Claudia meets Archer

Delivery from the BVI to Hampton, VA                                    May 2016

Archer Outremer 51 owned by Rick & Julie Palm
Archer recently got a new paint job, a bright red hull.  She is ‘hot’. This is a catamaran with the curb appeal of a Ferrari.  She has her own logo on the hull and etched into the glass doors.   ​
I don’t know why cat builders are stingy with handholds but they are.  Check out these sturdy and well placed holds. In the galley they have they bonus effect of preventing unintentional lights on/off when you lean against the switches.  They are also nicely placed as grab bars when you climb or descend the steps from the helm seat or port side. In the shower they are especially welcomed on the owner’s side since that shower is so far forward in the hull.
