The first one was an Outborn 44L, which I bought end 2001. But I changed my plans due to a very interesting offer for a boat of which I dreamt of for long time! So I sold the Outborn. It is a very nice boat which I refurbished extensively. Please check my Outborn 44L page.
The second one was a catamaran. The boat was a Catana 471 (performance catamaran with dagger boards). It was build in 1997. It served for chartering (the less bright side of the boat) in the Caribbean area. I bought the boat in 2003 and sold it beginning 2010. Here is a page with information about this Catana 471...
A friend and I recently (May-June 2010) bought a 'new' boat. It's totally different from the previous ones... It's a classic yawl (2 masts) of 1964, entirely made of wood. There is a lot of work to do to bring it back to its former glory.
Here are some pictures of the boat...
