Welcome aboard

Meet SV Driemi

A Leopard 50 catamaran built for long passages, easy anchorages and the golden hour.

Driemi is home base for Driemi Winds: a light, open saloon, a wraparound cockpit made for sundowners, and the stability of two hulls under a tall rig. She was designed by Simonis-Voogd and built by Robertson & Caine, and she sails as comfortably as she lives.

This page shares her with friends, family and the cruisers we meet along the way. Take a look around, then say hello.

Life aboard

Room to breathe

Inside and out, Driemi is built for living on the water. The cockpit, forward and flybridge lounges, a bright saloon and galley, a dinette for the whole crew, and Li-Li the tender for trips ashore.

After dark

Lit from below

When the sun goes down, Driemi's underwater lights turn the water electric blue. It's the best seat in the harbour for a nightcap under the stars.

Cruising grounds

Three seas, one boat

From the Caribbean to the Andaman Sea and the Sulu Sea, these are the waters Driemi calls home.

The name

Drina + Emily

Every boat has a story behind her name. Driemi's belongs to Craig's daughters: the first three letters of Drina and Emily make DRI·EMI. The tender, meanwhile, is named for Li-Li, the family pug who grew up right alongside them.

Three inspirations, one boat.
