We've got a name!

We’ve decided on "Nomadicat" :   Nomads living on a hybrid expedition catamaran.


We’re also going to be doing a vinyl wrap on the boat.  Here’s a picture of a similar boat (designed by the same naval architects as the Nomadicat) that ferries workers to the North Sea wind farms. 


It primarily leverages it’s aluminum hull but with a splash of color leveraging a vinyl wrap.


Here are the latest pictures of the A-47 Nomadicat as of last week.  It’s really moving along.










Unfortunately Archipelago had some problems with their sub-contractor in Lyon, France, so Nomadicat’s sister ship, the A4001 a 40ft live-aboard will be heading to the same shed as the Nomadicat in Newport, Isle of Wight to be finished there.  Here’s a pic of the A4001.

Fortunately the engines had not been installed yet making a tough transport job a little easier from France to the UK.

    1. Thanks Scott; ChatGPT was responsible for the Nomadica...just seemed like an easy transition to Nomadicat. Unfortunately the nomadicat.com is already taken by someone's pet cat!! ;-).
