[PCW] Aventure Power Catamarans

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

All hands--

Tim Jordaan of Aventure Power Catamarans informs that he'll be 
showing the new Aventure 50 at the boat show in Palm Beach, Florida, 
starting on March 22.

Aventure now has a new site at 
<http://www.aventure-powercatamaran.com> showcasing its four models 
built in South Africa.

Development continues on the interesting wind-assisted Aventure passagemaker:

Writes Tim: "The huge asymmetrical with socks are not a problem, it 
is still the kite, but that will be sorted.The expectations as per 
the VPP program gives us good speeds of 8 to 12 knots on reaching 
conditions in 15 to 20 knots of true wind.

"So, as a proper power catamaran that can top 23 knots under power, 
and more if need be, she still sails extremely well in the right 
conditions. Truly a great long-range true power catamaran."

Here's a question that he'd like feedback on:

"As 90% of all our equipment is bought in the U.S., I am 
thinking about completing a motor-away power catamaran, installing 
all the electrical, plumbing, electronic, AC ducts, and sea-cocks and 
let the the buyer fit the units at a later date. This would put the 
buyer on the water, and during winter he can fit equipment to his 
wants and needs. Gives the client also a good reason the go to the 
shows, and chat on your list about different solutions and products.

"I would make the start-up package affordable, completing the 
outsides of the Aventure Power Catamaran
as it always appears. Have any thoughts on that?"
