Description: |
Third owner of "Al-E-Cat" (original name) since 1995. This boat spent its first 10 years on the fresh water of Lake Michigan. Second owner sailed her in the Shrewsbury and Navesink rivers in New Jersey, and I have sailed her in the Barnegat Bay from the Metedekonk River at the northern end to points south as far as Barnegat lighthouse. The vast majority of my sails were day sails in the bay between the Seaside Bridge and the Mantoloking Bridge. On average I sailed her 8 to 10 times a season. She's a wonderful shallow water daysailer with a roomy cockpit and a sweet little cabin down below. She is currently in indoor storage for teak refinishing and other costmetics.
I did have the deck and cabin exterior painted by David Beaton & Sons in 2022. However, the hull has some significant scratches on the starboard side from Superstorm Sandy (no she did not sink or have any structural damage - she's build like a brick outhouse!) and port side also needs some cosmetic gelcoat repair and the entire hull really could use new paint to make her shine again. She is sound and watertight and can be launched and sailed as is, but she's worth the TLC.
