There is a lot to consider when choosing a vessel to take you around the world, particularly when you have two young children coming along for the ride. Safety, of course, is the first consideration. So it was no surprise to us when Ted and Jennifer decided to buy Antares 44i s/v Ohana. They took delivery of their catamaran nearly two years ago in Argentina.

With a monohull background, Ted and Jen began their search for a catamaran for many reasons but were mainly focused on function in terms of the space, and seaworthiness. Their journey quickly brought them to Antares, which was, in their own words, the only choice.

“From the bulkhead and all the structure, I could tell that the designer knew what he was doing. It was a very solid and a very well thought design in every little detail, from the angle of the steps and the sugar scoops, where everything is placed, to the engines being central and the shaft drive.

A lot of the other catamarans are very fragile. Nobody else has a skegged rudder. So, the skegged rudder was a big deal, too. And having a wind shield, an enclosed cockpit, and having the whole thing set up so it can be single handed, meant that one of us can sail the boat and the other one can be with the kids.” Says Ted.

With that in mind, Ohana is one of the newest Antares on the market and is outfitted with Selden’s powered in-mast furling mainsail. This makes cruising just that much easier, particularly for short-handed sailors, without any sacrifice to performance.

From two chart plotters to a watermaker, solar panels, SSB radio and more, Ohana is equipped for around-the-world cruising and is a perfect choice for the liveaboard cruiser. Of course, Ohana is also equipped with all the safety gear necessary for a family of four – and includes a liferaft and EPIRB, to name a few.

Ohana is currently docked in Florida and is ready to welcome you aboard on your new adventures.
