Anchored at Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand after a 12–13 hour passage from the Hua Hin area, the host of Sailing Doodles lays out a plan to add a motor yacht alongside his new catamaran rather than replace it.1:07 The catamaran is bound for the Mediterranean, but a four-to-five month sailing season there and the 90-day Schengen visa limit leave too little content for a full year, so he wants a power vessel for the Bahamas or the Great Loop during the off-season.2:56 His target is a 1990s Ocean Alexander 45–50, which he rates above a comparable Sea Ray 480 on fit and finish; budget is roughly $100,000–$150,000, funded by selling his CT56, currently in the Chesapeake and asking $150,000.5:48 He rules out another Hatteras as too expensive to run at cruising speeds — roughly $5,000 a month in fuel — and wants diesel, not gas, with a 30 kW lithium-ion battery bank to reduce generator dependence.8:20 The catamaran plan runs through a Thailand flotilla in November, a hired delivery skipper moving the boat from Koh Samui to Phuket, and a sponsored cargo-ship lift to the Mediterranean arriving April–May.15:37
