You {Expensive} Beauty
Beware the Pitfalls of the Designer/Builder
The finished product. It looks and goes really well but so would my 19 year old car with this much money spent on it.
Last year this magazine published an article I wrote regarding a self designed and built 35’ power catamaran (Issue #145 July/August 2017). Some months ago, I advertised the boat for sale, expecting some interest from prospective buyers and I have been surprised by the interest in the boat. Surprised not so much from four enquiries from potential buyers but surprised by the many ‘boaties’ that have approached me in various marinas asking all sorts of questions (and expressing very positive comments about the boat) and by six enquiries from like-minded designer/builders of similar craft.
