It was a case of love at first sight when Jon and Katie Perrins saw an ILIAD 50 power catamaran. Caroline Strainig reports on how the romance is going a year on.  

Purpose-built motor catamarans like the new explorer-style ILIAD 50 give owners a versatile vessel for heading over far horizons, as Kevin Green discovers.

Yes. The ILIAD 50 is a powercat. So that’s two hulls. Like derrr! But what you also have is a large, voluminous, well-built vessel that really has two lives. One is slow, and the other is quicker. Right. So that is a pretty simple statement, but underlying it all is the sort of subtlety that is reflected in the whole genesis of firstly the brand, this boat in particular, and the way you’ll live it and love it.
