You are bidding on a 1975 Americat 22' Vintage Sailboat in seaworthy condition but in need of TLC & some restoration.. This is the "Minitaur" & she is no ordinary Cat!.. She was featured in a magazine in 1981 in an article titled "Ocean Passage in a Catboat", an exciting story of her passage from her homeport in New England to Marsh Harbor, Bahamas & back!.. A copy of the magazine article will be included with the boat!...
This Americat 22 was built in 1972 by George Benedict in Sayville NY from a 1927 Francis Sweiguth design.. She was built with heavy duty aluminum spars, heavy duty stainless steel rigging, she has a wide beam of 10ft which sailors in the magazine article said "She moved with the grace of a ship twice her length".. The boat is in the condition shown in the recent pictures here, it does need some work & TLC for the right Captain!... There is a Johnson 9.9hp & Evinrude 7.7hp outboard motors included with the boat as well as inflatable zodiac, cushions, cover, LED running lights, marine radio, extra fenders, anchors, lines, sails etc..
This is a fast & comfortable boat that points high with standing headroom, just a great family cruising vessel all around.. She was in her glory in the 1970's & is of a rare design!, vintage from keel to bow & in need of someone willing & worthy to take her on!, clean paperwork, she's on stands so you'll need a trailer or transport..
We will put you in touch with the donor at the end of the auction to make your pickup plans..
..PLEASE PICKUP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF WINNING..
YOU NEED TO CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY UPON WINNING THE AUCTION...
