THIS BOAT HAS BEEN FOUND, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECENT REPORTS.

Photo is of the SV Simplicity which was for sale through
the Multihullcompany.  It is a Francis 48.  It may or may
not be the boat which has been reported missing.

If you have any information about the SV Simplicity, please advise the Coast Guard IMMEDIATELY.  This boat is long over due and look-outs have seen nothing of her. 

The following message was received from Glenn Tuttle, the Cruisers Network:

USCG Wilmington, and USCG Norfolk have issued a lookout for the S/V Simplicity, a 47.5 sailing catamaran. It is a 2003 St. Francis catamaran , US flagged, and skippered by Capt. Ralph Hendry. POB: unknown. Registered Home Port: Wilmington, DE. They have EPIRB, VHF, and HF and a rib dinghy.


They were last heard from in the area of 42 mi. offshore of Wilmington on Nov. 5th. They were going from Hampton, to Ft. Pierce, FL, and are now declared overdue by the USCG. There could be as many as 5 POB, but this is taken from a year old float plan

From Seller

This boat is in perfect condition says the owner.  But buyers should do their own independent investigation as with any yacht purchase.

The Lagoon 42 offers the ultimate in comfort and luxury.  As with most catamarans, she offers more space than can be found in a traditional mono-hull.  Heck, it has two hulls instead of one!

These units come with twin diesel engines for maximum power and maneuverability.  New, this boat prices at just under $500,000.00.  But why buy new when you could own a fabulous yacht for substantially less?

Wish we had the bucks for one of these, but glad someone will be the lucky winner of this 2008 Lagoon 42!
