medical probs at present we are reluctantly selling our simpson Cat ,This well known cruising cat has looked after us well and will do the same for her next owner.Based in Cairns
Australia

. Discounted for quick
sale this month only serious buyer quick
sale - Well known and proven ocean cruising cat was designed by Roger Simpson and purpose built for her very tall owner. Sokari is not a standard Simpson 12. A wider than normal coachroof gives a much larger
interior. 2 super king cabins, 2 singles. The 12 metre hulls (extended during construction) were married to Roger's 12.01 design which had a wider
cabin top. This ensured there are few areas in the
boat where owner has to stoop. She has been repowered with low hour Kubota D850 motors (after 15 years good performance from originals – also low hour), new balanced spade rudders were fitted a few years ago giving very good turning performance and other fittings and
equipment are brand new. The
interior is being revamped – recovering, repainting etc. All
work outstanding at this stage is purely cosmetic. Otherwise Sokari is ready and raring to
cruise (off-shore or coastal) again. Sokari has kept us safe and sound during many thousands of ocean miles. She is a joy to sail and will take you wherever you may dream of going as well as being a comfortable home. She is large and roomy inside. She has never let us down. This
boat is kept simple so is easy to maintain and
repair if and when needed.
Diesel consumption is approx. 1.5 litres per hr per
motor, so is economical to run. Sokari was repainted externally in November 2006. We are currently freshening her up inside, so that she will be ready to go anywhere again. The
price - negotiable - will reflect our progress inside. Owner was recently injured requiring long healing process hence
current short term
price reduction. Location Cairns,
