Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am the builder, owner, and skipper of the catamaran which is a 38 foot sailing catamaran. Was first launched December 2019 so all equipment is new, there are 4 cabins and 2 heads, together with normal navigation and safety equipment as expected for a cruising catamaran, which is survey certified
The boat is currently in Australia after just completing 20k nm from south Africa to western Australia via Cape town,st Helena, Brazil, Caribbean, Columbia, Panama, Sab Blas, French Polynesia, Bora Bora, Fiji, Vanuatu, Torres straight, Dawin, Dampier archipelago, and ready for further cruising in the Kimberley’s or Indonesia

A lady crew member, who would like to join the boat with the laid back cruising lifestyle, rock and roll music, Beatles Rolling Stones Dire Straights etc enjoyed snorkeling / scuba and generally having a fun time and share the provision cost etc, obviously the boat maintenance would be for my cost
I am in good physical shape and have always maintained excellent health, and had to be by taking on the project to build a new catamaran by myself with one helper from start to launch
