Broker's Comments

Richard Woods has been designing sailing and power multihulls for over 40 years. Based in the UK, Woods Designs specialises in the design of multihulls for both home and professional builders. Founded in 1981 they now boast possibly the most comprehensive range of catamaran designs in the world. Nearly 3000 plans and over 200 production catamarans have now been sold. Boats are sailing all over the world. Cruisers have made many comfortable ocean crossings in complete safety while the number of trophies won is testament to the speed of the racing designs.

The Skua is a 9m trailable coastal cruiser/racer and is is the largest boat that can be sensibly demounted and towed behind a car and fits inside a 40ft container.

With round bilge hulls, dagger-boards, kick-up semi-balanced rudders and a performance rig, Skua was designed for those who want a larger version of the micro multihulls like Strider. Basically still a 4 berth, the hulls are larger enough to have 'snug doubles' if required. With a greater loading capacity and offshore capability than a micro, Skua can also be considered the minimum size for the longer coastal races.

This one has been recently fully stripped back and modified to improve stiffness and performance. Strip planked cedar construction allows for a super lightweight build.

The current owner has upgraded the following:
new aluminium beams, carbon central pod for engine housing and storage, carbon composite compression strut and prodder, new nets, new squabs, new mainsail and self tacking jib by GP Sails. Step up transom for easy access on and off dock or to a tender. Transom hung rudders on carbon gantries, new deck hatches, Dyneema rigging, all presented in good, clean order.

The mast can be raised/lowered very easily for towing, storage or shipping..
