CAIPIRINHA

## CAIPIRINHA — 14.70m Dufour Catamaran, 2019 Some yachts are built for the long crossing, others for the art of island-hopping. CAIPIRINHA belongs firmly to the second family: a 14.70m / 48ft sailing catamaran from Dufour, delivered in 2019 and based in Greece, where her shallow draft and twin hulls open up the anchorages that deeper monohulls have to admire from a distance. Under sail, the appeal of a catamaran of this size is straightforward — she stays level. No heeling, no bracing yourself against the cockpit coaming with a glass in hand, no rearranging the table when the breeze fills in across the Cyclades. That stability is what makes the difference on a week aboard, whether you are eating on deck at anchor or making a passage under the meltemi. ### Accommodation Four cabins, each with a double bed, accommodate eight guests. The layout is genuinely symmetrical rather than hierarchical — no one draws the short straw, which makes her a natural fit for two or three couples travelling together, or a family that wants everyone to have their own space at the end of the day. ### Life Aboard The catamaran platform gives CAIPIRINHA more usable outdoor living than any monohull of comparable length: a wide cockpit that flows directly off the saloon, generous foredeck space between the hulls, and a beam that turns the whole aft area into one continuous social space. Days aboard tend to organise themselves around it — long lunches at anchor, afternoons at the swim ladder, evenings watching the light drop behind a Greek headland. ### Crew A crew of two runs the yacht: navigation, cooking and service, discreetly handled. On a boat this size that arrangement works particularly well — you get the local knowledge of a professional skipper and meals prepared aboard, without the formality that comes with a larger crew. They know which bays empty out after five o'clock, and where to be when the wind turns. CAIPIRINHA is available for charter in Greece.
