1974 Iroquois 30 Mk 2 Cruising Catamaran

Located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm in contract to buy another boat and need this boat to sell fast!

The Iroquois is an English built cruising catamaran that can sleep 8 and is bluewater capable. Prior to this boat, it was a struggle to get my wife to go sailing with me. Now, she wants to quit her job and go to Mexico. We both love this boat but have decided that since there will be 4 of us going on this trip that we want a bigger boat. Another cat of course.

Sisterships have circumnavigated and many have substantially cruised. The Iroquois has a reputation of being a great sailing boat that is fast and points well. It has adjustable leeboards and kick up rudders. It draws 18” with the leeboards up and 5' with them down.

At 13.6 feet wide it has a lot of interior space but can still fit in a normal size slip. It has two doubles in the two aft cabins, two singles in the forward areas of the pontoons and the table in the main salon converts to a double. The headroom is 4'11" on the bridgedeck and 6'3" in the pontoons.

They have a great owner's group that's been active since the 1960s and is a great source of information. The current website is www.iroquois.org.uk .

It's in good sailing condition with many upgrades. It's not perfect cosmetically but is in great structural shape. Below is a list of equipment.
