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!


Hi Luc,

Since you are asking, I have lived a lot on a Swan 651, at all angles, but sails are also stabilizing which I like in heavy seas where all slow going yachts, also cats are rolling.

I know that Perini are building hulls in Turkey, as well as the 87 m Maltese Falcon, but all yachts under 70 m are built in the old Picchiotti yard in Viareggio where I have visited them several times. The first Perinis however were built by Ortona Navi.

The question if the perfect yacht is a power-cat or not will be unanswered until we can see the perfect power-cat built I think. You know I can help you getting a design together and it might also be perfect, but it takes a lot more than just making a nice rendering here I am afraid...
