Many sailors dream of moving aboard, casting off and sailing the world's oceans. Not as many non-sailors do, making those who learn to sail in order to quickly become full-time, ocean-crossing liveaboard cruisers even more impressive. One such group is the Burnett family from Minnesota.

A significant, but sometimes overlooked, advantage of owning a yacht through a Charter Yacht Ownership Program is the camaraderie and friendship that comes along with it. It affords you the opportunity to meet a whole community of boaters and sailors who have many of the same interests as you.

The reviewer from Hong Kong's YachtStyle Magazine didn't actually "pop down to Florida from New York without stopping" for his sea trial, but by just suggesting the trip he puts the Leopard 51 PC's phenomenal cruising range into context. "Take enough food," he jokes in this uncommonly pithy article for a boat review, which first appeared in YachtStyle and then also on Luxuo's website. As a more local reference, he adds that the power cat can also cover Hong Kong to Manila and back without refueling.

An exceptionally high percentage of Sunsail and Moorings yacht owners are repeat owners. We're proud of this fact, as it's a testament to the success of the program from a buyer's perspective. It also demonstrates that the option to trade-in at the end of the program is viable.
Moorings Owners Rob and Sue Engelke, for example, first bought a Moorings catamaran, a 4500, in 1999 in the Bahamas. Throughout the years, Rob and Sue traded their Moorings 4500 in for a Moorings 4700, then a Moorings 4600, and finally, the Moorings 4800 that they own today.
