PURRRFECTION IS "FOR SALE":

Purrrfection has been ... perfection. Were it not for 2 teenage girls wanting after several years of live-aboard life to go to a "regular" high school on land, we'd still be cruising. Our family of 4 sailed Purrrfection from Florida through the Caribbean and across the Pacific to American Samoa. With 1 child in university and 1 still in high school, we've decided that it makes sense to put Purrrfection on the market. (OK, so it took me several months to come to the conclusion that this is the right thing to do. I love this boat!) Unlike catamarans coming out of charter, Purrrfection is set up for serious blue water cruising.
