Overview
1995 St. Francis 43 Sailing Catamaran – Bluewater Cruiser – $189,000
Location: Georgetown, South Carolina
Vessel Name: Zing
Description:
Zing is a 1995 St. Francis 43 catamaran — a proven bluewater cruiser built in South Africa by a world-renowned builder. She has recently returned from wintering in South Florida and is capable of sailing away immediately.
While the interior could use some cosmetic updates, the important systems are already in place: her hull and decks are solid, engines run strong, and her sails and rigging are in very good condition. This is an excellent opportunity to own a capable offshore catamaran under $200K and upgrade her to your taste over time.
Current owner has enjoyed Zing for the past four years and is selling due to health reasons. All reasonable offers are encouraged.
