Also included in the sale is an inflatable tender plus 2 hp Evinrude outboard, fenders, warps and a bosun's chair.

REMARKS: This vessel has been only lightly used due to the fact that her owner - a yacht delivery skipper - is often away on ocean deliveries of yachts. As with any cruising cat, the amount of accommodation cannot be directly compared with that of a single-hulled vessel of the same length. It is understood that the vessel had a satisfactory insurance survey in late 2000 and that the vessel's hulls were epoxy coated to 6" above the waterline.

OUR OPINION: A good solid boat, with a lot of space for the overall length.
