Great boat for sailing the St Johns or ICW. It has been dry stored inside for most of its life in AZ. One season in the water in Tampa Bay. Got a trawler so something has to go. Tom Cats are transportable but require a few hours to go from road transport configuration to ready to launch.
The cockpit layout fore and aft facing fold-down sleeper seats and can be used under sail or power. Ccamper-top, with isinglass windscreen, screen side enclosures and solid canvass rear enclosure, mahogany table, snap-in I/O carpet make it a great pocket cruiser for overnight or sport cruise for the weekend.
The single high aspect ratio foil centerboard gives excellent upwind performance, and combined with rockered hulls, easy tacking at any wind speed. Twin interconnected rudders provide dual tiller helm positions for sailing, with a wheel helm steering both motor and rudders for motoring comfort and control. All boards rotate up for shallow draft and beachability. The rig is typical beach cat, with rotating mast and fully battened mainsail. Jibs are roller furling and lazy jacks for the mainsail are standard, so all sail handling is easily done from the cockpit. . The trailer includes all of the mechanisms required to assemble or disassemble the boat for highway travel. Twin hull racks roll out on extension bars and rotate upright, with the bunks now providing side to side positioning. Use the winch to lower the bridgedeck into the hulls, fasten the bolts, and you are ready to raise the rig and go sailing. The motor, batteries and gas tank remain in place during trailering. Access to the hull hatches on the trailer provides storage for all other boat components. |
