Boat: 1994 Solaris Sunstream 40 | is - well, an incredibly artful and effiicient design. I have no personal experience with the Eleuthera 60, although the bridgedeck clearance of most FP's is adequate (or better). Their smaller do have a reputation for rather 'light' construction, although FP apparently uses state of the art finite stress analysis in finalyzing their designs and construction. I have little doubt that one would be capable of a , although there are both faster (but smaller) and more solid (but smaller) cats available in the same range. Brad |

Boat: sold monohul | 58. I was impressed with the Elenthera's volume with in the hulls, and undersatnd that this volume gives her good load carring capacity. Brda thanks to you also, this is my concern, it appears to me that FP make light cat's. I am not an expert on construction so I am wondering if the lightness is due to structual short comings or because the construction technique makes light . Tha major appeal to me is the volume of this yacht so while I am sure their are faster cats but do they have tha same area to store suppliers and ? |

Boat: sold monohul | 40. We absolutly love sailing on a cat the living spaces are to die for not mention sailing level!! We have who will travel with us most if not all the time. Our is ample to a Eleuthera and fit her out. We are fortunate to have a busines that allows us to run it from any where. We are planning tis advenuter to begin in 24-36s months I am trying to get a feel from other peoples experience on how these boats compare to similar size cats in terms of their comparmise from performance to comfort in the living spaces and what is the perception of them as they age? Thanks Erik I have seen that article is in my cat scrapbook! |

Boat: Catana 471 | and for a notch above (in my opinion). (But you may find your needs best met by a custom .) A measure of "perception of them as they age" for the production cats can be made by observing resale values on yachtworld.com of the various builders. Dave |

Boat: sold monohul | , there are a couple of things that didn't suit me. The hulls are narrower so the cabins don't have the roomy feel of the Eleuthera which I was able to board straight after. Also I am not keen on the unsheltered more from sun than rain view. Also can you explain why a Catana is a better performer given that it is heavier. I presume the dagerboards would give it the windward performance, but what about down ? I am thinking a light wide against heavier narrower hulls? I know I sound like an idiot, but I am trying to figure all this out so not to do something I regret. cheers |

Boat: Radford 450 45' Vamoose | . The workmanship is tops and it shows. I was a bit surprised when I was told that it is extremely noisy under sail. The owner says that the slapping the hulls and the under can be deafening to the point he and his wife wear ear plugs. They believe this to be true for all cats.The owners wife also claims she cannot function when under way due to the erratic motion of the boat but does fine on a mono . Today they Sailed from to about a 40 mile sail and said they were tired out from the motion and the , aprox 14kts, left over sea swell and small wind driven waves. |
