I havent had the necessity or experience to go longer than a few days off shore without stopping in somewhere.

Re: Why a Catamaran?

Get rid of the drill press?!

Re: Why a Catamaran?

For us Europeans, funny how I dont relate to that term, we have to make sure as an EU resident that we buy a VAT paid vessel for cruising in Europe. Either that or stump up best part of 30% with VAt...
