Re: Anyone Sailed in a Norseman Mayotte 47?

What is your impression of the 50? I can find very little info on this family of boats.

Re: Anyone Sailed in a Norseman Mayotte 47?

I am looking at a 93 Mayotte 47 and can't really find any information online. Does anyone here have first hand experience with this model?

How do they sail? How's the bridge-deck clearance? Are...

Crazy Looking Trimaran

This tri is amazing! I can't tell if it is the Serenity ship from the show Firefly, or if it is a Reaver ship from the same show. Either way, it is definitely a spaceship!

It has a trimaran dinghy...

Re: Help me compare these cats for family of 9

Is there something scary I'm missing about the Kelly 50?

Is plywood construction a problem?

I took 3 of my 7 kids on a whirlwind visit to the Annapolis Sailboat Show yesterday. We toured many boats and it was quite an experience! I have a much better feel for what could work for us and what...

We spent a week at the NC Outer Banks and took the whole family for a daysail in the Roanoke Sound. I was told that there is only one boat in the state that can sail with more than 6 passengers, but...

Re: Family of 9 Wanting to Cruise

This sounds really good to me. Our last project was a school bus motor home conversion and we'll be learning an awful lot with the adventures we have land yachting.

That leads us back to my original question.

Is a 43' really that much bigger than a 40'?

Re: 36' vs. 40' vs 43'

That very well may be. Right now I am enamored with the space (volume) and the shallow draft while I dream about the Bahamas and flat sailing.

Are there red flags I'm missing with the catamarans...

Please take this as a stab at an answer, not a know-it-all claim. You guys have given me a lot more to think about so this plan is by no means concrete. At this point, a travel trailer might be one...
