Vessel Description
Once in a "Blue Moon" a quality built vessel comes along on the used brokerage market that creates excitement amongst the cruising crowd. "SEA CAT" is a fine example of such a boat! Built to exacting specifications by Tillotson-Pearson of Rhode Island, this recently repowered and upgraded cruiser represents a terrific value for the novice as well as for the seasoned sailor. And she is offered at a bargain price for the value received! New diesel engine, new sails by Mainland and recent preparation for extended cruising to the Caribbean and Central America; "SEA CAT" is a generous find.
Accommodations
"SEA CAT" is hull number 18 from the Tillotson-Pearson Marine Group. While most Freedom 33's were generally rigged with the "Wishbone" booms, this cruiser was built with traditional booms at the factory because the original owner was a serious cruising enthusiast. Additional custom requirements included the battened overhead in the entire cabin, which was a major improvement over the standard vinyl overlay both for aesthetics and for insulating properties. The hull, house and deck are crafted by expert New England craftsmen expected from any Tillotson-Pearson built craft.
The forward Vee-Berth features a hanging locker and drawers, the main salon is crafted with a pair of handsome 6'7" settees great seating capacity in the main salon and around the table, loads of storage areas throughout the vessel a most spacious head with hot/cold water, shower, toilet, sink and vanity.
