This is the blog of a St Francis 50 sailing catamaran called Suliere.
Suliere is the description the people from St Kilda, a remote part of the British Isles, gave to the gannet.
The gannet was their main source of food and Suliere means ‘the keen eyed one‘.
Our names are Paul and Lesley and whilst we were experienced with large power boats so choosing our first sailing boat took us almost a year.
We had a lot to lean and quickly but after coming up with a short list we started to travel the world just to test sail boats. Choosing a boat can be hard work!
This is a video of the test sail of the St Francis 50 in the Bahamas.
To specify the boat we made a visit to St Francis Marine near Port St Francis South Africa
We then needed to get some sailing experience so, in February 2009, we chartered a skippered cat in the Leeward islands. You can see the v ideo vhere:-

It was now March 09 and time for a visit to see the birth of Suliere.
In October 2009 Suliere was given her new roof!

Hope you are having a time that matches sleek, luxurious and splended ‘Suliere’.
Wish I could have had that turkey butty, and I’d especially like to be next door to you now!!
Florida was cold, but the sky was wonderful.
Happy and safe travelling to you both, love and a special hug to you LL, Trish xx
