I am James and these are our tales. I am ably assisted by my wife Mary-Ann, children, and friends and have turned a hobby into a cruising passion, sharing what many will never see in a lifetime.
We could not afford our first catamaran, so...set out building one in 2003. What an experience that was. We crudely dialogued the process and have written how we achieved this on a tight budget through our Books including
A Sailing Catamaran Building Adventure.
After the 5-year build, we launched and the whole family enjoyed the fruits-of-out-labour. Circumstances then changed and she was sadly sold. This allowed us to get a taste of the sailing catamaran arena without the heavy price-tag.
By accident in 2020, we then came across a 2011 LAGOON L400 just begging for some tender-loving-care and keen adventurers.
The purchase has been a major stepping stone for us. We did a major upgrade and she is now refurbished for extended remote cruising away from the hustle and bustle, permitting a lot more single-handed sailing, diving, and ventures to new countries.The yacht is well set up to venture off the beaten track and its these deserted cays and anchorages that we want to enjoy. This vessel was sold in 2023.
In 2024, we purchased a 2018 Leopard 45. This journey saw us sail over 4000 nm through the stunning South Pacific back to Australia. She too got a facelift, with a 110vAC to 240vAC power conversion, 3.2 Kw of solar, and 1600 Ahr lithium bank.
