Well you asked for it.... So here is an updated walk through of Peggy-Anne and No she's not for sale.
We cruise extensively along the East Australian Coast on our 13 meter catamaran. Join us as we explore new cruising grounds, cross bars, fix all kinds of problems, ride out rough weather and live aboard for extended periods.
We even have a playlist that gets us on other peoples boats.
We hope that our videos encourage others to get on board and experience this fantastic lifestyle. We travel a lot and edit when back at base. (better computer)

Well done. Very practical vessel, l had a 50' ketch l single handed up and down the east coast from Port Douglas to Hobart return for five years. I often wished l had an 80' classic schooner. Still looking.

What a great boat, looks really well maintained and tidy! You've got a lot of roof space, any thoughts to covering it with solar so you can do away with the genset? I suspect you even have enough space to run an auxiliary electric which would work really well in combination with the sail.

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 ай бұрын

Lots solar up there now Dude. 1.2kw. I only run the gen each week to keep it healthy. Don't need to. Not sure about elec drives yet. Thanks for the comment.

No mate....I LOOOVE my boat. Having built her she has a piece of my heart. She is nothing 5 star, but a very honest old girl.

@fxpthl 5 жыл бұрын

Outstanding tour Norm! I had no idea she has so much room! Love the “stay alive pills” comment! Can you explain the term “survey boat”? Also I have noticed that when yo-yo are at anchor there is a black ball on the winch handle, want is that all about? That rear cabin install looks very roomy & comfortable. The biggest surprise for me was the space in the forward hulls! Did not realize that is where the galley is plus another bunk. Great layout and she doesn’t look like a 19 year old boat. Very nice indeed rom, very nice. Where was Bev & Pip?

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Edward, The boat is quite roomy and the layout works well. Nothing 5 star but pretty practical. Over here, a boat "in survey" is one that can work commercially. There are a lot more regulations to comply with. Water tight compartmentation and bilge pumping to name just a few. The black ball is a day mark to indicate that you are anchored. It is one of the collision regulation rules and all boats at anchor are supposed to display the shape. Most recreational boats do not and probably aren't aware of the rule. It is very easy for me to place the ball on the winch handle and comply. The old girl is looking young again with the coat of paint I am applying and that's why Bev and Pip were not on board. The painting is nearly finished and in the next few weeks I am going to replace the timber hand rail (that I have to paint every three months) with a recycled plastic one, that should outlast me without maintenance. (There will be a video in that job for sure). After that it will be time to go and use the boat for some more adventuring. Thanks for the comments mate. Always good to hear from the US.

What a great tour of a thoroughly practical set up. I will be probably be migrating to something like this when I am too old (or tired) to pull up the sail. Do you think you could make it work in a 10M LOA catamaran package? Just solo with occasional guest.

Thanks dude. Peggy-Anne sort of evolved, but she is a great boat to live on.

@pablofernandez2894 3 ай бұрын

Hi Super interesting boat, some questions: - How was the process of getting approval the modifications on the superior part of the boat? I mean, to build the rooms, the habitacle, and so. Did you need any special permit, or an engineer to come to your boat and do a paid study? - What material did you use to build the superior structure? Steel beams? - How much did cost the original boat before the modifications? Just curious. As I said, super interesting. You ended having the boat you really wanted. I am also curious that the "big metal pole in the center of the boat for the major sail" didnt require a wire to connect to the rear of the boat to counter the forward push. Kind regards

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 3 ай бұрын

No permits required.No plans, only in my head. Just measured and built. No steel. All fibreglass over plywood. Mast is supported by swept back shrouds and forstay. Thanks for comments dude.

Hi I really enjoy the content. I'm interested in putting a sail on my powercat, I can't find any details on your channel about the sail setup. If you could either point me in the right direction or make a video with a complete guide of your setup and how you did it I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Awesome and Inspiring. Can I ask about the generator- location,size, petrol or diesel etc. Thanks

@MotorSailingforOldDudes 5 жыл бұрын

Yep David, The gen set is a Sea Wasp 6kva. It was the smallest model they produced at the time with fresh water cooling and has been very reliable. It runs on diesel and is located behind the main engine in the stbd. engine bay. Plenty of room for servicing etc. It does run at 3000 rpm and I think the the slower running ones tend to be a bit quieter. Hope this helps.
