2009 Catalina No Engine- Includes Engine Davits, Catalina Aero 20These two Catalina Aero 20's are available for sale. We will consider a sale of one or both. These are super unique, fast, and easy to sail with a group of sailors or single handedly. The boats were purchased brand new in 2009 and have been lightly sailed since. They are in top-notch condition with very very very minor scratches on the hull. It's almost if they never have been used. The decks and cockpits are super clean. The Aerorig is a unique well balanced rig built for safety, strength, and stability. These two vessels will make great beginner sailors or could be great use to a foundation or association looking to teach people to sail or race. HistoryThese two boats were purchased by an Annapolis foundation called CRAB and used to teach sailing in the Chesapeake Bay to disabled individuals. They were purchased brand new by the late founder in 2009 and have been lightly used. The sale of these vessels will be a major contributor to the foundations efforts to continue to offer disabled individuals and wounded veterans an opportunity to enjoy the relaxing luxury and beauty that Chesapeake Bay offers! Aerorig An Aerorig is made up of a mast, a main boom and a fore-boom. The mast is totally unstayed and is mounted in two bearings one on the bottom of the hull and one in the deck. These allow the mast, and therefore the whole rig, to rotate freely. The jib is completely self-tacking and mounted on a traveller on the mast. As long as more sail is set behind the mast than in front of it, the Aerorig will weathercock into wind if left to its own devices. The whole rig can therefore be controlled and the sail angle set by restricting the angle of rotation using a single mainsheet. A single-handed-operation with electric drum-winches for control. This is amazingly easy to manage and trim compared with a conventional rig. Furthermore, the mainsheet loading is only about one third of that on an equivalent stayed rig because the rotational force of the jib offsets that of the mainsail hence a balanced rig. Shorthanded passage making is so easy, the low sheet loads are so much safer with children on board, an Aerorig has no standing rigging to maintain, the visibility and space on deck are improved, sailing on a dead run is no longer a dangerous nightmare, jibing an Aerorig is a breeze, short tacking to windward up a narrow channel is effortless.Each vessel is for sale for $10,500 OBO. $10500, 3015809107
