Sailing Jeanneau Catamaran to Rapa, south pacific

I did a delivery on A 55ft catamaran from Fiji-New Zealand-Rapa-Raivavae-Tahiti. A huge trip with 3 crazy Brazilians. It was not very windy when we took the video and I know 8.5 knots is not lightning fast but compared to my yacht it is quite amazing, also the stability while going this speed is incredible. If I was doing 8.5 knts on my boat everyone would be hanging on for there lives and everything else that had not fallen on the floor would be smashing about in cupboards.... still i do prefer a mono hull, I have done about 75,000nm and the only time I even felt close to being sea sick was on this boat!! Was a fantastic trip though. There were a few occasions when we got the boat up to 18knts... btw its not me talking cos i cant speak Portuguese.Anyway check out my 'crew wanted' web site. http://sailontankgirl.com/
