The crew have their own separated quarters.

ONE YEAR OLD - HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday Luxury Catamaran

I just realized your luxury catamaran blog is one year old.

Champagne..

I started posting on this blog on March 27 th 2007. At the beginning I started to experience with blogs for fun and because I am found of cruising cats. Now, writing a post is real hapiness for me. Plus, I learn a lot about the business.

The luxury catamaran business is really booming with many projects being built and on the drawing boards. I am olding a few info for you for the coming weeks until I am authorized to publish them. New projects to come are really innovative in terms of design and building processes, not just replicas of older cats and that is a sign of well being.

Thanks to those of you who take time to leave some comments.

Thanks to those who have suscribed to the blog through FeedBlitz (right end column) many of you are in the industry. I will send you my short history of catamarans by the end of the week before publishing it on the blog next month.

Luxury Catamaran gets on average (since 1 January 2008) and according to the beta version of statcounter 164 page loads, 82 unique visitors and 14 returning visitors a day from all around the world which is quite good for such a niche subject.

For 2008 I would like to move to a three column template. I have tried experiments with wordpress but it takes me to much time to switch. If any one of you knows a free 3 column blogger templates I can customize through blogger, please let me know.

More to come on luxury catamaran, stay tuned.

ZINGARA - MATRIX 76

ZINGARA is a matrix 76 catamaran launched in December 2005. She is one the two silhouette sailing catamarans built in South Africa by the Matrix shipyard. ZINGARA (AKASHA's sister ship) is quite a fast catamaran with her Carbon mast and boom, and Arimid standing riging. Thanks to her innovative design she was the 2006 Miami Show Boat. She is available for charter in the British Virgin Island. She was nammed after a maid (in a gipsy tale) who became the glamourous Countessa of Zingara. She features one owner cabin and four double bed guests cabins. The owner cabin located on the plaform is huge. ZINGARA has a lot of living space to offer inside 165 sq meters (1780 sq feet) and on the flybridge 23 sq meters (250 sq feet) where you will find a Jacuzzi. An interesting features also is a ladder at the mast foot to access the water and climb back up easily. ZINGARA can take you around the Virgin Island in a week itinerary. If you read the guest comments on the website you wan't have any doubts about the profesionnalism of the crew made up of John and Rachelle Yoxall. They both hold a Yachtmasters licence and a Paddi diver certificate. ZINGARA is available for charter with Sunreef Yacht Charter, first class yacht charter, Ed Hemilton, Luxury Yacht Charter amongst others...

SILHOUETTE 76 - MATRIX

I am having a hard time finding luxury catamarans builders outside of France, it seems there are very few of them. If you know of any let me know. I have found this 76 feet catamaran built by the shipyard Matrix in Sout Africa. It provides ample entertainment space on the flybridge which features a jacuzy and a vantage area with commanding 360 degree views. Due to its simple self tacking sail layout it needs only the minimum number of crew to safely manage the yacht. There is a very complete section about the philosphy of this catamaran and all the technical aspects. I like the high tech exterior design. The interior is very clear and there is an amazining size owner cabin located on the platform behing the salon. This is a very unique feature. Of course this obliges to have the galley down which I am not very found of because the hulls become a real oven when the crew does a lot of cooking. But every boat is made out of compromises.
