Long term readers of my website will remember that about 15 years ago we bought a home built plywood Romany catamaran and cruised it on the east coast USA and to the Bahamas for a few years.
 
We then sold it to a couple with two young children, who also sailed it to the Bahamas. It had a chequered history after they sold it and it was neglected for some years.
 
Fortunately this year it was sold once again, this time to another family with young children. And I'm sure you are not surprised to learn that it is once again cruising the Bahamas. At least the seventh time the boat has gone there.

As you can see, the family are having fun and are very happy with the boat. Jenna messaged to say "We absolutely LOVE our boat and everyone we have sailed with comments on how well she moves through the water! Just wanted to share!"
