What the model is suitable for
well suited for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
A semi-custom catamaran expressly built for long-distance cruising, with a foam core, very large tanks and documented ocean passages as far as the South Pacific. Well suited to the trade-wind route for two. Limitations are the higher weight than in the brochure, the variation between individually built boats and the thin market.
