Again - You read it here first! We are publishing the first spy shots of the all new Summerland 40 Trawler cat by Fountaine Pajot. She is an innovative new power catamaran that has been exclusively designed for long family cruises.

In terms of comfort and life on-board she features an infusion-composite construction for strength and longevity. On board this unique trawler yacht, cruisers will soon appreciate the open spaces void of all obstacles and the sheltered cockpit with a direct access to the large flybridge..

Chosen by the editors of SAIL Magazine as one of the 100 greatest sailing yachts in North America J im Brown tells us: "Those years were probably the most challenging, yet fun and fulfilling, years of our lives. We sold or gave away everything we had that did not belong on the boat. We had little idea of where we were going but had no intention of returning to California"

"By 1970 we had the hulls complete and the main hull's interior roughed-in. With the help of friends we were able to move the hulls to Santa Cruz for assembly near a launching ramp. Moved in pieces, this was perhaps the most hazardous voyage she has ever made. Completion took nearly a year of almost full-time work, but we finally had a great launching with friends"
