Hi Lars,
Hi Alex,

Between 2 trips I'm updating my forums-reading.
I think our first decision will have to be power or sail.
Perini's are very nice yachts (built in Turkey, not Italy) but .....
Did you ever try to "live" at an angle of 11-12° Lars? Very tiring and quite unpractical under the shower or on the toilet-facilities!

I have been for a long time now, I still am, and I will continue to favour a powercat.
33M - which is already a very comfortable size - can still be handled by a coupe, if they're knowledgeable.
If we take 8M beam, then that's not very much wider than a monohull of 40M, agreed?
So the berth-problem is a non-problem.

And I'm still convinced, tests to take place this winter, that one can use a kite for passage-making!

On page 1 I posted a LM design - "KiteCat" - 30M - still my favourite.
