COMMENTS:
This home on the waves is perfect for the live aboard couple or family who
want great sailing performance combined with the comforts of a home afloat and
a venue for entertaining. At $262,000 US it’s priced to sell. Compared with
comparably equipped catamarans on the market, this is a tremendous deal. Lots
of extras and NEW additions make this an irresistible vessel for those who
want to sail and live in comfort, safety and style.
She is an exceptionally strong and well-built boat designed for the tough
South African sea conditions.
She is a serious blue water sailing boat ideal for a sailing couple or family
who wants space. With sweptback rig designed to increase lift, asymmetrical
hulls in bow and high clearance off water, she sails very well to windward and
with very little pounding from waves. The
newly installed battcar system will enable ease of sailing and the dual helm
controls will help in maneuvering.
With four spacious sleeping cabins two with en-suite bathrooms and one day
bathroom for guests make this a boat for those who want space and comfort when
they cruise. New leather salon couch and teak and maple floors as well as new
refinishing give the boat an aura of tasteful luxury.
The outer hulls have been re-fiber glassed by the
original manufacture using custom boat techniques, making it BETTER than
typical factory production. Reports from qualified marine surveyor plus
fiberglass expert confirm the quality. Major overhaul at original factory
means that, in addition to new glass on hulls, the boat is cosmetically like a
new one. It has a one-year factory guarantee from date of manufacture on all
new work performed. Re-glassing was due to delaminaton problem arising from
faulty resin.
Some of the NEW additions by the DEAN CATAMARANS factory include the
following:
Genuine teak and maple flooring in main
salon, galley and port hull common areas
Corian tops in galley with corian back splash all in sandstone color
