Rob,
I am sure you know Ballotta Catamarans in Lima Peru. Georgio says it is an easy
downwind, with the current run to Panama. What's his bid price ? He's got the experience
and KSS knowledge, plus long track record of building boats. Charges in $US which may a
good thing.

Don't know any other commercial builders using KSS.
Is Raoul from Multicascos in San Paulo, Brazil still interested ? http://www.multicas
bit far but also downwind with the current run to the Caribbean. He was asking for
payment in Euro's. No KSS experience though.
Sorry Thailand too far.
