Toews ‘r Us
a family sailing adventure

Shopping last weekend, Kenny and I drove all around Florida looking at catamarans.  What a huge letdown it is to come home with nothing. It’s like doing all the work for a project and not finishing it.

We drove, looked, drove, looked, drove, looked and then drove some more. We saw cats that would work for us, and we saw some that wouldn’t. We saw some that were worth the money and some that weren’t. Some were in great shape, some weren’t. I think we saw seven, with a couple more thrown in that were out of our price range, just for fun. Each one had its good points, except for one which had no good points that I can remember. Each one had some cons as well.

The two that stand out are the Venenzia 42 and the Voyage 38. I wish that we could have seen a Voyage 43 or 44, that’s our third choice. I believe that we’ve narrowed it down to one of those three.

So where do we go from here. How do we evaluate and decide? It’s hard! None of them are perfect. And each one has flaws. What’s the most important and what’s best for our family? Which is safest and will provide the best passages? Which is most comfortable to liveaboard?

So many questions, so few answers.
