Flash brand new main sail fitted on Power of Two today! She will be a very smart, fast cat on the water this summer. With the new jib from last year she will be hard to beat. Many thanks to Gareth of Southern Sails, another superb creation. That's one very big sail!

Sad to say our sailing catamaran JAMARH is now FOR SALE. She has been a very successful charter boat and through the years many people have created special memories while on board. Jamarh has been part of many special holidays and celebrations. She is much loved, but it is now time for someone else to have that joy. Do you imagine yourself as the new owner to take Jamarh on her next adventures? Just give us a call!
