What the model is suitable for
suitable with restrictions for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
A catamaran from South Africa with a vinylester foam sandwich construction, which the specialist press tests as a long-distance and performance catamaran. It needs some wind, pitches lightly in waves and has only two 45 hp engines in the test version. The evidence base is small at 5 sources and contains no owner reports from long-distance passages.
