Immaculate & spacious make this sailing cat perfect for LIVING THE DREAM! Affordable price for this loved & well cared for 11.5 meter, known as the big 'little cat'. Built in South Africa, sailed to the Caribbean, now in the Bahamas. Always owner operated, NEVER CHARTERED.The Wildcat 350 MK3 is the latest in a large range of modern catamarans designed by Schionning Boats of Australia, built in South Africa by Charter Cats SA. Wildcats are renowned for their safety, high levels of comfort, and their speed. Built with quadriaxial fibreglass and balsa core, the Wildcat 350 is a fast sports cruiser that will tack through 90°. According to the designer, she will sail at 8 - 10 knots to windward and 10 - 13 knots off the wind with a No.1 Genoa in a 15 knot breeze. Sails are by North Sails, hardware by Harken and Anderson.With 18 opening ports and hatches you will be cooled by the gentle Caribbean breeze whilst in the salon or in your cabin.The bathrooms are forward of the fore cabins, so the Wildcat Mk III suits 2 couples (1 in each hull) perfectly, or 2 couples plus up to 4 children or a captain and crew.This catamaran for sale is perfect for island hopping and Caribbean cruising, or ocean crossings. Now is your opportunity to sail the world. And the Wildcat Mk III is perfect for long range and blue-water sailing. With her rounded, streamlined hulls she has much less windage from the side. Unlike most production cats, with their high freeboards and flat sides that look and act like the side of a barn, the Wildcat allows cross winds to blow over and around her. This means she takes side winds on the sails, where they are supposed to be, not on the hull. The rounded hulls also mean that should any waves come over the bow and onto the deck they are shed quickly off every side, giving you immediate control and agility.The Wildcat Mk III offers a very comfortable use of space due to her impressive beam, with a larger interior than most 42' catamarans.Sail Quest has solar, windgen, radar, chartplotter, sonar, SSB, electric windlass, and tons more.Extended transoms offer better performance along with stack pack main, furling genoa (120% jib) and gennaker/reacher with sock. Ample cockpit, extra large settee in the salon, bright galley with ample cupboards and large chart table/workspace in the port hull.The Wildcat has almost 800 square feet of deck space: relax in the nets or lounge on the deck whilst she sails without heeling over - your own flying magic carpet!Performance and comfort in this Wildcat MK 3, she is perfect for safe ocean crossings, zip between islands or running up and down coastlines. Very seaworthy capable of sailing around the world having already sailed from South Africa to South America, North America, and the Caribbean. Easily handled with all lines led to cockpit for single handing or handling a crowd. Never chartered, and well maintained by a few perfectionists. Many upgrades with Cherrywood bulkheads, doors, trim, hardwood floors throughout. Large salon with galley up design makes it a pleasure to cook. Seamless molded counter with sink and draining board. Custom made salon table easily seats 8 - 10 and converts to bed for two adults or four children. Glass sliding entrance doors for tons of natural light and easy entrance and exit to the cockpit. 4 private queen cabins each with fan, new LED lighting, USB charging outlets, QI wireless phone charging station, alarm clock, digital thermometer, built-in bluetooth speakers, shelves and cabinets, hooks, opening portlight, large Weaver deck hatch with Sunbrella sunshade and insect screen for comfortable sleeping. 2 heads, with showers and new Jabsco toilets. Lots of storage.The hull itself is light and strong, and very elegantly designed. Due to the high strength of quadraxial glass and 3/4" balsa coring, the hull sides are so strong they feel like a solid wall. The whole boat can stand comfortably on its keels while hauled out, or when simply run up on the beach for the night. Sailing performance is excellent due to the light weight and smooth hulls, even with the moderate load of cruising equipment currently on-board. For racing, the load can be quickly reduced by removing half the house battery bank, and offloading the drogue and some ground tackle; the huge sail area makes this a formidable race boat. Catamarans have no hull speed limit; the previous owner has gotten the boat up to 18 knots with a 45 knot tail wind. The speed and the space make this an excellent cruising boat: on her ocean voyages 180-200 miles a day is a commonplace.Many extras added in spring/summer 2016. Top of the line Rutland silent wind generator and 1310 watts of solar panels keep the batteries completely charged.A perfect choice for cruising in style and/or living aboard. Owners willing to teach you how to operate all systems. Easy access to all systems and engines. Many amenities, extras, spares. Amazing opportunity to own a 'tiny house' on whichever waterfront you desire. She is light and bright and you will fall in love with her at first glance!!!Currently sailing in The Bahamas. Come see it and we'll take you out for a sail. Will teach you everything about the boat, even teach you how to sail.

