Description: |
I upgraded from a hobie sailboat to this beautiful catboat. I wanted something larger to take my kids and guests along.
This gorgeous boat is a mini yacht!
It has two berths, with an option to connect them in the middle for a super sized double.
A sink, ice box, and lpg stove make up the galley.
The head is an easy to manage porta-potty and a separate vanity sink.
The boat is beautifully appointed, with teak trim, a bow pulpit, and a traditional ships wheel completes the helm. If you love classic styling, this checks all the boxes!
A catboat has a large single large sail - this makes it easy to sail single handed, and no slouch off the wind.
A drop down centerboard allows gunkholing and getting where other boats can't, but even with it up the built in skeg means no sacrifice in upwind performance.
The 8hp outboard is more than adequate for this boat, and raises out of the water when sailing so it has no drag, unlike an inboard. It's also much easier to service.
Best of all, it has the easiest mast raising and lowering system, doing it myself takes literally minutes to go from trailer to fully rigged!
She could use minor polishing on exterior trim, and some paint touch up to her bottom.
There is some gelcoat cracks as usual for a boat this age.
This boat was kept in freshwater on lake Keuka in upstate NY until I bought her this summer, and she was lifted into the water, so the trailer was never in the water. I trailered the boat 275 miles down to where I live without issue - All lights work, and the trailer has surge brakes.
Title for boat and trailer registration are in hand.
The reason I am selling is since I trailer launch and sail usually single handed, it's just too much boat for me. I got a good deal on it, I'd like to pass on some of those savings to her next loving owner.
