Introducing the Packet Cat, a fantastic chance to acquire a boat that is easily restorable at a reasonable price. Following damage to her rig during Hurricane Ian while on the hard, the owner intended to restore her for cruising, but family circumstances have led to her being listed for sale in her current AS IS condition. As the broker, I envision her potential either as a Trawler Cat or by reassembling her rig. This vessel comes equipped with updated electronics and maintains the robust features typical of these reliable cats. While her sails, mast, roller furling boom, and headsail furling system are in operational condition, they are not currently stepped or rigged.
The Packet Cat 35 model is notable for its innovative blend of multihull stability and the sturdy construction and luxurious amenities found in the acclaimed Island Packet line designed by Bob Johnson. Cattywampus features two private double staterooms, each with its own head and shower, and a spacious salon/main cabin that includes a dinette and galley, with the dinette easily converting into a double berth.
Reportedly, she remained dry during Hurricane Ian and shows no signs of water damage or musty odors. Please note that her interior is currently cluttered; contact me for interior photos.
Additional Features: Schaefer Marine jib roller furling, Leisure Furl boom furling, Harken electric halyard winch, two jib winches, multiple sails including main, jenny, and spinnaker in launcher sleeve, main sheet winch, dodger/bimini combo, cockpit cushions, Spade anchor with chain to nylon rope, Bulwagga anchor with all-chain rode, dinghy davit system, vented LPG tank in deck locker, fresh water deck wash down pump, and fresh water shower in the cockpit.
Powering her are twin Yanmar 3GM30 engines with under 2000 hours, equipped with Racor fuel filters, two 4D batteries, one 27 (engine start) battery, and a Xantrex Freedom Inverter Charger with remote panel. The unique emergency tank of 30 gallons feeds the port engine while refilling the main tank via its return line.
Other amenities include a propane stove with oven, microwave, Adler Barbour refrigerated icebox, electric marine toilet in the starboard head, manual head in the port, Marine Air A/C with heat, and a water heater. Navigation is made easy with a Garmin chart plotter, wind indicator (speed & direction), depth sounder & boat speed, and autopilot.
The sloop sail plan features a roller furling fully-battened mainsail and genoa, providing simplicity without compromising performance. The hull is constructed to meet or exceed demanding ABS structural standards, crafted from solid biaxial roving with an internal stringer and grid system for superior impact and puncture resistance while maintaining a moderate weight for long-term integrity. The integrally molded keels and skeg-mounted rudders allow for beaching, and foam-filled, watertight chambers enhance offshore safety. The deck laminates are engineered using Island Packet's exclusive PolyCore system for high strength and reduced weight.
