Review of Sol Cat 18

Basic specs..

The hull is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The Sol Cat 18 is equipped with a fractional rig. A fractional rig has smaller headsails which make tacking easier, which is an advantage for cruisers and racers, of course. The downside is that having the wind from behind often requires a genaker or a spinnaker for optimal speed.

DaggerBoard

The Sol Cat 18 is equipped with a daggerboard keel. A daggerboard is a lifting keel that can be lowered and raised, allowing the boat to enter shallow waters as well.

The boat can sail close to the beach as the draft is just 0.12 - 0.22 meter (0.39 - 0.69 ft) dependent of the load.

Boats for Sale

41' maine cat 41 catamaran catamaran.

ARCHIVED: This is a previously listed vessel and is no longer offered for sale If you would like assistance locating a similar vessel, Click Here to contact the listing broker.

Over the years, we've loved Maine Cat 41's for their open bridgedeck with hard top and full enclosure for great ventilation, excellent visibility and the ability to close it all up for weather.

Nandu is Hull # 23 and was launched in September 2016 and may be the best equipped MC 41 ever launched by the factory.

She's just taken a $40,000 price reduction and is now available for $499,900.

MC 41's exhibit a good turn of speed and generally outsail the basic charter cats we've become accustomed to.

She's got twin diesel engines, Linear Drive Autopilot, Color GPS chartplotter, radar, VHF and watermaker. She has a bowsprit to run a Screecher Sail. She has Mackpack Mainsail with Lazy Jacks. Great ground tackle, excellent power system including large solar panel array, electric windlass and she's even got an electric winch, for easy and short handed sailing.

She points high when going to windward with her twin daggerboards down and flies on a broad reach with boards up.

Her interior accommodations are excellent with the starboard hull as owner's suite with massive owners berth, and port hull has a well equipped galley with an equally large VIP berth. She has two composting heads plus crew berth.

If you are looking for a super well equipped and easy to sail shallow draft vessel with a good turn of speed that will be perfect for warm weather sailing and can handle the cooler waters of Maine and beyond once the salon is enclosed, you owe it to your self to check out our 2016 Maine Cat 41 here in sunny Florida.

The Maine Cat 41 is the only 41 foot production-built cruising catamaran in the world that provides outstanding sailing and motoring performance, huge payload capacity (7200 pounds) and a unique open bridgedeck design that transforms the entire bridgedeck area into a protected pilothouse.

"My first goal was to make the 41 a good sailboat.�  The average 40-footer on the market today has hulls with length-to-beam ratios that are about 8:1. Our ratio is 10.5:1. Because sheâ��s finer, she has reduced wetted surface and is thus more easily driven."

Maine Cat boats have no liners or structural grids. There�s no wood in them, not in bulkheads or decks. The only wood is in the doors and interior trim. All assemblies are vacuum-bagged Corecell composites. According to Vermeulen, a Maine Cat 41 equipped to cruise weighs 14,000 pounds, which allows for a realistic cruising payload before it reaches its design displacement of 19,200 pounds.
