Thanks Tal! It's always fun racing the cruising cats on Galveston Bay. It reminds you it's about having fun! Great job on Brizio, you had better speed and tactics than we did and it showed in the finish. You're welcome to join us any time as I'm sure I have a lot to learn! Super cool picture too! thanks!

Thanks for allowing us to host you on Sailing Catamaran Brie prior to your trip to Greece! It is exactly what the company was founded for, allow bareboat sailors to get warmed up and practice skills prior to leaving on their own adventure. When it's time to buy your own catamaran please think of me as I am a licensed and bonded broker with The Catamaran Company. You can borrow my boat anytime if you're not ready to buy just yet! Hope to see you again soon!
