Can anyone identify this boat?
 

Spotted by my wife in Bequia about four years ago, says it was the most
beautiful boat she had ever seen. Lousy pic:

Doesn't show the most radical view of the boat - according to my wife,
looking directly at the bow it very much reminded her of a B2 stealth
bomber - 'very swoopy and curvy, with two big windows'.

I told her I'd ask... thanks!

If we freeze play in rec.boats.cruising here, you'll find that
was wailing:

Pic's horrible, and you'll probably get flamed for posting it in a non
binary group, but I'd say that is a Fontaine Pajot cat. Googling will
turn it up, no doubt.

Looks like a Jim Brown tri. Usually cold-molded...

He didn't post it to the group. You can click on the URL or not - not
the same as posting an attachment.

I agree it is a lousy picture. Wasn't even sure it was a catamaran.

Don't agree with your wife - thought it ugly.

Ohhhh steady on - I *didn't* post the pic, I know better than that!
Just posted a link to it. Yes it's lousy - it was a case of 'did you
take a pic of it?' 'no..' 'doh ok... is it possible it's *in* a pic of
something else?'...

but I'd say that is a Fontaine Pajot cat. Googling will

Could very well be - their Bahia 46 is similar - , but wife is not 100%
convinced; feels it might have been something bigger than that.

Definitely wasn't a tri.

Thanks

Mike

It is an Fountaine (sp) Pajot. You can tell by the aluminum
swoopy decorative trim piece by the transom.

And it could well be the Bahia 46 or older 54 model whose
name escapes me.

Neither you did, sorry about that, read it from my web account, too
late at night.

Nope, even tell that from the photo, I'm pretty sure it's a French cat
of some sort.
