Mark,

Managua, 03.10.09. Mark, Thank you very much for your suggestion, yes i visited their site and heard kind words from an other listee who ordered hull # 6. Definately to keep in my folder as their reputation of quality seems well established. This listee told me that on its maiden "voyage" seas to a trawler show she encountered rough seas and behaved beyond the expectations of teh builder so said his wife. He also mentionned the new Volvo engines which production started in 2009 ans should be ready to be dropped in the boat by 2010 which fits perfectly his schedule. Have a great day, Sinclair Managua, Nicaragua. Today's Topics: 1. Passage maker power catamaran 42'/47' (Sinclair Dubier-Routier) 2.

Not a proven Nordy, but their sailboats have an excellent reputation for build quality. looks like there is a flybridge option, not sure if you spec'd smaller hp diesels would help range or not. maybe a bit of weight savings could be converted in increased fuel carriage. As some else suggested, with a water maker you could carry less water and more fuel.
