Cat Sass is Currently Located in Beautiful Salinas Puerto Rico. She has been with the same owners for over 30 years and its finally time to let this beautiful floating home go to a new owner, she is listed for $182,000 but all resonable offers are welcome. Cat Sass is an extremely strongly built boat with very solid design and rigging layout. She is very unique with her long narrow hulls and will point to wind very well. Another key feature about her rigging is the running back stays. Different then newer catamarans she is rigged more similarly to a Monohull. Another unique design feature on this vessel is her single diesel engine design.
