Trawler or Sailing Catamaran
hi everybody

we are a cruising couple, currently owners of a small Beneteau Swift Trawler 30, based in Italy.
still working hard, so typical use of the boat is weekends (all) plus 2 off-season cruises per year of 7/10 days plus 1 in-season (august) cruise per year of 15/20 days.

we have good experience in coastal cruising, with about 15.000 Nm and hundreds night at anchor. in the past (20 years ago) I used to charter lots of monohull sailboats for two weeks cruise in the Greek Islands
we are still "young" and (so far) athletics and in good health.
no kids, no chihuahuas, no parrots...

we are at the point of start looking for our next life as full time cruisers. our target is cruising for 3/4 years the whole Med and then exit the Med.
Maybe a jump to Canary Islands, followed by an extended trip with Norway as final destination.

it's not our intention to open a new "next liveaboard thread" considering that there are already many of them, all interesting.

the debate is: Trawler or Sailing Catamaran
we are oriented to a boat of 40/45 foot
we already made our consideration between what can offer both the solutions, analyzing plus and minus...

they shall be capable boats, not interested in the ocean crossing, let's say that we would limit our max passage based on the time window of 5 days (weather forecast sufficient consistency)
just to give an exmple of type of boat we "like", at the moment we are looking to the N41 and the Leopard 42

we would like to hear from the CF community any comment or suggestion.
