About Songlines
Songlines is an Ocean 48.8 performance sailing catamaran launched December 2005 in South Carolina USA.
An owners version, three cabin, two bathroom version, she has the Larouge signature moulded curved fore beam. She also has extended sterns for increased buoyancy and better sailing performance.
She is easily managed by a shorthanded crew, with all halyards, sheets and reef lines return to the completely enclosable cockpit. So when you see "Songlines" drop by and say "gidday mate!"
