Georgs,
After selling my monohull, I have been studying power
catamarans for
almost 5 years. I read numerous magazines, attend boat shows
and
seminars, and speak with other power catamaran owners and manufacturers.
The information that you and your colleagues teach us neophytes about
the
technical aspects of powercats is invaluable.
The recent discourse
by and about builders is critical information
needed to assist our
decision-making process in the selection of a new
catamaran. As you have
taught me through your site, this impacts i)
construction,(ii) cost, (iii)
length of build, (iv)warrantee protection,
as well as other related matters.
I recognize your concerns and the reason(s) for your decision, but I do
think
that as prospective powercat owners, we need all of the
information
available. Perhaps, a "sister site" could be considered to
harbor commercial
and business matters pertaining to powercats. Both
negative and positive
feedback, give the reader a balanced overview.
Thanks for listening.
This open format is outstanding!

To Dr Steve Leveston.
I sincerely believe and recommend that all prospective
buers start dialogue, once they
are interested in a design on offer, directly with the naval architect.
There might be discussions on certain changes and so forth and when finally
the prospective buyer
is ready to purchase and move forward, many issues are solved which makes
the builders program more efficient.
The designer would or could also vouch for the builder or even make
alternative suggestions, at least the client is happy
with the design and the all functions required of his dream vessel.
As per a previous blog on the downfall of builders, deposits, insurance etc,
we at Aventure Power Catamaran, also ask
for stage payments.
These stage payments are only invoiced after each stage is completed, a
practice administered in quite a few shipyards in Europe, alternatively by
Letter of Credit.
The vessel is surveyed on the completion of each stage and signed off as per
CE rules.
The vessel is insured right from start and the certificate is in the favor
of client, safe guarding
the client and his investment, not only in the case of bankruptcy, but from
a disaster, in the case with boat builders,
the main hazard, natural disasters.
There are only a handful of dedicated Power catamaran Builders that have
been in business for more than 10 years,
And therefore the progression of Power Catamarans is still quite new and the
need for greater attention
when signing the order.
