Oh man... I so want this....

(I worry about the PO maintenance however, as even the lifelines are slack)

This catamaran sits in my marina and doesn't sail often. We are in Brittany, not in Switzerland.

Extreme yes, odd no. That looks like a rocket ship. Must be fun to sail.

I think there was a thread recently on why people quit cruising.
Lack of mobility is obviously one big reason, but.......
There can be another stage in one's boating career, as below

Try starting a new thread with this topic rather than posting to an existing thread with an unrelated topic. If you have problems with that let me know and I'll coach you through it.

When I'm out on the lake I like to take this bad boy out for a float... And yes, that is a genuine built-in wine cooler LOL:

I like the way you float! I am not a beer lover but champagne is perfect-although someone may have to help me back in!!

Cool!

Look at those daggerboards pulled out/up.

WOW!

What an awesome and unique place that would be to live!

360 degrees views of the water!
Literally ON the water!
No neighbors!

Comes with pet Cormorants too!

All it needs is a fresh coat of paint.

Seriously cool place to have as a place on the water or to run as a B&B. cool.

Freakin' awesome.

It would be soooo cool.

Maybe a little hard to get onto but I guess they would have or have had some sort of dock, no?

What kind of anchor is best for a lighthouse?

[Therapy]

This one could work.

We could all chip in a few bucks and buy the lighthouse to be the official Cruisers Forum East Coast Clubhouse.
