Example packet · bareboat catamaran

When the hold asks, you open one file.

CAT-420-26 · One-week bareboat on Nautical Dream — a 2008 Lagoon 420 (42 ft cat) out of Bradenton Beach. Every turnover is tie and untie: onboard baseline at castoff, hand back in the same zones, one compare packet when the hold pushes back. Three angles per zone below show the habit on both hulls and the bridgedeck.

Why operators keep the packet

Most weeks it sits quiet. The Monday a guest, broker, or processor asks, that file is the liferaft: same zones, same dates, one story, not a camera roll sorted at midnight.
