1795.0. "Catamaran charter in BVI" by DLO03::CARRERA () Sun Sep 22 1991 10:47

    I am in the process of planning a Spring (April or May) charter in the
    BVI . My plans are, if I can get some additional couples to
    participate, to charter a Privelege 39 Catamaran for 1 or 2 weeks,
    likely 1 week but flexible. I am looking for 3 couples who would like
    to join us. If ther is any interest, plse contact me by E-mail or by
    phone, DTN 486-6203, (214) 404-6203.
    
    The Privelege Cat is 39' LOA with a 20' beam. It sleeps 8 in 4 double
    staterooms, 1 for each hull, with 1 head with shower per hull.

1795.1WE'LL TAKE A HULL!FSOA::JGARDINEROpen Systems ProgramWed Sep 25 1991 15:159
    We may be interested in reserving a hull.  My wife and I and another
    couple were considering a BVI charter for next Spring/Fall and might be
    willing to take two fo your four cabins on the Cat.  Can you give me
    anymore details?  Charterer?  Cost?  Package deal or al la cart?
    
    Thanks,

1795.2Penny wise and people foolishAKOCOA::DJOHNSTONWed Sep 25 1991 15:308
    Eight people on one 39 foot boat of any configuration is four too many.
    Don't make the mistake of trying to reduce charter fees by adding too
    many people.  The savings are only a portion of the entire vacation
    cost and the results will more than likely not be good.
    
    Two 39's for eight people would be fun!

1795.3Get Lost on a 40' CatMEMORY::LAZGINMon Oct 21 1991 19:0913
    Ah, and Dave now I know you've never spent a week on a Cat!
    
    A 40' Cat is almost 20' wide!!!   Thats 800 square feet for people to
    spread out on!!
    
    I sailed for a week in the South of France on 40' Cat with 7 people,
    and 4 separate state rooms, and nobody got in the way!
    
    Since the boat 'never' heels, one can be comfortable almost anywhere,
    and the salon is Huge!
