Bluewater catamarans include design features meant to cross big oceans. Our family is on a ongoing circumnavigation on a St. Francis 50, SV Aphrodite. In the past ten years, we have made upgrades and modifications, which are documented in the equipment list and available to download.
Our boat has appeared in multiple magazines.
The St Francis 50 catamaran has been renamed St Francis 500 and is described on the St Francis Marine website.

This is brilliant! Everyone should do this, (although I know this was a lot of work and hugely time consuming). I’m interested in what made you do this list in the first place?
Because, for us in the event of a catastrophe we’ll have everything online.
We’ve had a few floods, three were minor but two were catastrophic, and to have a list like this would have saved me so much grief, and would have made it a lot easier for our insurance adjuster. What became an obsession for you will now, I’m sure, become an obsession for me – and prompt me to seriously downsize. Thanks, I’m on it …
Thank you – I was reading a similar list for the latest boat and I thought I should write something similar for our boat. We have a lot of interesting equipment that is suited for circumnavigation.
