Qué cubre este vídeo
A 2003 Manta Mark II 42-foot catamaran named Nau and Zen, owned by Leslie and Ralph, who have lived and sailed aboard her for 16 years, splitting time between the Bahamas at anchor and Jacksonville, Florida doing charters.0:04 Daniel spent 10 days aboard with his girlfriend and walks through the entire boat bow to stern.Watch On deck: a dolphin chaser at the bow, a self-tacking jib on its own boom (rare on catamarans, eliminates winching on every tack), a windlass and anchor chain access, and a cockpit with a deep well and large scuppers designed to drain wave flooding before it enters the cabin — a feature specific to the Manta's offshore design intent.1:11 The helm sits high with sightlines to all four corners.4:58 Below, the salon has a well-organized electrical cabinet with dual inverters, 12V and 120V load panels, and a main circuit breaker for the windlass and power winch.14:16 Power management is a constant discipline; Ralph monitors consumption and limits electronics and water use.13:32 The galley has a three-burner non-gimbaling stove, double sink, and carbon-filtered drinking water.15:24 The starboard hull holds a guest cabin, electric toilet, and an outdoor transom shower that uses engine-heated water.18:45 The port hull has the master cabin, where both occupants can sleep head-in — a layout Daniel rates essential for full-time liveaboards.23:33 A Starlink router provides Wi-Fi. The forward cabin serves as a workshop, a pattern Daniel notes on most cruising catamarans.16:54
