Catamaran sailor kidnaps his 3 kids

[Sand crab]

This just goes to show you what a dastardley bunch all catamaran sailors are.
Just kidding.
I'm posting this on the multihull section because on the news last night they had a picture of the boat and I think it was a cat but it was hard to tell. Could have been a tri and you know that those guys area nefarious bunch.
Just kidding, again.
I had met one of these kids a couple of years ago when my friends kid brought him over for a summer barbeque at my house. My friends kid has already talked to the kidnapee and they actually had some fun on the boat with dad. I don't think they will be spending much time with him in the future. LOL.
I'd like to see pics of the boat. Anybody?

Beats living on land.

It seems to me that most 12, 13 or 15 year olds could jump ship pretty easily if they wanted to.

So sad to hear how adults act.

About halfway into this vid is the boat. Can't tell what kind.

Deja vu all over again

"Sterling Hayden often professed distaste for film acting, claiming he did it mainly to pay for his ships and voyages. In 1958, after a bitter divorce, he was awarded custody of his children. He defied a court order and sailed to Tahiti with all four children, Christian, Dana, Gretchen and Matthew."[

And I don't think it was a multi, since within a half-mile of Bahamian waters the Coast Guard caught up with them, had it be a multi, he would have made it past the line. lol

They would not be able to fit all three on a mono so must be a multi...just kidding...but would like to be kidnapped anyone with a lux multi for a few weeks. Don't expect reward...noone would pay

statistically most kidnappings involve the non-custodial parent.
same crime - same police/fed action.

The Cat is called the "Night Dragon"
Looks like a Catalac

That boat which is a Catalac 12M is for sale now on Tropic Cat's site. It's aptly named Lunacy. Might be a good deal, too.
