Sun Cats and Sunday Cats / Seeking Sun Cat in Midwest

Last post by passagesfromtheheart - June 04, 2025, 03:59:32 PM

Hi! Is there anyone, here on the forum, who has a Sun Cat in the Midwest? I would like to see one up close and personal, if possible. I don't expect you to take me out for a sail, I just would like to see the boat, "in the flesh," so to speak. I'm interested in both a Picnic Cat and a Sun Cat; I have lined up an opportunity to see a Picnic Cat in person, and I'd like to do the same for a Sun Cat, if possible. If you live in a state that borders Iowa, or you are in Iowa, please reply to this thread or PM me on the forum — thanks so much!

I saw that one too, Carl — looks like a nice one! I couldn't tell from the ad if there was a trailer. I am thinking there isn't, but maybe I overlooked that in the ad.

Btw, sent you a PM — hope you rec'd OK.

Sun Cats and Sunday Cats / Sun cat motor depth

Last post by Niantic Mike - June 04, 2025, 01:20:00 PM

Does anyone have any pictures of how deep their outboard is in the water? I have a Nissan sail pro 6 long shaft which I believe is the same as the tohatsu 6.

Not mine and not associated with it in any way. This is in the same marina Al purchased his Horizon Cat. Not far from my home and I could look it over for a prospective buyer.

Thx for sharing this info!

Do you get any rainwater coming in via the deck fitting through which the anchor chain passes into the bow compartment at all?

Does your Legacy have teak eyebrows, btw? If so, any water intrusion issues? My boat has them and seems to be ok, but I have heard water gets in through these as well.

What year is your boat and where are you located? I'm in the Midwest.

You have a lot going on Chelle!  Thanks for the links.  Where do you get your C-P 25?

Haha!!!😁 Yeah, I'm keeping busy, for sure! Learning a ton and really enjoying the journey!

My 25 was previously owned by another forum member here — Rafici. He also has a Com-Pac 35 — same boat as the Sailing with Phoenix guy, Oliver, I mentioned above, actually. Rafici was selling his 25 last summer up on Lake Superior.

I've got a lot to learn with the 25 — feeling a bit nervous, but more so excited to fill my sails with more challenges to help me grow as a sailor!

I had a new forestay with a quick release attached, one inch longer than the original, which can be shortened to the original length.  Any guesses how much rake the extra inch will create, assuming perfect vertical to start with?  I could knock deep scaly rust off my math and figure it out but one of you is probably a math whiz or just knows.

It is definitely rain water getting in...I used to keep it covered in my driveway and now I have it uncovered in a marina, so somewhere is leaking from the stantions or the joint between the deck and the hull.  Water will collect in the area under the fore compartment and aft beneath the cockpit.  Not a big deal if you check after each storm and sponge it up, but annoying.
