STALEY WEIDMAN ANNOUNCED TOP SELLING LAGOON BROKER IN 2004

Immediate Release: October 2004

Staley Weidman again emerged as 2004's top selling Yacht Broker for the most Lagoon catamarans sold in a calendar year in North America.

This unique double achievement - Staley won in 2003! - has helped push The Catamaran Company to its highest sales levels since inception in 1989 and confirmed Staley's position as the leading catamaran broker in the United States.

Staley was instrumental in contributing nearly $8 million of the $20 million-plus sales that The Catamaran Company has so far produced in the first three quarters of 2004.

Staley's achievement also coincides with another milestone for The Catamaran Company as it took its 3rd consecutive Lagoon Dealer Award as the leading catamaran seller in the United States in 2004.

"The Catamaran Company has again proved its status as the most dynamic and committed sales organization in North America and we are proud to present these awards to President Hugh Murray," said Lagoon America in handing over the award to Mr Murray, at the recent Annapolis Boat Show in Maryland, United States.

The awards reflect The Catamaran Company's status as the leading meeting place for catamaran buyers and sellers in North America.
