Spirit of Catherine is a very well set up blue-water crusing catamaran and a great example of the very successful Lagoon 42 model.
Delivered new in Les Sables-d'Olonne by Vicsail in 2016, her experienced owners have sailed Spirit of Catherine all over the world including four Atlantic crossings, two Pacific crossings, the Arc Race, Trans Atlantic Race and Arc World Rally, of which Spirit of Catherine won five individual legs!
As such she is well set up and ready to go for her next adventurous owners and available in North Queensland! Australian registered and duty/ tax paid in Australia, it's the perfect platform for a Pacific getaway!
The boat has been meticulously maintained, updated and remains incredibly reliable and ready for all conditions.
Inspections welcome in Townsville, Queensland.
