Hello old multi, I am just interested in this type of multihull because of its width and occomodation: MATTIA 39 CATAMARAN - 1980 - 55 000 € https://www.xboat.uk/4759-MATTIA+39+CATAMARAN.html Do you have some more information about this catamaran? Thanks a lot

We live in the north of Europe and would like to sail south and later back again by boat. If you don't want to take the long way around the Iberian Peninsula, the boat can have a maximum width of 5m to be able to go through the canals. I once met a couple in South Holland who had a Woods Gypsy...

Hello Jamez, I think, I also can't send you a PM because of the less posts. I found the sketches of the 32R in this thread and I think, the have a few ideas, that I would like to go on with. It's fine to know, that you have the plans and I am interested in having a diskussion with you about...
