We own the Aventure 460 Liveaboard model called the "Yum Yum" and
completed the great loop last October. We really enjoyed our time in the
Georgian Bay. Have been aboard the Ave 485 several times and she is laid
out different from ours in addition to being 2 feet longer.
We have a folder containing about 30 actual pictures including different
berthing layout drawings we can loan you. The builder gave us this folder
when our boat was in the Ft. Lauderdale boat show and I'm sure he wouldn't
mind me loaning them to you. Sorry, we do not have digital images of the Ave
485 but I'm sure you can find additional ones on the builder's web site
at http://www.aventure-catamaran.com .
Several pictures show the excellent stainless steel hand rail system and
diamond pattern walk around. Each engine room can be easily accessed from an
aft hatch AND also an inside walk in hatch. Since all the Aventure catamarans
are "semi-custom" built, the berthing arrangements will vary from one model to
another and these are shown in the drawings. The Ave 485's main berth has
plenty of headroom and that picture is also in the folder.

Hi Pierre. On one of your earlier post I believe you indicated that you also
have quite a number of photos you intended to post on a website. Do you still
intend to do this? Are you having some problems as to where to post those
pictures, and/or a website presence?
I thought it might be interesting as well if you had those photos you now
speak of scanned and post those as well??
I'm sure there are some free sights you can post them on. In fact you might
check out the gallery section of <www.BoatDesign.net>
