Thanks to all for the info. I was aware of comments regarding a Prowler catamaran. I found the New Zealand Prowler http://www.prowler.co.nz/ , but it did not register that there once was a South Africa Prowler, much less that it is now being built/sold by CharterCats as the Tortuga 42, http://www.cruisercats.com/index.htm, or that Schionning Design also has a Prowler http://www.schionningdesigns.com.au/www/welcome.cfm . What sort of running gear protection do the SA Prowlers have? Captain Hanna- Care to share any photos of your South African Prowler, especially engine room access? Thanks. -George
