Discover the Joy of Sailing
All boats are a compromise, but Dazcat’s tick more boxes than most. Very high build quality, enjoyable sailing, and space and comfort seen only on much larger boats, Dazcat’s have it all.
Want to cruise up to a shallow anchorage and swim off the back? Race the Fastnet? Cross the Atlantic? Dazcat’s have achieved it.
They are few and far between, and you may never have heard of them. On average, the Multihull Centre have launched one a year for the last 30 years. They specialise in the build and refit of multihulls and custom projects, and enormously respected internationally for their expertise.
The Dazcat 1195 utilises the same hull as their two previous boats, Drama Queen (now Bare Necessities) and Dazzle, though with a more spacious bridgedeck. The first Dazcat 1195, Suenos, was launched in 2010 for a very experience multihull owner, who had extensive input into the design. Spirit of Freedom followed in 2011 for another experienced multihull owner who family trade was boat building, and the internals were fitted out to suit comfortable cruising. Rip van Winkle was built for an owner based in the USA, and the final two, Rock Steady and Merlin are in France.
In 2017 Dazcat replaced the 1195 with the 1295, with several of these amazing machines built since. Incredible as they are, with a price tag in excess of £1M they are out of reach of most of us.
Spirit of Freedom offers the very rare chance to own one of these extraordinary boats at a very reasonable price.
Why a Dazcat?
We have owned Spirit of Freedom for three years, and as previous dinghy and monohull sailors, but now with a small children, have found her the perfect boat to satisfy our sailing requirements whilst also being an ideal platform for family adventures. We have cruised her extensively around the Solent, South Coast and Channel, and found her perfect to sail solo, with friends, and most of all, with family on board, be they very young (now 8 and 5) or somewhat more ‘mature’!
She has been taken back to the Multihull Centre in Millbrook for extensive works to be completed over the past winters, and is now berthed in Thornham for sale.
Why are will selling? To buy another 1195! Our longer term plans were for an Atlantic Circuit in 4 years time, when the children would be old enough to participate. When the option to purchase the Dazcat 1195 based in the US became available we jumped at the chance. We now have the opportunity to complete the ‘difficult’ leg well in advance of our previous plans so we are better prepared for our next crossing. Such is our confidence with our Dazcat 1195 we are happy to commit to another and sail her back across the Atlantic.
