Big sailing catamaran, usually solo but it can be more fun to have others along. Maybe you? Caribbean cruising again 2025-26. I particularly enjoy the French islands, less admin hassle, better supermarkets and croissants.

There’s good safety and not too much boat jargon on board. Left/Right is fine.

60-ft Fontaine Pajot Eleuthera is a comfy boat, safe and plenty of room.

I bought this slightly-older 2004 boat from the first owner in 2017. Easy to maintain, not complicated, comfortable and not too precious.

It's a good sea-friendly catamaran layout - gas cooking, galley-up (not downstairs in the hulls) with Yanmar motors and no iffy upper flybridge.

Solar power, lithium batteries and watermaker means free water and free hot water. New alarm systems give lots of (loud) warning of rainstorms or ships/boats from many miles away.

In the Caribbean this is a regular "white sails" boat with beam winds giving +10knots between islands. If you're an experienced sailor, you'll know that's quite quick. If you aren't, well, yes, it does sound slow, what's the fuss about?

Current crew... just me at the moment.

I've sailed over 100,000nm, engineering background so i can quite often fix stuff, or work around it, or bribe someone else to fix or replace it.

The boat stays in Trinidad over UK summer, so meeting up first is possible. I’ll fly back to the boat in September, relaunch in October.

I'm looking for intelligent, flexible fun types with enough experience of being at sea to know that you don't much get seasick.

This is a gentle full-season trip through the Caribbean. Sailing, anchoring, dingy ashore for shopping and lunch.

I'll show how everything works, as much as you like. If anything happens outside the boat or goes wrong on board you just tell/wake me, no issue. There are super-loud alarms that pick up other ships way before they’re visible.

3 cabins - two doubles and one quadruple, plus a big saloon/galley between.

Anything and everything on the boat that needs doing - we gotta do it. Fixing, cleaning stuff and so on. Or okay, I might find/pay someone else to do it if it’s properly broken.

“Easy going” means exactly that - you’re cool, regardless. All sorts of people might come on board, the planned destination might change, or anything - an “adventure” is unpredictable by definition. So if there’s anything in your bio marked STRICTLY this or MANDATORY that ... it means you aren’t truly “easy going”, doesn’t it? I saw one bio with “easy going unless provoked” (!) which really means “not easy going at all”…

I try sail the boat quickly, but it's not a race. Unless we’re gaining on some other boat on the horizon of course, in which case- it’s a race! Unless we fall behind, and then it wasn't a race at all.

Oh and .. one issue that sometimes comes up: axes and especially axe-murdering activities are specifically NOT ALLOWED on board, so please don't bring any axes. Or guns, don't bring them either. Rap music is another no-no, not quite so lethal though.
