Same size inside as the Lagoon 380 and sails much faster.

Re: Best Blue Water Cat Around 35-40'
Great blog @ SVReach.com by Colemj! Especially if your in the market for a Manta.
But if you plan hull extensions, I would think the opposite approach of forming the shape and building it up directly on the hull to be faster. Awesome documentation of the molded approach on his site. Well done.

I was very impressed with the hull extensions that Colemj did also. Should give him much more floatations to carry his Huge dinghy and give the boat a bit more hull speed.

i would recomend that you alos look at the aventure 33 even do i¨m looking at much bigger cats she had something i could not get out of my mind with the whole layout and the build quality looks really good as well send me a pm if you want the price and spec and important factor here is that i wont make any money at all..
here is a link to her http://www.aventura-catamarans.com/b...rans.php?ref=4 with al specs added and hybrid as well her cost will be around 210.000 Euro

I just figured out why there were comments in a different thread about the issue of going up and down stairs in a catamaran. There is a much different arrangement on my cat and it looks to be much harder on this boat. I have never been on a Wharram but have been on several other production cats and going down the stairs looks to be a lot easier than going down the stairs in this pix.

These boats are living in the hulls only.... open deck, no saloon.
