Who WE aRE?

SV Vivian is a Proud Quest 31 witch is our new home. She was made in the UK in 1979, being the hull number 10. Proud Quest 31 is a strong build sailing catamaran, seaworthy, with good sailing characteristics for his class. She’s all fiberglass being strong build having a solid hull. She’s having a big genoa, a small storm, stay-sail, and a battened main. We have few great advantages over a mono-hull – more deck space, a much shallower drought, and less rolling at anchor, being so comfortable for us to work onboard. A proven ocean going catamaran with an enviable reputation. Ideal livea-board for a couple or single. Spacious salon ample natural light, functional galley and an abundance of storage.

The engine is a Yanmar 2QM15 Diesel with lifting sail-drive, fitted in the middle of the aft, back to the cockpit.
