I crewed it across Carib. This vid makes it look A LOT nicer than it was. 🙄

As with most things there are “pro” and “con” arguments for side vs deck hatches, these medium size opening side hatches do a decent job of ventilation, and while not as effective as deck hatches I have seen people fit scoops to further increase airflow into the boat . The other pros are it reduces the obstacles on deck, as well as the chance of the dreaded deck hatch leak, and when you get caught in a downpour having left your hatches open having side hatches means your bed won’t get wet, For security the narrower side hatches are an obvious winner. Yes you lose some natural light but adding extra lighting if needed would fix this. Deck hatches do generally feed the breeze centrally but an extra fan would also help if needed. Having been on this boat a few times it’s not short on breeze passing through the cabin.

Exactly, it takes away from why we are here, for the boats, not super loud elevator music.

Looked like it showed 15 wind speed, 9-10 boat speed.

The owner decided to keep the boat, although if you are interested email me [email protected] and it is possible the owner would sell if the offer was right.

@@grenadacatamarans ah ok thanks for the information.

Its normal for manufacturer to give a maximum expected performance figure, whether that be a stereo max wattage or a car or boat max speed. A typical sailing cat might motor at 8-11kts WOT(wide open throttle), giving a cruising speed using 1/2 -2/3 throttle of maybe 5-7kts, when someone says a sailing catamaran will do 20kts you can be sure that people will want to see it go 20kts so here it is,...but using the same 1/2-2/3 throttle you could reason than the boat capable of reaching 20kts max speed would motor comfortably at 10-14kts all day long, which is the case with Phoenix, but if you need 20kts in an emergency or to make it to the bar before happy hour ends then you can.

Propane gas is still very popular, probably 9 out of 10 boats are still using gas, although induction hobs are gaining popularity especially on the larger boats and boats that are upgrading to lithium batteries.

Yes Cornelius Vanderbilt I said to a guest on his yacht regarding maintenance “if you have to ask you can’t afford it”

@@annsheridan12 well thats a useless comment. For anyone interest they’re around 300-350k (2012) so I probably could afford it Ann. Cheers

Hello Neil, $219K USD

It’s in the title.

😧😩

Hello, no sorry I am not familier with those names.

Hello Dan, Whiskers is listed at US$196k. Email me at [email protected] if you would like more information.

It sure is!

See the comment above. Wet heads are in the forward heads. Not my idea of luxury.

The term is called the starboard side!!!!

Hi Andrew, The Tobago sale should close in the next week or two, everyone who has been on the boat comments on the excellent build quality, the cedar plank construction is a work of art and and the excellent fiberglass work over the wood has kept the core of this boat in great shape. Great work Andrew.

Hi, This boat is now sold, but send me an email to [email protected] and I can send you some other options.

Yes that would have been nice, unfortunately going at speed on a boat and getting useable audio is not easy, the wind noise through my iphone mic when out on the water typically makes the audio unusable, I do use an external mic and windsock sometimes but it eliminates most of the background noise and my gimbal doesn't like the extra weight. I think you will just have to come to Grenada and hear it for yourself while sitting back and drinking a cocktail of your choice while we discuss which of the Grenadine islands to sail too.
