Tilia is a 2015 Antares 44i, built in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Antares catamarans are built to be world cruising boats, operated by their owners. Many design choices have been made to make these boats comfortable, safe and reliable to operate all over the world.
Tilia is Latin for linden tree. Many cultures have positive associations with the linden tree, including Luck and Prosperity (Baltic), Truth and Justice (Germanic), and Love and Fidelity (Roman). When we moved into the house where we raised our children, we planted a linden tree in the front yard, and felt bringing those good associations with us on our boat would be promising.
