Love all the room, looking forward to cruising. She has been a labor of love. When we got her she had been on the hard for quite a few years. Her previous owner took her to the Bahamas eight times, and we are almost ready to take her back. She makes a great race committee boat!! | ||

Catalac 8M S/V Blythe Spirits |
||
 |
 |
|
| The S/V Blythe Spirits is a Catalac 8M owned by Kim Fenton of Portsmouth, England. This boat looks to have some interesting modifications. He fabricated a swim platform and pushpit, raised and replaced the stanchions and guard wires with gates. The rudders were refurbished and finished in stainless along with the mast tabernacle base. He didn’t like the way the mainsheet bisected the cockpit so fabricated a frame and moved the mainsheet traveler so it is now above head height. All controls lead to the cockpit and then there's all that teak!! | ||

Catalac 8M is a 1985 model,
hull number 188 and is located in Oriental, NC. This boat is in perfect shape as it was stored in a boatshed
on a boat lift for many, many years. It also has the twin inboard 1GM10 option, which is pretty rare to find.

Catalac 8M S/V Cat-N-Around |
||
 |
||
| This Florida based Catalac 8M is owned by Michael Duckett, who keeps the boat at his own
dock southeast of Englewood, FL. She is truly unique as she was repowered several years ago
with more powerful 2 cylinder Yanmar diesels with "V" drives. The only boat I'm aware of to
successfully accomplish this. She cruises at 7 knots under power!!
Michael entertains the thought of selling his pride and joy from time to time...but can't find another boat which improves on his Catalac sufficiently to make the change worthwhile!! |
