Well we did it.

We just bought a 40' catamaran, to be mostly used for offshore cruising in
about 5 years. This will be a big step up from the last boat, a 30' heavy
displacement monohull that we cruised on for 3-1/2 years and lived aboard
for 8 years.

This boat was a good price and will need a lot of work - but it will keep me
out of trouble in the time between now and setting off.

Wish me luck - especially finding moorage for a 23' wide boat...

What sort of projects are you undertaking? All boats are a work in progress,
really.

Those boats are fun, me and the kid surprised a guy on one last year
when we asked a him if we could paddle under it. I think his two year
old was more excited than we were when we popped out from the stern
all laid down in our little canoe Good luck, Scotty

It's a Richard Woods design, a "Meander". Foam/glass construction.

http://www.yachtworld.com/passageyachtsales/

and click on "Yachts For Sale" on the left side frame.

Scroll down to "40 Woods Catamaran". She's a nice looking boat.

It's an open bridgedeck design and I will be building a nice light foam
composite bridgedeck cabin, adding a diesel and raising the mast about 2'.

Then it needs a stove, decent electronics, lifelines and stanchions, a
windlass, better autopilot, watermaker, more storage lockers, build a fasty
planing dinghy, etc. etc.

Just little stuff really

Beautiful! Congratulations! Can't tell much from pictures, but it
does look like she's in good shape.
