Today we are on a test sail aboard the Broadblue 346 Catamaran. The Broadblue 346 is an ideal catamaran for families and couples, this model is small enough to make a passage through the French canals, but robust enough to carry a Category A (Ocean) status, all with 2m headroom throughout the boat. The key to the easy handling is the innovative “sail station” concept, bringing all of the working sheets and halyards to a single forward facing location alongside the helm station. This ensures that the 346 can be easily handled by one person, including reefing of both the main and headsails. The spacious accommodation includes two large double aft cabins and a single cabin forward as standard. This can be extended by incorporating a single cabin amidships on the port side and a saloon conversion for the double berth. When combined with the optional second head this allows up to 8 people to sleep aboard and enjoy facilities of two heads and two showers, all in a 10m catamaran. The 346 is a beautifully crafted catamaran, whose predecessors have sailed all over the World.

This was a great day. Meeting the amazing folks that hang around marinas. Boat people seem to be a different type. They’re helpful and sharing and friendly. Meeting David as he was headed out to drop some crab traps paid dividends when he came back later in the day and would not accept anything in exchange for his time collecting crabs. Two fresh crabs for dinner! Then, later in the day, we helped James and Betty load up their inflatable tender. Asking them if it was for sale and then how much they wanted for it…ended up being ours for free. We’ve been looking at hard-bottom tenders for a couple weeks, and the prices are ridiculous! We’re talking in the ballpark of $7k for new 3 metre hard-bottoms. So, this little boat is a truly appreciated gift. I am filled with gratitude right now.
