[PCW] Fountaine Pajot Cumberland 44 & Cat A rating

[gram rupert]

Thanks for that, Ian (Sorry about the James before). I never actually  
realised that F-P catas achieved Cat. A status (or B for that  
matter), and I have been giving serious thought to them myself for  
some time. Returning to the power aspect, however, (which is the  
point of this forum), which engines do you have on her? I am thinking  
that sailing her around Gsy, for example, (just in front of you,  
which is where I live some periods of the year), and finding oneself  
in something like a force 8, you would need something powerful to  
avoid being swept onto the submerged rocks of which there are more  
than a few. Not, as you say, that you would willingly set out in such  
weather, but we can safely hypothesize, without taking the risks. >)

Best,
Rupert.
