Description
If you are just going to purchase a Lagoon or similar for the same kind of price think twice Charlie Brown because this just knocks spots of anything you may have laid your eyes on.
Easily more spacious than some 60 footers, sadly only two were built and the other I believe suffered some extensive hurricane damage
The unique styling and space offered by stepping the mast on a carbon arch allowing the saloon to be pushed much farther forward grants an amazing large spacious saloon for the size of catamaran.
Built at the TAYANA shipyard in Taiwan in 2014 If it needs fixing it's fixed, ha! He constantly throws money at the boat and has to have the latest gadgets and kit.
No expense is spared when it comes to the safety of his family and his beloved boat is something quite special.
The owner is also willing to spend some time going through the systems of the boat and go sailing with you to make sure you are completely comfortable with all of the systems on board handling the sails and manoeuvring with confidence, which is priceless for any buyer.
Steve and his family have shared many happy adventures on "Chasing Waterfalls" and documented every moment.
Chasing Waterfalls is a 52' Luxury Sailing Catamaran built by the renowned boat builder, Tayana Yachts. 4 cabin with owners version on the port side and including midship bunk beds on the starboard, this boat is designed to world cruise, is very strong with thick hulls and over built rigging, etc. Everywhere you look on this boat, it has more than it needs which adds much comfort for those who are planning a serious voyage.
There were only 2 built, this is the second hull and no expense was spared in the design. From gorgeous sailing lines, spiral stainless steel staircase to the flybridge.
She has had a lot of improvements over the years since built as you will see below and optimally maintained.
The owner has put $285,000 of amenities into her and it has taken our crew from Ft. Lauderdale through the Caribbean, Columbia, Panama, Galapagos, French Polynesia and now in Hawaii.
COVID-19 initially slowed our circumnavigation and brought us to Hawaii from French Polynesia but life changes have now ended the journey. My wife is a German Doctor and has an opportunity to complete residency here, the kids are loving school so we are planting our roots. It looks like with these changes, we now have a 10-year plan in Hawaii. This means at some point, our vessel is available for sale.
