How do you find the streched version. What speeds are you doing?

Any suggestions where I can get more information on extending a Simpson Inspiration?

Did you extend it your self.

I have the short version 10.5m and consider streching her. The max speed seams to be about 8kn.
Thanks

Thanks and noted. Unfortunately our Simpson Inspiration dream fell apart in Mandurah, WesternAustralia.

The local diesel bloke quoted $6-8k to do new seals, injectors, pumps etc and bring them back to speed. Based on that we bought the cat.

When his bill kept goin up and up (to $33,700) for very basic things like new seals o rings, bushes, a new part here and there , we blew the cruising fund and ended up selling the thing to try and get our money back.
Stay away from Mandurah WA

There's a new listing for a Simpson Cloud 12 (https://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for...tamaran/254488) in Sydney. I'll try resurrecting this thread to see if anyone has any new insights into Simpson's. She was a real nice boat when I saw her this weekend.
