At this rate production cats will look like Croatian gullets in a few years with a pissy little rig and 20 Berths to make the customers feel like they are sailing .......

Hmmm, galley slave vacation. Might require some creative marketing! A fat camp perhaps?

There is no longer any info at the Aeroyacht website related to the Alpha 42. Are they no longer offering this catamaran for sale?

Actually, a Google search isn't very helpful for this question. The Alpha site is up, but Aeroyachts doesn't list the Alpha anymore.

I guess the poster was asking if anyone here had better info than Google.

Sailorman, that could be the Alpha theme song. Gotta love that Aussie sense of humor. The skipper is from Sydney. His sense of humor re the Alpha is wearing a bit thin. In general Jim Jeffries helps. One of these days I'll post the whole Alpha story.
