My wandering eye...sailing cats and flybridges

Baker

Funny, my wandering eye was also wandering that way today. One hangup with sail cats for me has been that most have sail drives (they scare me) and the lack of good engine space, but I think I found one today that's ideal. It's a Leopard 47 with 100hp Yanmars and shaft drives. Cruises at 8.5 knots or 10 knots if you have to run away from something (storm, mad women, police, etc). It's been extensively updated with new sails, rigging, almost everything. Doesn't have the flying bridge however.

But they ain't cheap, which is another problem I have.
