    The only thing in common with a L/Cruiser is the fuel consumption

    And they have trouble getting up too I'm told

    Sailfish Marine, the builder of this horsepowered catarmaran, is about 800 metres from my house.

    I and my kids saw this rig (complete with trailer with four axles!) on the back of a float, towed by a serious prime mover.. passed thru Alstonville just a few days ago...

    I wondered where it was going...

    It was kinda big!

    Oh, and just a note to Mark 'n' Deb:
    Sailfish is for real

    they build boats like this all the time from a small operation at Russellton, which is just across the road from Wollongbar and immediately west of Alstonville....

    if your tojo disbelieving troggies have a prob, I'll be over the road in the next few days and well, if you'd like some more pics........

    Given I know (vaguely) the boss (Darren), I'll mention this post to him, that'll be interesting!

    Sailfish is all about large alloy, outboard powered cats (and no, I have no affiliation.....but a mate works there as an outboard mechanic)

    My neighbour brought a F350 to tow his boat and it isn't as big as this one, mind you where he goes fishing, it's a 10 hour drive.
