Wanted Catamarn for blue water sailing

Hi we would like to buy Catamaran of around 40' capable of sailing to far off places . We are currently looking for a Catana 41 or Lagoon 41 but would consider others of similar ilk.

Check out the Privilege 37, 39, 42. They are in your size range, robust, and could probably take you where you want to go.

What's your budget? As if that ever really matters. Big difference between the 2 cats you are referring too. Lagoon Vs. Cantana

Hi Redbreast,

We will be selling our 1999 Robertson and Caine Leopard 38 in the next few months.

May be too small for your liking, but it has been perfect for our FL to Carib cruise.

New Genset and A/C. Let me know if you'd like some more details.

David

In that case, you might want to consider a used Manta 42, depending on how many crew you plan to have.

There is a St Francis 43 for sale in Chicago. If I was ready to go, I would give it a hard look. Even has 2 bathtubs!

One would be plenty.
I think the head room on the St Francis is too low for me if I remember.

And.

I am not quite "ready to go".........dang it!
