Specifications & Inventory

 

 A beautiful and traditional catamaran. Sea worthy and solid with massive open deck space - perfect for cruising the tropics. She is only 8 years old and in good shape. For this price you wont find another cat this big and with this much roaming space. She has a commercial license so can be used for charters. Wharrams are popular designs and have proven themselves as very safe ocean going vessels, and are found all over the world. She has a traditional schooner gaffed rig for that classic sailing feel.
