The Catalac 9 Metre is a spacious family cruising catamaran with accommodation for up to four in three separate cabins.  This particular example benefits from twin inboard Beta Marine 13hp diesels on sail drives, which have been recently trialled, giving excellent manoeuvrability.

Good opportunity to acquire a classic catamaran, recently reduced to reflect some osmosis issues and the need for a little tidying and finishing off.  Viewing strictly by appointment through Howard Ford Marine Sales.
