Yachtspotting

Hi,

i also want to update you with pictures of other yachts. Most of the time with bigger ones :-)
This "Magic Cat", a french flagged Catamaran made out of carbon fibre. It is said to be extremly fast. The hulls are very slim and the boat is almost as wide as LinoCat long (beam is 36feet) and the length is 82 feet. It has been built by Multiplast under Gilles Ollier and was launched 1996. She still looks perfect but also has been extensivly refitted. She features a rotating carbon wing mast and carbon boom and hydraulic furling. Notice that they still dry their laundry in the wind like we do :-)
It is an extremly slick looking catamaran and its a pleasure to see it from a short distance when walking by. The bow that you see on the left of the first picture is the Wally 98 "Alexia" another high class sailboat currently in Santa Cruz. So is the "Brave Goose of Essex" a 35m Motoryacht. She is permanently here and from what i heard her owner is in prison due to a multimillion timesharing fraud. Nevertheless he still owns that boat and a chalet in France and so on :-)
