Broker's Comments

This 62ft aluminium Catamaran comes to the books having spent the last 10 years within a fleet of yachts used by a sail training charity dedicated to enabling young people aged to fulfil their life potential through experiences at sea and by breaking down the barriers they face. Was coded to MCA Cat 2, expired Jan 2020.

The yacht itself is easy to walk around on deck with a very big area in the cockpit. Internally a large airy seating area she feels spacious down below. There are four cabins with two comfy bunks in each one. There are four toilets (heads) and a kitchen (galley).

She could possibly to with a little mini refit to make her a great live aboard.

These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.

Hi Eric, thank you for your message I have emailed you directly.

I have tried to research the building of this boat by Derecktor .

On their website they have no record of a Catamaran having been built in 1964 or 1965 of any design.

The only record they show is for a 52' Aluminum Catamaran having been built in 1963 under the Name " Stranger " for an Owner by the sir name of "Graham".

So what Documentation or Build Plates are there to support the claim of Buidler?

Is this the same boat, and if so who did the engineering & retrofit or lengthening??

If Derecktor was not the Builder who was?

Who was the Original Designer?
