| From the owner ~ General description: | |||
| A 28’ Tanenui built in B.S.
1088 marine ply by the previous owner between 1988 and 1992. All original
building plans are included in this sale. This boat was built exactly to
plan. It has been sheathed to the waterline only. A rubbing strip has been
added to the keel after strengthening with no fixings other than epoxy
ensuring good ability to take the ground without damage to sheathing. Built with epoxy, bronze ring nails fixing all 9mm marine plywood panelling and solid brass screws only where buried beneath the skin. The whole structure is epoxy coated: three clear coats, sheathing and additional three coats before painting. Galvanised bolts through Keruing laminated beams extracted and checked during 03/04 winter layup. Paint quality – International Toplac and Blakes – now high grade due to progressive sanding and fairing. Rudders lashed as per Hanneke (designer) advised. |
Reinforced mahogany
gunwale and capping.
Keruing beams soaked in linseed oil and
re-coated every 3-4 months with teak oil. Varnished mahogany tillers and
tiller bar (moved aft for adjustable rig to rotate outboard).
The
hulls are insulated throughout to above the water line with removable panels
of oak stained 4mm ply on 8mm foam |

| Comment from last owner: | |||
| I rigged for a single handed adventurer. However, it accommodates 4 persons comfortably and has cruised extensively on the Irish Sea, off Northern Ireland, the Clyde and the Western Isles of Scotland. The previous owner and builder took it through the French canals for a season in the Med. It has been the perfect platform for a young family to learn sailing, as well as a marine research vessel and exploring tidal estuaries inaccessible to other boats. It can be fast. It can withstand heavy seas. | |||
| Comment from current owner: We used the Cat for our business. We and our clients love the boat. We had some great adventures with it. We had children steering the boat, pregnant woman on board as well as breast feeding mothers, blind dogs, amateur sailors, ... the list is long. This boat is ideal for families, individuals or a business venture. We are moving abroad and hoping for a quick sale. | |||
