Descriptions

I am a seasoned Marine Engineer by profession, RYA Yachtmaster for leisure and have experience in worldwide sailing, yacht design and building.
I am looking for some people to share a sailing cat with. The idea is a custom-built performance sailing cat worth US$400-450K to be used for expeditions to remote and pristine places in the tropical belt with an emphasis on fishing and freediving. I have had experience with the builder which is trust worthy and can deliver the right spec custom boat in about a year at a price very hard to beat. I have owned the sailing cat in the pics from the same builder but it was not outfitted for long range sailing, the upgrades would have been too expensive and difficult to carry out.
The builder is in Thailand so the partnership will have to start there with choosing the spec and following up the building. The cruising ground will also start in that part of the world but can expand from there as desired as long as unspoiled marine environments are within reach.
I work on a 2.5 month rotation so I could sail up to 5-6 month per year. Ideally, I would also like to sail with the other/s partners in the syndicate. Unlike most sailing vacations, expeditions require pooling resources, passion and skills.
