Broker's Comments
I have never owned a cat, in fact, I have never even sailed in one, but those who have would seldom revert to a mono-hull. The advantages of level sailing, voluminous accommodation, potentially fast passage making are well known and valid. This Comanche has been ashore since last season. Well used and much loved by her previous elderly owner she's not quite a project YET, but she needs rescuing by a keen owner who will provide a few bucketfuls of TLC and put her to rights and once more to sea.
