Hello Ikigai,
I would call or
Email Multihull Solutions, they have a Frenchman on Staff from F.P. because they are the biggest sellers of F.P. in the Southern Hemisphere.. They should be able to answer you. For me, the only Saba 50 in
Australia, was the only choice as time is a real issue for us. A year to get one built, shipped to
Australia, and Commissioned.. Was just not in the cards for us..
Anyway,
Email to the Mooloolaba Office in Australia, I have gotten blitzed on Whiskey on the back of my Helia with Patrick, and I think he is the "Inside Man"..
Now two more things: WELCOME TO THE FORUM, POST NUMBER ONE!!
Secondly, maybe you are an experienced and accomplished Sailor, then fine. But if not well experienced with Cats you need to know this: Even the Saba is A BIG
BOAT !! I mean getting into a
dock in a cross
current or
wind,
anchoring is big,
sails are big, this is a BIG
BOAT if you have any ideas of
Single Handling like me. I have forty years experience, and am in sheltered waters along the 200 islands of the coast of
Queensland up into the
Great Barrier Reef, so I have easy sailing compared to many...
Also, you would really need to understand the design. I had a Helia 44 for several years, and this Saba 50
sails and handles, and motors, almost the same. If they were coming out with a new model, that is a really big gamble. I mean you would almost want to
Charter one for a few weeks somewhere to see for yourself OK?
Kind regards, Saba 50 "SERENITY"
