2000 mengercat 19 catboat long island suffolk county town of islip new york

Description

If you have been searching for the catboat of your dreams look no further.This 19' Mengercat is a highly maintained example of Bill Menger's design that is admired by catboat sailors everywhere.The retractable keel makes shallow waters your friend and the classic look of this boat constantly draws compliments wherever she is sailing.I purchased this boat some years ago from a friend of Mr Menger who had it built especially for him.This boat has a Yanmar 1GM10 diesel that works like the day it was made. It has few hours on it because it is only used to get out of the creek to the bay where the sail takes over.It has a nice teak bow pulpit for anchoring, lazy jacks and a jiffy reef system.The easily stepped mast is on a tabernacle hinge making transfer and storage a breeze.For the next owner, I have in my possession all the original documentation including an instructional video featuring Mr Menger himself explaining how best to sail his boat plus all his original supporting printed material.It has fully functional running lights, a dual battery system and has both cabin and cockpit cushions which are clean and in top shape.All the teak trim has been maintained nicely with Cetol.There is a nice fold down picnic table in the cabin.The cockpit is self bailing and there is an automatic pump is in the bilge.All rigging lines are fresh having been changed with nice soft braided line 2 seasons ago.The boat features solid bronze hardware.
The boat has been a joy to own and sail and whoever owns her next will be a very lucky sailor indeed!Prepurchase inspections at my dock are welcome however there will be no sea trials without a deposit (refundable)I have a clear title.
