Min båt men båt Mange fick midget en väldigt vindkänslig båt. Hon tycker inte om hård vind och hon kräver rätt så mycket jobb att segla i hård vind och i detta tillfället så kom det en vindpust och hon la sig för mycket och tappade Rode fäste. Men det är roligt att pressa båten till det yttersta

We are selling Taiga, our home for the last 13 years. Taiga is a high performance Catana catamaran designed by Lock Crowther and built in the Catana yard in France in 1997 in very good condition. This is the ocean-going model with daggerboards for sprightly upwind performance and the only Catana with a custom built, protected inside steering station. She comes complete with all stores, full complement of tools, spares, and misc dive gear. Taiga is a very comfortable liveaboard with a roomy, well thought-out galley-up design handy to the big cockpit table. The master cabin and both guest cabins have queen beds. The two heads are electric and each have a dedicated shower. Her solar array provides plenty of power. Taiga has been carefully maintained and is ready to continue cruising by just moving aboard. We are currently in Martinique, planning to head to Sint Maarten next week. We hate to give up this lovely catamaran and fabulous lifestyle, but it’s time for us to change gears. https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/catana-44