-------------------- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS --------------------WHY ARE WE SELLINGWhile we love traveling and sailing, my wife's health requires us to have a single doctor that can follow her condition. There are plenty of available doctors out here, but she needs continuing care that a new doctor each week just can't provide.REGISTRATION & TAXESSail Quest is Canadian federally registered.YOU ARE CANADIAN: If you keep it out of Canada there are no taxes on the sale. This is perfectly legal. (there's a $250 registration transfer fee)YOU ARE AMERICAN: If you keep the it out of US there should not be any taxes, just your Coast Guard registration. But you have to verify this with your local state/federal agencies. You can also register this boat in any other country which will reduce or eliminate any taxes.I HAVE KIDSGood!This was my dream for a long time, but I waited until my kids were older and left home. That was a mistake. I think my kids missed out on an amazing adventure. They would have had such an experience if they had traveled around seeing the world. And home-schooling kids is a lot easier than most people think.I never though about home-schooling until we moved out of Toronto. We moved to a small rural area where the local school had promised full care for my 4 kids, but then couldn't deliver. After fighting with them for 2 months we decided to invest our energies into our kids instead of fighting the school. We pulled them and home schooled. They were in grades 8, 6, 5, and 2. School work took only an hour or two each day, and at the age of 16 they had finished their high school (with over 80% in EVERY class), and all enrolled at University. To be precise, Becky, our youngest, finished her high school at the age of 14, when her peers would be STARTING high school. They were, in fact, the youngest students to ever enroll at Laurentian University (Sudbury, Ontario). And they all did great, better than those who had gone through the public schools.You will find many other families with kids aboard. Smart, well-behaved kids. Kids who have seen real poverty on some islands. Kids who are grateful for what they have, and know they need to EARN a living, not have it spoon-fed to them. Kids who are active, outgoing, and fit. Kids who would rather go swimming than play a video game about swimming.EXPERIENCEThe boat is easy to learn on and very forgiving.We've had power boats (14' to 24') for years but never sail boats. In fact when I bought this boat my TOTAL sailing experience was a few hours in a 10' skiff one afternoon at Scout Camp with my kids 15 years earlier.I did a lot of reading (Sailing for Dummies, etc.), and when we bought this we started by motoring. Then we put out the Genoa (the sail on the front) because it's an easy sail to put in and out and an easy one to learn. Then we started using the main as well. Finally after we got to the Bahamas we started using the spinnaker (the big colourful light wind sail).TRAININGWe could give you a week of training for no cost (no guarantee how often we will get out, that is weather dependent, but we will get out a few times).WHAT SKILLS ARE NEEDEDJack of all trades is perfect.Basic mechanical skills, plumbing, wiring and electrical knowledge, these things will take you anywhere. If you are good with your hands it will help a lot. And even if you don't know it now, you soon will.  :)The more you can do on your own, the better you will be.What if you are all thumbs? Then when things go wrong, you will have to hire someone to fix it. Things will go wrong. You have a very complicated piece of machinery, made as light as possible. But proper maintenance and replacing worn parts before they break will make things easy (and a lot cheaper).CAN IT BE SAILED SINGLE-HANDEDIt can be easily sailed single-handed. All lines are led to the (sheltered) cockpit, where there are two large winches. You should not have to go out on deck to do pretty much anything except drop the anchor (and you can upgrade by putting an anchor control in the cockpit if you wanted too).IS IT GOOD FOR ISLAND HOPPING?It's a perfect boat for Caribbean island hoping. And if you ever decide to venture further, the Wildcat is a real offshore boat. We have her fully set up for live-aboard cruising. While most "cruise ready" boats are good for a few days or a week out, this boat can sustain herself endlessly (well, you will need food and fuel).WHY A CATAMARANComfort, safety, convenience, comfort, oh and safety.CAN YOU BEACH THIS BOAT?Click this (ridiculously long) link to view on Google Maps.
DOES IT HAVE ACNo, don't need it.We spent a summer in north Florida on the boat, and we needed AC there. We used a portable window unit.  We gave it away once we arrived in the Bahamas.Here (and through the rest of the Caribbean), there is always a cool breeze. You just don't need AC.KNOWN ISSUESThere is an area of delamination on the port hull. It is about 10cm x 15cm, and about 40cm above the water line. It has not grown or changed in over a year. Our surveyor (who sounded the entire hull) said to get it fixed whenever the boat is out of the water next.The non-slip on the deck needs repainting.The bottom needs new anti-fouling soon.The boat needs a polish & wax.We were going to get all this done when we pulled the boat this summer in Guatemala.MORE INFORMATIONThere is considerable info if you follow these links.Feel free to look around our website while you are there.For another neat look at Sail Quest, in Google Earth, go to 26°30'30.05"N, 78°37'46.59"W and zoom in to an altitude of 10 metres. That's us enjoying the afternoon anchored out with our tiki-raft deployed.PAYMENT TERMSDeposit $2,000: We will accept Paypal, Interac e-Transfer, Cash, Bank Transfer/WireFull Payment: Bank Transfer/Wire
