What Boat?

Chris and I came home and both wanted to get afloat again and soon. First things first, what boat would be big enough for a family of eight plus the odd crew (family and friends) who would no doubt want to join us at some point. It had to be a catamaran, at least forty foot in length and if we were going to spend that much money on a yacht we would want to sail towards somewhere hot and for a good length of time. We would plan to sale her when we finished our trip, hopefully recouping a good amount of the money we spent on buying her. Most of our friends seemed very positive about our ideas; some people think we are mad to be thinking about going anywhere with so many children, let alone in a yacht!
