Saw this boat called Narama, POR Sydney, a long way from home in Moorea, French Polynesia last month.
Is she a Brolga? Magpie?
In the background is Gazelle, the gzillion dollar Gunboat 60.
My guess would be Magpie. The mast is too short and the boom too long for a Brolga. Its a credit to the designer that that vessel can still sail with its cruising additions!
Plenty of pictures of Berrimilla to down load to compare. Probably the best known Brolga 33 and most travelled.
Saw the post while on the bus this morning. I know Berri quite well and she does have a long boom, compared to the S&S. The deck profile and transom also fit the Brolga. But then I am not familiar with the Magpie.
If an underside can be pretty, this boats' certainly is. The shape of her keel is gorgeous. It's almost a shame that it's usually hidden by the water.
OMG, I'm not having thoughts about going back to the mono side, am I???
Must not, must not, must not think about pretty monohulls!!
The beautiful wine glass lines that you can imagine cutting through the waves. Go on, you can imagine.
I think the Devil is tempting me.
Have been asked to go for a ride on a Lyons 50 Bundy to Coffs...maybe I shouldn't! Remain true to my God, the Multihull!![}:)][}:)]
And you, Planesailing putting diagrams of your Cole 43 which I ummed and ahhed over for months once upon a time.
Devils!!
Hmmm. there must be a reason "good boats" look like this????
Oh! I know! because they are "Good Boats".
There really is something special about a seaworthy shape.
Not knocking the Multi. BUT these beauties stir some emotion.
Touche Planesailing
as much as I don't think I will ever go back to owning a mono because of the things I love about multis - speed, space, speed, stability, shallow draft, did I mention speed - multis will, however, never have quite the aesthetic appeal of a good monohull.
I just can't say that I've seen too many pretty cats, and that includes my own girl. Although, the Erik Lerouge Azuli F40 that I am working towards is beautiful in the eyes of this beholder...not excessive freeboard, only 5ft headroom in the bridgedeck (my height
) so not boxy...very sassy.
But, then again, some of the bigger tris are quite charming - the old Crowther Buccaneers or there's a green Grainger called Ocean Emu that's just stunning! 
If I was swayed towards a cat. (and sometimes am). I really like the look of the SIG45.
I do lust over the shallow draft of a Multi.
Anyway sorry to hijack the thread.
