Steve Walker www.ahoy-boats.com/call-me.htm reviews a NEW catamaran built in Romania, the ELF 26., and talks to its proud builder Cristian Visoiu. This fast, compact, cruising boat has more accommodation and facilities in it than other catamarans of this size like the VirusBoats V8. The outside space lends itself to a very enjoyable, social experience when sailing. Whilst not as fast as modern trimarans of this size, the whole video clearly demonstrates its superiority over monohulls!
