I've done all the theory and just waiting to sell my house so any sailing time would be great.

I love diving fishing and I'm a good cook hope all has worked out well for you

thanks cameron. hopefully I should be up in qld in a couple of months looking at catamarans and trying to get some experience and information on what best suits my needs for Cruising.
I was thinking 36 to 38' probably best but things keep changing, so watch this space. I give you a call when I have firm plans.

Cool mate don't rush it and if its round Brisbane be glad to check it out with you .I know a bit about electrics and what not .The Lagoon 380 I was on was a very practical boat it had 4 cabins and a really well planned out saloon.Plus was very easy to sail .I went on a mono hull the other day and I will tell you now I would be on a catamaran any day .Just the way they surf the water and the space you have i would compare a 40 ft cat to having the room of a 60ft mono . Plus if you get a nice set of twin diesels they make for great cheap motoring and you have the added safety of a extra engine if one was to fail . Do you get into diving as I have the equipment for 2 people .I was at lady Elliot last month and WOW manta rays .Heaps of fish .I even saw a cool looking mantis shrimp .any way mate hope that you find the boat of your dreams .just be patient King Neptune will lead you to a beauty
