Hello! We are Ashley and Colin, the Roaming Rupps 🙂 Last year, we made a goal to buy a sailboat before 2022.
We began searching for a used catamaran that would be able to take us off shore to distance shores, but COVID threw us a curve ball. Due to the COVID lockdowns and supply chain issues, catamarans became very desirable and hard to find. This created so much demand, prices went through the roof!
We came across this Beneteau Oceanis 500 which checked almost every box!
Follow along as we modernize her, get her splashed and sail her to warmer waters.
Meet our Beneteau Oceanis 500
