and the Cape 40

[CFR]

Hi stuarth, we arrived in Portugal after 5 month nice sailing down the coast from Hamburg to Lagos. There are 3 Marimba 44 built side by side in germany in the eighties based on a long discussion between mr. Luetke and Alan. The lines are still very nice but a little bit rolly downwind, upwind it is much better. The round aluminium hull with 5 ton lead ballst gives a nice sailing and the deep centercockpit is perfect ti live abord. A littel bit like a Amel Marmau
