Paikea
Paikea is a 42ft Catana Catamaran built in 1990 in the Catana factory in France. The Catana42s was designed by the well known Australian designed Lock Crowther. This design vessel is the grandma of modern performance cruising catamarans.
We have spent the last 5 years living on board Paikea with our 3 children and spending any of our spare time modifying and upgrading her for bluewater sailing. The following links are specific to the upgrades and modifications we have made to our Catana42s Paikea. They include explanations on processes and materials used to support the YouTube videos you have seen on the youngbarnacles channel.
