First Time Sailor Tries Smart Cat S280 Open

[@RulgertGhostalker]

I would want No Bimini ....a Sit Down Tiller in an open Sit Down Cockpit/salon, with the spar so low, one needs to announce maneuvers so people know to duck down to feel safe. a stripped down version like that, would be Lighter, have More sail power, and Less drag ... for a Performance Cruiser option. make one as light, and sailing focused, as possible. ( like B&G marine electronics, are totally sail focused )

[@RulgertGhostalker]

once past an announced maneuver, the spar is off to one side or the other, and people are free to move about as they wish.....that's how sail boats should be.....an all seated open cockpit with a low spar. pack as much sail power as you can safely pack on it ...smaller outboard motors, and lighter weight priority over luxuries topside.......and with a B&G Electronics package on that model.

he can't see the sails under the roof of the cockpit! how does he steer the sail?

Looks like it would be great for west coast o Florida. Im looking for something like this if not to much draft.

Lmk if you want me to sail one from California to Oahu for you. You can video document the whole trip. Show the world 🗺 how this amazing catamaran holds up on a pacific crossing😊🤙🏾

Ben, So this would be a perfect Cat for 2 people and would be fine for Atlantic Crossing?

I am not really a fan of those boats but I really love a cat my dream is a 50 foot cat for sailing around the world there to much to place for wind to come in and not very much room space small sails but still it’s 👍
