Pre-owned boats

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

SOLD from this advert!!! Strider Catamaran with larger rig

I have to sell the boat on health grounds and dearth of crew. I bought the hulls from Palamos Boatbuild in 1989 then fitted them out as a Turbo and launched 1990. The sails are from the Gwahir "Rush Rush" and are still serviceable for cruising. There is a 4 horse Yamaha in excellent condition. New Z spar cruising mast fitted 1996. Net & trampoline need replacing.

The boat has never been raced but cruised, gently and comfortably, in the Irish Sea, Howth, IoM, Barmouth, and round the coast of Anglesey. The boat is tidy and presently laid up at Gallows Point, North Wales . My mooring License is paid up for the year.
