Due to popular request we now offer this page for those who want to buy and sell their multihull. This web site is seen by thousands of people every month who are specifically interested in sailing catamarans, so it makes sense to advertise here and reach serious potential buyers.

A quote from someone who listed their boat with me: "He paid the price I was asking which I'm pleased about. I only had the boat advertised on your site and was getting an average of about one email a week. I originally thought it could take 2years to sell, what with the economic climate and all. Also it is an unusual boat but it does attract a lot of attention."

"These adverts clearly get viewed by enthusiasts. We needed a quick sale and this advert generated interest from 3 parties in the first week. John (Belfast)"

The cost to advertise your Woods Design is £50  and the advert will run until sold. Please use the button below to order an advert 

Or the cost is £75  if it is a non Woods Design boat. Again, the advert will run until soldPlease use the button below to order an advert

Boats wanted and gear for sale/wanted adverts can be put on my Forum pages. These adverts are free.

After purchasing an advert please email us with full details of your boat, including up to 4 photos.  Please note, you should send advert as plain text and photos as small separate jpegs. Doc and rtf files will not be accepted as they take too long to reformat. Thank you.

NOTE:  I have kept some old adverts online so you can get a guide to prices

RW writes: A sad story of a Skoota 36 boatbuild. The boat is near the Wash, east coast UK and is part complete. I have not viewed it so am unsure of it's current state. But it appears that it would not take long to get it sufficiently seaworthy so that it could be launched and towed away for final completion elsewhere

The following is text sent by the contact I have, but in the first instance please contact me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and I will forward your message.

"In 2015, work began on building a 40’ power catamaran. A purpose-built boat shed was constructed to house the project boat. Many thousands of hours were invested, along with circa £75,000 to get the boat about 75% completed. First fix for electrics and plumbing have been completed. Then tragedy stuck and very sadly, the boat builder died unexpectedly.

The project now needs a new owner, and someone who is passionate to continue this work. The project is based near Boston, and there is a full blog with hundreds of photographs on it for interested parties to see.

We have little idea how much this project is worth but want to pass it on to the right buyer at a fair price, and we are open to offers and negotiations about this. The buyer will need to immediately take over the contract for renting the boat shed in which the project is housed (£40 per week + VAT)."

You can see many photos and notes in the builders blog here https://my-new-cat.weebly.com/ The blog stops in 2018 and I assume no further work has been done since then

2008 Strider 25 for sale with asymmetric spinnaker. Hardly used, kept out of the water most of the last 3 years. In beautiful condition as it's only been sailed a handful of times. It's a 2008 boat where as most Striders are 1985-89, it has the big rig and the grp deck (like the Club) which makes it much nicer to sail or stay on than the original Strider.

Hulls beautiful condition, mast rigging/running rigging all very very good condition sails in very very good condition, large asymmetric like new recently antifouled. Ready to go sailing!
