"JUNIPER'S LEGACY"

BIG Price Reduction!

1986 Catalac 9m

 Just returned from a 3 month sail in the Bahamas and sailed to Hilton Head SC. She is ready to go with all the upgrades and conveniences of a well equipped catamaran! Catalac is known to be one of the safest catamarans built. Made in England by Tom Lack. She has a shallow draft 2'6" with the stability of a bigger cat, allowing for agility in the shallow areas of the Bahamas. The standing room in this compact cat is an unbelievable 6'3" with three cabins for privacy, a comfortable home away from home. This 9m sailing catamaran is powered additionally by two Yanmar 1GM10 diesel motors both which have been rebuilt recently. The starboard 1.5 years ago and port 3 years ago. Very low hours on them since. These Yanmars are very fuel efficient using only 1 liter per hour of fuel. Recent upgrades include: New electronics Garmin 9" gps, Raymarine auto pilot, AIS transmitting and receiving, wifi extender and cell booster all in 2021. Main sail re-refined by Sail Care in 2021. The sail inventory would include 1) main,1) jib,2) genoa,1) spinnaker; as well as new stackpack sail cover. New drive train includes all new shafts, cutlass bearing stanchions, cutlass bearings, couplings, packing, everything balanced and installed by the Prop Shop, Key West FL. with the Three blade props  Boat is equipped with two 25 gallon fresh water tanks and two 23 gallon fuel tanks: as well as a Natures head compost toilet. Fresh and salt water wash down outlets on swim deck. New 200 watt solar panels and 200 Amp hour lithium battery; as well as new start batteries. Pressurized water in head and outside shower, as well as new foot pump for kitchen sink. New bottom paint 2021 New cushions and reupholstered in 2021 updated to include curtains. In addition two 12 volt/ 110 volt coolers/ freezers chest type. Comes complete ready to sail away with life vests safety harnesses fully furnished galley.

1987 Catalac 12M

• Description

Seller's Description

S/V Angel Louise is an actively cruising 1987 Catalac 12M now in Vero Beach for sale by owner. It is not a happy day for us to list our pride & joy. USSV Angel Louise is the 2nd to last Catalac 12 Meter (41 foot) Catamaran built by the Tom Lack family in England and she’s the first vessel in world history to do both the American & European Great Loops along with 2 double handed Atlantic crossings & cruising to 49 countries on shores of 5 continents. Home Port Cruz Bay and currently cruising from FL to Maine w/ stops along the way. Temporarily at New Bern, NC.

We will allow her to be bought out from under us in this 13th year of continuous cruising.

S/V Angel Louise was built for the North Sea and all the worlds oceans - the Catalac Catamaran is strong but definitely not the fastest catamaran ever built. She is not a beauty queen but will see harbors and countries of the world lighter built pricier dock queens never get to. These British built boats were built for safety when early cats had flipped in high winds. The builder is reputed to have offered £20,000 pounds sterling if anyone could get a keel out of the water - many tried but no one could do it.

Powered by two relatively new - 37hp Yanmar 3JH5e engines, with a straight shaft to her 3 bladed props. Raymarine networked electronics, AIS & Radar, and autopilot connected to both inside and outside helms. 2 separate VHFs (1 with back-up passive AIS). Has large efficient refrigeration /freezer system, 3 burner stove & oven. Large 23” LED TV with connections to stream video. HiFi Sound system to all cabins & cockpit.

Interior layout is functional - no fiberglass inside. Walk straight thru vessel - only 2 small steps to lower levels & private cabins access. Large light interior cabin.

She has a full set of sails. Both front furling & upgraded behind the mast FACNOR system for safe in cockpit sailing installed by Mack Sails. Additionally, we have supplied Angel Louise with an alternate 2nd replacement mast so she is interchangeably able to be fitted & used alternately as a Sailing Cat or as a Power Cat. (Her strong 3 cyl Yanmar diesels propel her faster than sails in most conditions). Sailing without stressing Angel Louise we regularly easily achieve 125-130 mile days sailing in the North Atlantic.

Electric head starboard and pvc connections to holding tank, with connected Raritan hold & treat type 1 MSD. 4 Large sea-worthy hatches open forward for great ventilation. Canvass covers for shade when at anchor. Equipped with 4 anchors - Spade, Bruce & 2 Fortresses plus chain.

Davron Dinghy-tow system and large AB aluminum RIB w/ 15 hp Yamaha 2 cycle OB motor are optional.

This vessel had extensively upgraded epoxy treatment years ago to protect hull from blistering. Safe high stainless rails all around vessel. Last surveyed for insurance company in 2014 and valued at $140,000 at that time. Accepted & insurance coverage by Pantaenius Insurance by us. We are willing to discount our price for new owner’s sweat equity updating with varnish & ongoing maintenance. Angel Louise is a big strong vessel that is an active cruiser, not a dock queen.

House power supplied from 8 Group 31 AGM batteries, which are maintained by 5 rail mounted solar panels and a large D-400 wind generator.

We have tried to price her fairly with a discount so she can go immediately to a new owner without delay. We are willing to talk. We continue to cruise this strong vessel. Full & additional details on request. We are at Vero Beach municipal marina as of March 2020, cruising slowly North up the North Atlantic Ocean coast.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
