Sailing Catamaran Offbeat
Sailing Catamaran Offbeat is a 2010 Leopard 38 built in Cape Town South Africa. She is our floating home and travel vessel as we move from port to port up and down the eastern seaboard. Because of her vintage, she was sailed from South Africa to Fort Lauderdale Florida on her own bottom, proving she is seaworthy and has plenty of boat for us newbies.
