You have been asking me for a long time to show you catamarans, but it was very difficult to find a decent and inexpensive one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t talk much about the advantages and disadvantages of twinhulls in general, but let’s talk about this particular boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iroquois 30 is a pretty high\u2013quality boats. In total, about 200 hulls were produced, and, according to some sources, 160-180 of them are still being exploited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat is very seaworthy. You can go up to 15 knots, which is about 3 times more than mono-hull cruisers of a similar size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keel (not to be confused with false keel) was reinforced. The hull was repainted in 2017. A new mast from the Maxi 900, a new boom. The portholes have been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a galley with a new Dometic stove and oven on a gimbal. The cushions look good. I would update the interior a little and add coziness to the cabin, but this is a matter of taste. There is also a heater in the cabin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sails: a mainsail with a cover, a staysail on a furling and an old, but working gennaker. The sheets and halyards are brought into the cockpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Yamaha 9.9 hp outboard engine is installed on the boat. The engine was serviced annually, works well and can keep the speed of up to 6 knots even against the wind. There is a fuel tank for 60 liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the boat has an autopilot, a VHF, an awning in the cockpit, an anchor with a chain, two bathing platforms, fenders, mooring lines and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
