Miami Boat Show to feature 3 Fountaine Pajot's

The Miami Sail and Power Boat Show (Feb 17-21) has become one of the worlds most important gathering places for new sail and power multihulls. At this years show more than 45 catamarans and trimarans are expected to be displayed. Aeroyacht Ltd. and other dealers of the Fountain Pajot Team are planning to display their magnificent Eleuthera 60 flagship catamaran, a Lavezzi 40, and the new Cumberland 44 Trawler Yacht. All 3 vessels are composite/infusion built and the newest generation created by Fountaine Pajot, the world's most experienced builder of cruising catamarans, who now has an unprecedented 1600 boats sailing the world.

The Miami Boat Show will feature other attractions such as educational venues such as the Discover Boating Center, which is a feature at the show located in C Lobby. The Center is designed as a resource to help people who are new to boating to get into the boat that is right for them. The host who is manning the booth will walk the consumer through a series of questions before offering unbiased, brand-neutral advice about which categories of boats will best fit their needs.

"It's pretty fundamental," says Steve Tadd, Discover Boating's Program Manager "We do not recommend brands. We personalize advice to build confidence and to coach the potential buyer into buying the boat that will create a satisfying boating experience. Boats are a big investment and we need to get it right for the individual consumer the first time so that he/she can enjoy boating for the rest of their lives."

Outremer Catamarans finish 1.-2. in ARC Transatlantic Race

WILLOW's crew, Robin, Peter, Theresa, Stephane and Gregor celebrate their second place finish in the ARC transatlantic race.

Outremer 55S WILLOW crossed the finish line in second position behind GIROLATA - the winner another fast Outremer.

In this years edition of the ARC 192 boats participated among them many cruising multihulls, such as Fountaine Pajot's, Lagoons, Privileges, Catanas and Outremer catamarans.

"There were good winds in the first 48 hours. In fact, that smallest boat [Glad, a Comfort 30] broke her boom on the second day. But then there were only patches of wind and a big hole in the middle, five days with very little wind," comments Jeremy Wyatt of organizers World Cruising Club. "On the flip side, there were not many breakages."

WILLOW is presently in St. Lucia and will be sailed to Aeroyacht's NY location in Spring. She will be available for demo sails.
