    Hi Jon,

    I think many cats are capable of blue water cruising, Jeanneaus and
    Beneteaus come to mind. It's just on how you set them up.

    Well, since every Leopard cat (from 38 feet to around 65 feet now i think)
    is delivered on its own keels from South Africa - 90% to the Caribbean i think
    they have proved their blue water capabilities and their bridge deck
    clearance is well very low too on the 38 through 47 foot models not so sure about
    the bigger ones. I only know of one Beneteau cat the Bennie Blue and i would
    not call that a blue water cat but then it is all about blue water people with
    blue water mindsets - sheeesh look at Rosie Swale going round the world on a
    cat enfamilie eons ago when that was a totally off the wall thing to do.
     
    regards
     
    David
