Amazon 28 Catamaran for sale in Southampton, UK - Bill O'brien design.We have decided to sell our beloved catamaran as we have had so much fun with her, we are going to get something similar, but in the Med. the previous owners took her down the French Canals, so much of the equipment is for long stays away. We have found her very comfortable (even for a family of 5!)She is in generally great condition (especially considering hwe age) but there are a few cosmetic bits which we will try and finish over the next week.HULL: The hull is fiberglass, not wood and the coach house is also fiberglass. Hulls are sound, but need antifouling. This was done last year. Structurally very sound, one small repair needed to the port hull bow. All windows have been re-sealed to prevent moisture ingress.ENGINES: Nanni branded engines have been serviced less than 6 months ago, both running well and under 8 years old. Diesel inboards, 10hp each.SAILS  / RIGGING:
Genoa and Mainsail less than 5 years old, good condition,
Mizzen older buy still in good condition.
