42' Fountaine Pajot Catamaran

S/V Shiraz is on the market after providing her owners with 8 years of safety and comfort. Did I mention a trip "around the world"?! And she is ready to do it again. Meticulously maintained and beautiful she is sitting out the hurricane season in Southport NC.

For more information and details please visit www.slackadventure.com

Asking $255,000 USD

Hi Slackadventure,

I admire your lifestyle and boat.

If still available I would love to receive more information, such as date of upgrades, copies of any surveys previously done and the pro's and cons of Shiraz in your experience of travels , load carrying capacity? Light wind work (all boats are a compromise )

Look forward to reading your website when I get a moment.

Kindest regards

Andy

Catamaran Shiraz

Andy,

A great deal of information is included in the website. We believe that catamarans greatly enhance the cruising lifestyle both underway and at anchor. Of course with the size of the platform, you can carry a great deal of of gear to enhance safety,creature comforts and convenience. Light air performance was hardly ever a problem in our experience.

Regards,

Steve Slack

Green with envy

I have just read your very comprehensive log, wow, what a great trip, great boat!. Good to see that Australia got a mention in the best dive spots. Good luck with the sale, if you want to swap the boat for my house let me know and I'll book a flight today!

Hi Col, Steve,

I am still going thru the Log, lot's of GREAT information and she seems a GREAT boat, Hoping to emulate you Steve.........................

we are looking for something a little younger, but definitely a Cat, at 17 years, her motors would have a of of mileage , sails and rigging replaced and Communication systems updated ?? ( could n't find any information on any updates of the above, I guess they all from 2002 when you took over the boat ??)

Happy Sailing and CONGRATULATIONS on your circumnavigation!!

Andy
