Some info about the boats we have owned

Our current boat as you know is a Seawind 24. It was built in Australia in 1982/83 and imported into the USA. It is hull #230 and was bought as a sample boat for a proposed business to sell Seawinds in the US. The project, however, never got off the ground. Seawind 24's were later built under license in Florida USA. Specs for the boat can be found at http://www.seawindcats.com/index.pl?page=43

We owned one other sailboat, a 35' catamaran, which we built from HDB in Richards Bay, South Africa. It was also Australian, designed by Jeff Schionning. http://www.schionningdesigns.com.au/ We lived aboard this boat for almost 4 years during construction and another year on the water before we sold her. I have included a slide show of the boat from receipt of the hull to the final sale of the boat. She was a lovely boat and an absolute pleasure to sail. Unfortunately we had to sell her when we decided to move to the US. Her name was "eezikapeezi".
