Boat is located in Delta, BC, Canada. Not sure how this will work COVID-wise if you're not in Canada already, though I think our borders are open to US citizens.

One of these catamarans has circumnavigated! Check out Rory's Cooking Fat online. James Wharram designed these Polynesian-style boats to be simple and seaworthy.

Includes EasyLoader trailer with extended tongue. I tow on BC roads with a $1/day extra-width permit and can launch in 20 mins (just raise the mast and off you go!) The boat has had a lot of upgrading and thought put into the systems and sails. The deck, beams and new hatches are painted (high quality 1-part polyurethane). Bottom paint is good. Only need to repaint the remainder of the decks and hulls to finish. The current paint is fine; I'm just halfway through the process.

Comes with:
2-person inflatable (Eagle),
Excel anchor, chain and rode (used once),
14' sculling oar,
6hp 2-stroke Yamaha (recently tuned up and winterized), new gas tank.
Extra long bailer, fire extinguisher, flares, etc…
Lots of additional cleats, rope, pulleys, rivets, SS bolts & screws, etc..
Regular Hobie 16 jib, spinnaker, and main make for easy to get new sails
and hardware (I've replaced the jib already and the spinnaker is in good
shape since I usually use the bigger resized reacher that works downwind
or on a reach).
Additional sunshade for the deck when at anchor

I have made the following additions or modifications to the original:
port and stbd dodgers and biminis,
anchor/gas/motor well in center deck,
bowsprit with genoa (on continuous line furler), drifter, reacher.
2 additional mast tangs for added foresails and another set of shrouds
(Hobie ones are SS, new are dyneema).
I also added another fwd hatch in each hull to access the very forward part
of the main section of the hulls (gear stored up there was always hard to
reach).

This boat is fast and flat sailing. It doesn’t roll at anchor and you can very comfortably sleep one in each hull (12’ long) on a camping mat and more on the deck. The deck itself (6’ X 7’) is amazing… like a sailboat with a little patio! I’m selling it because my wife prefers something with more room ‘inside’.
