Buying a CHEAP & NEGLECTED 49ft performance CATAMARAN

I just bought this cheap 49ft neglected performance catamaran. An Erik Lerouge design Freydis 49 built by Ocean Cat in 2000. In the coming series I will take you along in fixing it up and preparing it to go sailing. But first a quick flashback, I’m Hugo a 31 year old guy from the Netherlands who left the corporate world behind to become a Sailor. I’ve been living onboard my previous boat, a Jeanneau Sun Legende 41 for the past 6 years. And the last 3.5 years I have been travelling full time and met my girlfriend Maria. We sailed the Mediterranean, Atlantic Europe, I did a 4 week solo Atlantic crossing to Brazil of which you can find a daily vlog on this channel, the carribean and crossed back again to Europe to sell the boat. After sailing on a Performance catamaran of friends I’ve been dreaming of owning one. And that day has finally come! There is lots to do, but let’s start with the story of how I bought the boat. --------------------------------------------- Welcome to Boatlife is best.
