How is life back in the shafts and where have you left the boat?

Stingo is in Trinidad and is for sale. I has set my sights on a catamaran. Life here? It sucks. Can't wait to get back afloat.

Catamaran

Why a catamaran ? average depth out there ?

Re: Catamaran

It's all to do with creature comforts and space. If it was a question of sailing performance, I'd stick with what I've got.

Re: Catamaran

Which goes to prove the old saying that there are two types of sailor. Those that like multihulls, and those that have never tried them!

Re: Catamaran

I've said it before so I'll apologise now for repetition...

There are only three types of boat; a cat, half a cat and a cat and a half.

For me the ideal cruising boat (catamaran) is the Cat Flotteur 41. Tough as nails (heavy aluminium : Strongall).

There is a wall known French singer "Antoine" who has been sailing around the would for the last 20 years and he has one. You can search under "Banana Split"
