In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we continue comparing Sailing Catamarans from the Annapolis Sailboat Show in terms of how we feel they would suit our needs as a full time Liveaboard future home.

In this episode we continue with two more boats from Fountaine Pajot. The Saona 47' (New in 2017) and the Saba 50'. We have to realize that when we sell everything and buy our future floating home, we will probably still not be able to afford a new Catamaran so will be looking at one on the used market. That changes everything because if money was no option we would assuredly buy one of the Custom Catamarans that is built to suit the owners requested needs and come completely kitted out from the factory with everything you would need (Solar Power, Water Maker, Radar, AIS etc etc) for Living Aboard. Problem with boats like that is they are very expensive when new and very few of them are built every year, so there are not that many on the used market. As such, the prices of these boats do not fall as far on the used market as the mass production boats such as the ones built by the 3 largest builders, Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon and Leopard.

In the next episode we will be starting to cover the Catamarans built by Lagoon. Last year when we did a similar comparisons, the Lagoon 450S was our favorite production Catamaran. Stay tuned to see if that is still the case this year.
