MAD PROPS – After we beached our catamaran in the Whitsundays it was pretty clear we were not impressed with our propellers. We have some exciting news – we have decided to get new propellers and they have arrived!
We are the James Family, we purchased an unfinished aluminium catamaran and are fixing her up as we sail around the world. Come onboard our boat and join this sailing family aboard on our floating home!
