And…we have her!
Pas de Deux, a capable, if somewhat rough around the edges, Oceanic 30 catamaran is ours. We have paid the deposit, signed the papers, and Benn is over at the marina in Ipswich now, swabbing the deck and doing other boaty things to get her in ship shape.
There is no question that she will need a bit of work (see the picture below for confirmation), but we are so ready and willing and able to do it, that it hardly even matters.

Good luck Sarah C (or Sarah G?)… Sounds like a wonderful adventure. Maybe one day you’ll be passing through the Panama Canal and pick us up for a sail. Love ya. Tia em

It’s always easier to buy a boat than build one from scratch…having done both, I would never build one again. 😉

Thank you! I’m not sure that we have the skills for boat building (or are ever likely to acquire them), so I’m glad to hear it’s not recommended! It seems like buying a boat is hard enough as it is!

We didn’t either, nothing like being thrown in the deep end – good character building they say!
Indeed, buying a boat is hard enough and you’ll have a blast with the freedom a boat brings. 😉
