A friend of mine in Duquesa has sold his aging 57ft fly motor yacht which he lived aboard, and board a 30ft sailing cat. He had a skipper bring it from east UK to northern Spain where he joined the boat with his little dog. I think its the right decision as it is plenty big enough for him and the dog and can be sailed single handed unlike the big flybridge.

Plus I believe the total motoring fuel for the whole trip cost about 150 euro.

See on the video how it handles a 3-4m following waves in the atlantic surfing up to 18knots Great little boat. PS its 1994 cat

Simon and Harvey are great. Had the pleasure of mooring next to them for a whole week last week. Definitely making a nice Job of the Cat, with some serious engineeruing of the SS Radar Arch.

Those Catalacs were well built!

I said Hello one day...I had popped up from the dungeon and saw you on the T46 with Simon and said Hi. Unfortunately having a 7 month old, a 7 year old and a 14yr old meant very little me time. You did buzz us in Renegade Master a few times!

I was on the Beneteau 43ft Sailing Yacht (theFat Bird with the 14.6ft Beam!) Anteo of Hamble. I had a quality Passerelle.......a Scafolding Plank. Will be back for a few weekends later this year.
