Buying a Catamaran: Our St Francis 50, SV Aphrodite, Is Ours

In short

In March 2015 the sale closed and we became the proud owners of SV Aphrodite, a St Francis 50 catamaran. It took a busy day and many helpers to pull together the insurance, the payment and the survey paperwork. Rick flew to Fort Lauderdale to sail her to Bradenton, Florida, with Dave, a sailor and former St Francis owner. For our family and as first-time boat owners, it was a real milestone.

The sale has closed. We are now the proud owners of SV Aphrodite, a St Francis 50 catamaran. It’s been a busy day and lots of people were involved to help get all of the pieces together – insurance, payment and survey paperwork.

My husband is flying to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow and will be travelling with sailor, and former St Francis owner Dave for the passage to Bradenton, Florida. They plan to sail on Sunday.
