: Hirondelle MK111, Telstar 26 MK11 or 8M
Larger size: Iroquois, Heavenly twin MK 11/111, Catalac 8M!
Any comments and advice very much appreciated.
Thank you
Michael
