WE HAVE JUST PURCHASED THIS CATAMARAN AND WILL BE HAVING 4 LEGS IN ALL. PERTH TO SYDNEY, SYDNEY TO BRISBANE, BRISBANE TO NEW CALEDONIA, NEW CAL TO OUR HOME PORT OF SAVUSAVU FIJI. STARTING LOCATION - MANDURAH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 2019 Peter Kerr 51' Lizard | Cat A Van Featuring two master cabins with walk around beds, two en-suite and two extra guest cabins, this aluminum cruising catamaran is a great vessel to live aboard or cruise the coast in comfort with family and friends. Designed by Peter Kerr, and built in Western Australia with the intention of cruising the Kimberlies and beyond, a change of circumstances for the owners means they are selling Cat A Van after four trips north. The galley with electric stove and microwave, has ample storage, fridge and freezer space, with huge additional fridge/freezer space in the cockpit catering for those long journeys and successful fishing trips. A water maker, solar panels and lithium house batteries making living off grid a breeze. The light and spacious open plan saloon and galley opens onto the large cockpit through double glass doors. A big hard top covers the helm and generous cockpit area and custom pull down screens enclose the space if desired. The aluminum dinghy with Honda 20Hp outboard is easily launched from an electronic platform. Mechanically she is in great shape, with low hours on her two 75Hp Volvo Penta engines with saildrives, serviced in March 2024. There is plenty of life left in the 2020 sails and rigging for her new owners to enjoy.
James is currently based in SAVUSAVU, Fiji
