S/V Moggy is a 1979 Catalac 8m catamaran, for sale by owner. She’s been owned for the last 13 years by a knowledgeable, liveaboard couple, who have extensively improved & refurbished her.
Some of the items include; new sails, all new running rigging, complete 12v system rewire, solar panels, Dyneema standing rigging & lifelines, interior upgrades, & the list goes on. This boat truly needs nothing, is in excellent condition, & ready to take you anywhere.
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.
We’ve just cruised Moggy from Texas & are now sailing the Florida west coast. We are available to show her anytime. We are getting older now & it’s time to pass her on to someone who will love & care for her as much as we have.
