S/V Swan VII is a Lake Worth based 1986 Catalac 8M For Sale By Owner. This owner requires financial settlement only. No trades.

RARE FIND!

The Catalac 8m pocket cruiser was just put back in the water after cleaning and painting the hull and is ready for a new owner. Comfortable, very solid, a lot of room for the size! Easily accessible for viewing.

The Catalac 8M is a pocket cruising catamaran which has a solid reputation for quality, strength and durability. Many of the boats found in North America today, were sailed there from Great Britain. The Catalac 8M, although classified as a pocket cruiser was designed with blue water sailing in mind. Twin diesel models can easily motor almost 1000 kilometers without refueling. The 70 amps of charging and 70 gallons of stock water tanks in the Catalac 8M and 9M make even these smaller boats terrific coastal cruisers. Constructed with solid fiberglass hulls, these are quality boats which were built like battleships.

Chuck Kanter calls them one of the catamaran brands that live on through the decades. The Catalac 8M is masthead rigged with a relatively short, but thick mast. As with all boats in the Catalac production lineup, this contributes to a stable boat with a low center of effort. No Catalac has ever been known to fly a hull under any circumstances. Please see our information page for more info.
