One of the benefits of holding our Antares University program in Argentina is that new owners get the opportunity to visit the factory and see the several Antares in various stages of construction. This year, several Antares 44i owners joined us for a trip to Buenos Aires, a factory tour as well as a 3-day Antares University program.
What is Antares University? Antares University brings new owners together in a relaxed, social environment for an orientation session covering major components on the Antares 44i catamaran. Link here to find out more.
Link on video to watch factory tour and Antares University highlights from our most recent program.

 The catamaran we wanted to display at the Miami boat show was 1100 nm away in Antigua - no problem. We flew down to English Harbor where Antares s/v Ona was docked for the delivery trip to Miami. First stop, St. John, USVI where we spent 3 days exploring Francis and Megan's Bay, sailing, snorkeling and enjoying a small taste of the cruising life.
We picked up new Antares owner Mark and friend Dennis in San Juan, PR, and with our sights on getting to Miami, we entered deep water (in fact, the Puerto Rico trench with a depth of 28,373 ft. is the deepest point in the Atlantic Ocean!) and sailed non-stop for the next 7 days.

 One of the many advantages of buying an Antares catamaran is the opportunity to spend time cruising in Brazil. With the exception of a small handful of international sailors living aboard their boats and sailing the waters of South America, few North Americans have the chance to discover Brazil's Costa Verde.
Angra dos Reis is located just south of Rio, and the surrounding bay is dotted with more than 360 islands. Ilha Grande is the biggest of these and is trimmed with pristine beaches skirting its edges and a multitude of emerald green tropical forests and paths leading to the mountainous interior. There are no vehicles on this 20-mile-long island, only a path that circumnavigates the perimeter.

Antares 44i: Best Boat for Globe Girdling?
There is no shortage of advice on how to choose the right offshore boat. But a recent article published in Cruising World really resonated with us. Jimmy Cornell has put together a concise check list of criteria for consideration when buying a circumnavigation class boat.
What struck us most was how the article reads like a check list of all the design elements that went into building the Antares 44i catamaran. We’ve isolated a few key points from Cornell’s article that we feel exemplify our design priorities at Antares Yachts. |
