St Francis Catamaran

Built for voyaging. this two owner,  2002 St Francis 44 MK II has been home to a family of four over the last three years. Tribe was designed by Angelo Lavranos and built in South Africa. The interior is finished in cherry, and features a roomy and practical 4-queen cabin, 2-head  galley down layout. She has never been in charter and has been well cared for from the day she was launched. Her first owner had her built to his specification and circumnavigated with his family.

Befitting a family cruiser, and unlike many chatter designed cats, there is ample room for storage on Tribe: huge spaces below the aft cabins, the starboard hull has plenty of open shelving (great for books) as well as storage lockers (great for tools) and a wet locker. Forward cabins all have storage space below the beds as well as under the cabin seats and 4 large open storage areas next to each bed.

Tribe has all the essentials to continue cruising and creating memories for her new owners.
