2002 Wildcat built in South Africa.
(Same model as Jaguar36)
Charter version with 4bed 2bath, fully solar powered 100% self-sufficient
(Google "solar harvest catamaran") same model boat, bigger budget 😆
Originally powered by 2x 2cylinder 18hp diesel engines, with saildrives.
She has been refit with 20kw brushless motors, on straight shafts⚡️⚡️⚡️
There is alot of work done to this boat including
•bulkheads rebuilt/reinforced
•custom dynema standing rigging
•saildrives deleted
•prop shafts fiberglassed in place
•custom fabricated struts
•brand new propeller, shafts, motor mounts
•'ThunderStruck' motor kit installed
•custom made aluminum super structure for the solar, also gave us waist hight 360° railings (No more knee-high "life lines" making the boat 10x safer for animals/kids)
•safty netting all the way around
•6,600w of solar
•20kwh of batteries
•10kw sine inverter
•fully electric gally
•DC a/c units
•new bottom job
Still on the to-do list
•the interior needs some tlc(headliners, paint, trim, floors)
•double or triple the battery bank (40-60kwh) we have 400ah @ 51v
•raise the boom,,, she is currently sailable but the boom is limited in its travel currently. Jib and spinnaker work well
•OR add a furling main sail (reduce shade on the solar panels,,, i added a picture for example)
•add rainwater collection from the panels
Electronics are dated, (early 2000s raymarine) but functional, including
•Depth finder
•Wind instrument
•E80 chart plotter
•Raymarine radar
•autopilot
•AIS
There is estimated 10-20k of work needed to make the boat 100% (mostly cosmetics)
This is not the boat for everyone, but to the right buyer it would be an amazing opportunity to go off grid full time.
Our loss your gain type of situation
We have well over $120k invested
