Well, it is official, I now own two boats at the same time, existence proof that I have completely lost my mind.

As discussed previously, I have gone over to the weird side and bought a cruising catamaran, a Maine Cat 30. I will post a picture later, but for right now, if you want to know what that is, you can find it at www.mecat.com.

I still own my C250WK, which will be for sale, but I don't expect it to sell very soon, being winter and all.

The cat is in San Diego, and I will be sailing her up to Portland in January, where we will do some refit work, then sail her to Bellingham in April, where she will be in charter with San Juan Sailing (although there is no ink on the agreement with San Juan Sailing yet, but I assume it will all happen). Liza, I and our three dogs are looking forward to some nice cruising in the San Juan Islands over the next several years...

If the cat charters a lot, it will pay for a lot of its costs, and after the 250 sells, I may end up with a Capri 22 or something to race after work, we'll see...

So did you buy Hull 51? I think this is awesome.

Kewl! Does that make you our first multi-hull guy (not counting the Hobie yahoos)? It'll be interesting to hear how the charter thing works out.

Congrats Kevin! If I bought another boat it would definitely be a cat - I love 'em!

I was just reading about owning a cruiser that goes out for charters, and is yours for the in-between times...I started thinking about living aboard and just doing day sails...of course it might be a tough sell to the Admiral...

Kevin, when you come north let me know if you stop in Morro Bay. Most people that are doing the bash north stop in and rest up before they push on to Monterey and then San Fransisco. If you time it right to be in Morro Bay on a Friday night when the bar is open I'll buy you a drink to celebrate your new boat.

If you stop - check conditions at the bar first and I don't mean the yacht club bar!



I'll post a different thread re the photo from Morro Bay

Very nice, congrats.

I spent a year in Australia, and saw that most of their boats are multi-hulled. Main reason I heard, was for getting thru the surf -which in Australia is a huge concern.
Couple that with their shallow water abilities and their larger brighter cabins and you have some great reasons for buying a multi-hull.
Keep us up to date on how it goes.

Hey Kevin

Wow you are a brave soul, looks like heavey weather all the way down the west coast today. I hope you are finding safe harbor with an internet cafe or something and get a chance to update us on your trip up the coast. Hope to see your new boat at Hayden Bay soon.
