Andrew,the Admiral 38 is a very seaworthy cat. I purchased one in
South Africa in December 2006 and sailed her back to
Florida. South African seas are exciting. We left Capetown in 30
knot winds because you don't have much choice. We had up to 20 foot swells at times and the fastest speed I recorded was 17 knots surfing down some of the huge waves. The
autopilot handled the
boat day and night for 6 weeks. I never spilt at drop of wine at dinner time, she
rode it all that smoothly. We are now on a two year
circumnavigation of the
Caribbean basin and this is one wonderful boat! You can join us and learn more about this fine
catamaran at web.mac.com/famouspotatoes2.
