Knysna 48

We bought tickets to the "Take the Wheel" program this year and got to ride on two of several boats. We picked the two larger catamarans so La could get a better idea of the ride and size of this class. The first one we rode was a Knysna 48 (the 'k' is silent - so "n-eyes-na" is the pronunciation I got). I had not heard of this builder before seeing this boat. They are out of South Africa and build about four boats a year. This one - "Meka of Tortula" was built in 2010 and is now up for sale if you have $600k in your pocket (which unfortunately I do not otherwise it might have transferred hands). Beautiful boat - and it sailed really well.
