What catamaran should I buy?

[capnsensible]

A friend of mine, who I prepped for his Yachtmaster exam used to skipper this. He invited me on a trip as watch leader from Antigua to Barcelona. Awesome is a good word. ??

Lagoon- N E V E R

Outremers are beautiful and fast, especially compared to the double-decker floating holiday apartments which are so popular.

Outremers are beautiful and fast, especially compared to the double-decker floating holiday apartments which are so popular.

for sure ,,, from the early ones right up to the more modern ( eg LAV ) ones ,, and really there are many good looking multis with good performance available as opposed to some of the horrible mass produced things .

 

[cherod]

eg., there is a cat available in ( i think ) Holland just now called Big Twin , been for sale wee while now , asking 135 E , lovely boat .
Outremer 40 , S england ,, asking 99 £k ,
( tho prob not suit the Lagoon types )

Here’s another bit of evidence why Lagoons are not well made. From my boy:

 

[geem]

A friend based in St Bart's had a new Lagoon 62. He said it was a piece of junk. He had problems with the curved front windows popping out! Numerous other issues. The funniest one being the headline panels in the saloon. They are held on with Velcro. In a bumpy sail, they fell down. All different shapes. Was like some game working out where they came from. He has since sold it and bought a large monohull

They were mistaken!

Trimaran? Neel 47

 

[capnsensible]

How about fp eluthera 50.

 

[capnsensible]

Or this....unusual one.

 

[capnsensible]

Saw this earlier in the year, San Carles Spain.

 

[Yngmar]

I'd look at Knysna as well. No idea about quality, but suspect it's good. Might be too pricey though.

That is a very unusual powercat for sure - do you have any more info or photos of her please?

And I love the 'Mango Elephant'!
Looks like she is another Wharram that has been changed a bit.

 

[capnsensible]

Mornin. That unusual boat actually has a mast and sails. Don't think I'd want to go far on it!

Popped into Puerto Calero yesterday afternoon and saw it. That's all I know really. Brave owner!

I reckon Mango Elephant is up there with best boat names ever. ?

Ah yes, I just looked at it more closely, and I can see the rig now. I hope they do not decide to set off across the Atlantic with it.

Absolutely!

We came across a catamaran in Isla Mujeres Mexico called Famous Potatoes, when I asked why they told me they were from Idaho and all the state number plates had this slogan[/QUOTE]
