Her History
Stray Cat III is a multiple award-winning design by Marc Lombard. Built by Jeantot Marine in 1992, she has three Atlantic crossings and has sailed throughout Europe. She has been in crewed charter service in the Virgin Islands, Bahamas, Florida, and New England.

Stray Cat underwent extensive refit and renovation during 2001-2004 that included new sails, bimini top, cockpit seating, headliners throughout, lighting, granite surfaces in the galley, salon, 2 forward heads, and aft cabin vanities. All four heads were glassed then finished in Awlgrip and equipped with electric toilets.

A new ceramic 3-burner stove top and microwave/convection oven were installed in the galley to finish out her gourmet food capabilities. A large double stainless steel sink with saltwater pump, pure water system, and brushed stainless steel splash backs were also fitted.

The salon configuration was changed to improve space and walk through. The sole was replaced as were the dining table and upholstery.

The cockpit floor was Awl gripped and sun screens were zipper-fitted to the bimini. There were many more items and projects that Captain Mark completed, but they were somewhat routine or otherwise uninteresting to list here.

Many things were learned along the way - descriptive adjectives for one, and that it's a good idea to  double your cost and time estimates. Mark figured one year and $40,000... but it was three and $85,000.

Comfort and Safety
Stray Cat has the catamaran advantage of no heeling or rolling, that means more comfort underway. Her shallow draft allows you to experience those secluded beaches first hand. You won't believe the interior space, its about the same as a 65' monohull.
