We’ve had interest in Dazcat boat sharing partnerships, or co-ownership. We won't take on the management of any co-owned boats but are happy to help you to find potential co-owners on a location basis – this is how it works: - If you’re interested in co-ownership get in touch with us. - If we know of someone in your area, with your permission we’ll put you in touch. - If we don’t know of someone we’ll make a location-based shout out, as seen on the video. - When someone responds, we’ll put you in touch to discuss your wants and priorities: What model of Dazcat/ Whether to race, cruise or both/ How many partners/ What type of contract etc. - When you’re ready you can come and talk to us about your boat and its requirements. - Of course we are happy to talk to you at any stage of your planning and offer a test sail as per our usual client service. For our first location shout out we have two people in the UK Solent area interested in a Dazcat 1295 build, to be ready for sail in 2022. They are looking for one or two more partners. One of these may want to upgrade plans to a 1495. We have another person interested in the US/ Canada Pacific NW region: Vancouver/ Seattle/ Portland. Contact us at: info@dazcat.com Or find out more about the Dazcat range and prices and Dazcat boat sharing here: https://www.multihullcentre.com/dazcat-catamaran-range/ If you're not in these areas but interested in a Dazcat boat share, contact us anyway as we have people interested in a variety of locations or can do a shout out for you.

We had an interesting final sail on Peter's Firebird in the most wind I sailed in when in Barbados - we sailed with 2 reefs. Peter's friend Eric has a foiling waveboard and he wanted to foil behind the Firebird. In the end he managed it, but there was lots of falling in at the beginning. It was hard work for Peter and I as we had to start at near zero speed, so Eric could grab the tow rope, then slowly accelerate to about 7 knots so he could get ready for lift off. Then accelerate to 10 knots very quickly, so he could lift out. And then control the speed at 10-12 rather than surge up to 15-18. But of course the wind would drop, or he'd fall in or.... but, as I say, after 2 hours he did manage to fly for maybe 30 secs. Although, if we were quick enough, we could stop and heave to after he fell in, sometimes we sailed on too far and then we had to pull in the tow rope (we discovered it was too easy to get it entangled on rudders and daggerboards), tack round and sail back. As always it was scary how quickly a head disappears from view. But interestingly we could easily see him when he was in the sun, it was when he was north of us that he became invisible (one of his sons kept a very close eye on Dad, religiously pointing to his position). Flat water helped, and lots of passing day charter cats got a bit confused by seeing a swimmer apparently a mile out to sea but happily waving!
