Description

"Jabulo" is a 2002 Dean 440 catamaran, built by Dean Catamarans in Capetown, South Africa. She has been our full time live-aboard cruising home in French Polynesia for the past 3 years, however health concerns now mean we must change our lifestyle.

In the pursuit of extreme seaworthiness, all Dean Catamarans feature very buoyant full bows with the bridge deck carried well forward and small trampoline area. They feature asymmetrical hulls, where the outside curvature is much greater than the inner hull curvature, resulting in a reduced wave forming action between the hulls (reduced venturi effect). This, coupled with a high bridge deck clearance dramatically reduces under bridge deck slamming, while also improving overall performance.

Another feature of Dean Catamaran's are the mast which is raked aft by 7 degrees. This unusual feature assists both the yachts upwind performance, and its ability to tack through the wind without the difficulties associated with some other catamarans.

We have loved "Jabulo" for many things. Firstly the Dean 440 sets a perfect mix of space, comfort and performance. We will sail rings around a 'condo-cat', yet still be comfortable and controllable enough to enjoy doing it. Secondly, the boat is galley-down which gives so much more comfort and usable space than the charter oriented galley-up

The boat has been imported into French Polynesia and so can remain here forever, for short holiday stays or long term cruising in the best cruising area in the world. Alternatively kick off your trip of a lifetime from here - the boat is fully fitted out and ready to go (just bring your toothbrushes)

Over EUR 50,000 has been spent on the boat over the last few years and key features include ;
spacious 4 cabin / 3 bathroom layout
1.4kw solar on 3 x Victron mppt controllers
12v echotec watermaker (35lph)
6kg frontloading washing machine
150L refrigerator + 125L freezer
full safety gear including in-survey liferaft
quality RIB + outboard
very comprehensive fit out of equipment and tools / spares
