After a serious dig for a better deal I may have found "the one." She's a 1992 Arber Compromise 30 cat in tired but sound condition and the price is extremely good. Will be going up to see her once the owner gets back home in a few weeks.
Shawn Arber is a well-known catamaran designer/builder and marina owner in Brisbane but he only issued one set of plans for kit builders, and this is an example of that design. According to his son Damien the yacht in question was built very closely to plan and is regarded as a good sample by those who have seen her.
Not too big, not too expensive and not too much work. Seems like a Compromise I can live with. The delivery skipper who brought her down from Mackay in Jan 2016 was having a ball in the video I found, surfing waves at 14 knots.
