S/V Karayato is a 2004 TRT 1200, for sale by owner. She is a Norwegian designed performance catamaran.
We (a family of five) have sailed her from the Mediterranean seas to the Caribbean islands. We are live aboard owners, so we have set up our home functional, practical and kept her in a good condition. Due to change in plans we are now selling her. We plan to stay in the Caribbean/ Bahamas area until mid June. Currently, we are in Guadeloupe, but are on our way to the Bahamas.
We are the second owners of Karayato.
This boat was modified at the yard by the previous owner to be more suitable as a liveaboard than the original TRT 1200 design. The bridge deck is lowered to make room for a spacious deck house with gally, a sofa that sits eight and a navigation station. She is still faster and tacking higher than most catamarans and cruising monohulls. The increased forces on the lowered bridge deck have been calculated and addressed by one of the boats naval architects. And it is strengthened in accordance to the IOS standard.
The mast and rig is from 2013. The furling system, genoa and mainsail were bought new in 2019 and the jib is from 2022. Interior built and fitted by a professional Norwegian boat interior factory. Karayato is quick, strong and a lot of fun to sail.
She has two Lombardini 18hp engines with sail drives. One of the engines is new the other have 2500 hours.
