I spent about a week there last spring while sailing south. It seemed like a fine spot for what you intend. I''d like to go back and spend more time there.

Installation of Raymarine 4000
Thanks.

Multihull - Prout vs Catalac
I bought a PDQ32 last year, I did some research at that time, it seems to me that Prout and Catalacs of that size were regarded as good boats with similar performance.
