I am not happy at all with the broker who sold me the boat nor the FP people as well. I have gotten nothing but a continuous run around trying to get them to stand behind their warranty but to no avail. This is a very poor organization and should not be allowed to do business in the U.S. or any where else.

James, have you considered looking at the Endeavourcats? There are currently three of us having the new 48 built. Tons of room/livability, the builder is great to deal with and very open to modifications (ours is having the top deck opened up) Fast build time turnaround (four months) Great value, particularly if you are in sterling as the dollar is currently so weak. They have built over 200 catamarans to date and there are a lo of happy customers, many who have bought more than one endeavour regards Jonah.

Jonah: Can you give us some details: where are you going to have the Endeavour shipped to - England? What modifications are you having done, and when you say you are opening up the top deck can you expound on what design changes are being made and what you mean? I have looked at the Endeavour site and the info on the 48; very impressive but was wondering how much windage there will be - or is this a problem on a Cat?

The boat will remain in the states for cruising the Loop and the Bahamas. (We live in Bermuda) The stairs to the pilothouse are being closed in and accessed from the rear deck. The fibreglass at the rear of the skylounge and two thirds of the way along the sides will be removed and we will use canvas. There will also be drop down canvas behind the pilot station for heat/ air/bugs. Having custom wet painting storage installed below the stairwell (I'm an artist) Full size washer dryer big rocna anchor big aussie bbq at transom. Jonah.
