Outremer 49 PRICE REDUCED

Price Reduced by $50,000! I just received a call from the owner of this Outremer 49. He is planning to take his cat back to the west coast (CA) and would prefer to sell it here on the east coast before securing plans (and deposit) for shipping it over. Which means, he is VERY MOTIVATED to sell.

This 2011 Outremer 49 owner's version catamaran is located in Fort Lauderdale, FL and is in mint condition! This is a unique opportunity for owners looking to purchase this offshore proven multihull without the 9 month wait of a new boat and associated costs of a delivery in France. This boat is available right now on the US East Coast (DUTY PAID) and is ready to sail around the world.

STRAY CAT is beautiful and impeccably maintained and equipped with the Offshore Pack along with some very expensive high tech upgrades:

Carbon mast with Kevlar shrouds
Halyard and reef lines in Dyneema
Harken electric winches
Incidences Hydranet Mainsail & Self Tacking Jib
Incidences Code 0

Mastervolt Lithium Phosphate batteries, 740 AH
Extra alternators, Mastervolt 130A (2)
U.S. and European Shore Power

B&G H3000 system with Pilot and Gyro compass
NKE ultrasonic speed sensor
KVH mini-VSAT Broadband Internet/phone
Ericsson W35 cell router Internet & phone
Raymarine E120W Plotters (2) & Digital Radar
Raymarine AIS 500 Transceiver

12V Front opening freezer
Espar hydronic heater plumbed to hot water tank
Electro-Scan black water treatment (2)
Plastimo Liferaft
Rocna 33kg + Fortress 9.5kg anchors
2012 Honda 9.5HP four stroke outboard

This special yacht is suitable for fun day sailing (think guy bonding or entertaining clients) or extended offshore navigation (picture traveling world ports with the family or just the two of you) - no catamaran can do both as effectively as an Outremer. ;)

Best yet is that she is docked with Outremer's US service center: JUST CATAMARANS, so any personalization of the yacht can easily be done by their qualified technicians. Visit the online listing, visit the boat and see for yourself how great this boat really is...

Manta Catamarans Planning a Comeback

After the company ceased production following the former and beloved owner's death in 2008, the company never picked itself back up, despite having a hard core following and being one of the very few US builders of catamarans. Now, Manta Catamarans are in the early stages of re-opening production of the Manta Power and Sail Cats under the new ownership of Charlotte Harbor Sails in Florida. While the new owners are still gathering data for their business plan, they state they hope to begin cleaning and prepping the molds in mid-July and aim to be ready for production in August. Manta's first boat will be the Manta 44 (tentatively called the Mark V) Power Cat with plans to be ready for display at the Miami Boat show. If they are met with enthusiasm by the public, they will continue with their plans to begin production of the Manta 42 Sail Cat shortly thereafter. In addition to reviving the models we have come to know, plans for a new line are in the works for sometime in late 2014-2015. Calling all Manta Owners for their input!
