    I'm looking for a cat that can be sailed by one or two. We're selling our house in the Hamptons to buy her. I'm torn between a 38 ft Fountaine Pajot Athena (which I can afford), or a 40 ft FP Lavezzi, (which I must wait for). Does anyone in the design world know which one would be best for sailing open ocean? This is a big decision, and I must make the right choice. Thank you.

    The profile doesn't really give all the info about a person. So yes, I'm older than you, but it's never polite to remind a woman how old she is. My fience' is the sailor in the family, and I'm the mover and shaker. I try to get things rolling. Maybe, I'm just a little pushy. I want to wait for the Lavezzi, but he wants to start his new adventures. I haven't heard very good things about the Athena, and only good things (from dealers) about the Lavezzi. Who wouldn't want the commission on a $300,000 boat? What are pics great of?
