Punch 1000, a wooden catamaran for many "happy hours"

Our used boat test this month took on the deck of a "Punch 1000", intermediate between the "Punch 8,50" and the 12-meter "Bourbon". This open catamaran built in 1987 according to a Harle-Mortain design confirms the relevance of a recipe that is challenged today in new standars, that of a liveaboard catamaran with no central net, seaworthly, pleasant to live in, simple and with attractive performance levels.
