REWARD!
The Catamaran
Catatumbo, 71’ x 40’
A
reward of US$ 3,000.00 will be paid to the first person that supplies me
with information that leads me to the catamaran formerly known as Catatumbo. I
am looking for her. Hoping to find her, make the purchase and restore her to
surf the oceans.
The
reward will be paid in any way that will suit the lucky receiver, by bank
check, telegraphic transfer, Pay Pal or other; you name it, as long as it is a
legal way of transferring funds.
On
the deck of a catamaran journeying
across the Pacific, the idea was conceived and sketched, purely based on the
builder's sailing experience with great designers such as the late Lock
Crowther of Australia.
She
was to be strong, but fast, with recipe of cold molded veneer, West System epoxy,
with cutter rig for simplicity and ample sail area. 71 ft overall, 40 ft beam, sail area 4225 sq.
ft. Finished in 1992, near a beach in
Venezuela.
The
former owner informed she was sailed to Trinidad in February 2003 and sold from
there near the end of the same year. A French national living in Cuba was said
to be the buyer. Neither the authorities in Trinidad nor in Cuba respond to my
questions about arrival and departure data, importation etc., therefore this
request for help in my search.
