Flemment
My Wife and I initially settled on our choice to live on board our 33' CSY sailboat when the economy began falling as a route for our little group of three to bring down our expenses of living and above all satisfy a fantasy and carry on with an existence outside the customary. Undoubtedly this was the best choice we have made and don't lament leaving solid land for a moment.

The times of owning the CSY have given us the direct involvement on what is vital in a live on board vessel. Our Gemini 3400 Catamaran has huge numbers of the things on our list of things to get, including a pullman billet!
