Cracksman Mk2 6 Metre Cruising Catamaran

This is a Newbridge Cracksman Mk2 6 metre cruising catamaran. Alledgedly sleeps 4, but their word against mine. 2 adults and two kids more realistic. I have owned her for 5 years. Sail number 201, one of the last built, in about 1991-2.

Last year she escaped from her mooring in Poole harbour and sustained a little damage. I lost the forestay, furler, and a bit of rubbing strake. The boat is dry and sound. All stainless rigging. I had stripped the inside to fit new carpet and linings but never got round to it.

Never affected the sailing! All original gelcoat, and new cushions for inside. At one stage I had a 25hp outboard on the back which gave me 18 knots but a 7.5hp will push her along at up to 10. I have a mercury 7.5 blue band long shaft to go with. (not included).

Sails really well in any wind and certainly in Poole harbour you don't really notice the tide. With only 10 inches draft, you can go anywhere. Even onto the beach. The boat is on a custom trailer (not included) and is available to view near Lymington. Everything you need to go sailing is there, just needs a little work to get going again.

Work required; 1 new chainplate u bolt (supplied) New forestay or furler. Bit of rubbing strake 3 feet long, or replace all. Antifouled last year but wouldnt hurt to do it again. Small repair to one of the locker lids where some idiot tried to break in. Jet wash, a bit green from the winter.

Includes reefing mainsail, hank on foresail and genoa. Hank on in really good condition, other two sails perfectly useable but getting on a bit. I have a replacement furler as well which I might include. Just needs the forestay making up to length. I was going to repair her for this year but have joined a sailing club and she is a bit too quick for them!

If in flotilla on a cruise I would have to keep stopping for them to catch up, so I am going for a monohull. Better pictures on request. I will take more at the weekend. Will consider offers for the lot but not unless you view first. Might deliver for fuel if not too far.

Cash only. Any questions email me. TO ALL WHO ARE ASKING: sorry about the pictures. To follow Monday PM.
