We are currently cruising on a '93
Privilege 482 and loving it. Most of our
offshore sailing (up to 12 ft seas) has been downwind which is a great point of sail for a cat. Just recently we finally had a bumpy ride . . . close hulled SW
wind with choppy 3 ft swells from the SE. It's the first time we experienced the pounding & many things fell because they weren't properly stowed. (will be doing a blog post on this
passage in the next day or two). Still very happy with our
boat and wouldn't change a thing. Very sturdy for
offshore passages. Very comfortable for
living aboard.
You can view our website

boat work & issues we faced, you'll have to go back quite a few posts, but you can find the "boat improvement" category on the side of the page that will take you to the
work we've done.
