After eight wonderful years of sailing and life at sea, we’ve made the heartfelt decision to sell our beloved catamaran.
Unfortunately, our captain’s health hasn’t improved enough for us to continue sailing, and as we now settle in Austria, we hope Umadum will soon find a new crew ready for fresh horizons and ocean adventures.

Below you’ll find the full description of the boat, together with photos and our video tour — so you can get a real feeling for her space and spirit.

So, Umadum is now officially on the market.
Viewings will be possible in Panama starting from March, when Tali will be there in person to welcome interested buyers on board.

LOOPING 45 PERFORMANCE CRUISING CATAMARAN

A rare opportunity to own a true performance cruising catamaran — built for serious long-distance sailing and liveaboard comfort.
Umadum has carried us halfway around the world and holds countless memories. WIth the preowners she went three times over the Atlantic and crossed the Pacific.
She’s fast, light, and designed with a sailor’s heart in mind. Now it’s time for her next adventure.

VOYAGING HISTORY
Umadum has a story.

Before we owned her, she had already completed a remarkable journey:
She sailed from Europe, crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean, returned to Europe, then slowly made her way across the Atlantic again and the Pacific Ocean, all the way to Asia — Thailand, where we found her, fell in love, and made her our home.

We bought her in 2014 and set sail from Malaysia — chasing a dream, not a route.
Over the next 8 years, we crossed the Indian Ocean, sailed along the coast of Africa, crossed the South Atlantic, reached the Caribbean, and eventually arrived in Panama, taking our time and embracing the journey.

Our plan was to continue into the Pacific — but health issues of the captain made us pause.
And so, with a heavy heart but deep gratitude, we are now offering Umadum to someone ready to write her next chapter.

When Günther first saw the boat in Thailand, he brought in a professional surveyor. The boat was hauled out and carefully inspected. The surveyor looked at the hulls, paused, and said:

“That’s a good boat. You should take her.”
Günther blinked. “That’s it? That’s the full survey?”
The surveyor smiled:
“No, not all. But I’ve never seen a catamaran with zero cracks between the hulls and the bridgedeck.”

That’s the kind of build we’re talking about.
