Rick:
Your friend could do with a 36-40' power cat.

I have a friend too.
Retired DL airline captain, lifetime sailor. We both grew up in S. Fla. He has sailed competitively for 40 years. Hobies to monohulls, 12 feet to 12 meters. Last year, He took his family (3 generations) on a Moorings 46 Power Cat in the BVI. He said that’s the only way he would do it again! I said he's crazy!

I'm waiting a couple of years until our our third generations are a little older and we can go sailing on a 45-50 sailing Cat.

Then again, in a 24 hour day on any sailboat (especially in the BVI) how many hours will you be under sail?
Isn’t that’s why sail or power catamarans are so popular! Private cabins, en suite heads, (electric-flush-freshwater,) three decks, multiple gathering spaces - and still separate places! Add gensets, A/C, Bluetooth, water makers, blue lights, ice makers!

Oh My! Wish I was there RIGHT NOW!
