[MHml] XL2 for sale

[Paul Nudd]

Here's my first attempt at details of XL2 for sale:

XL2 is a Lock Crowther Design No. 72 Catamaran.
LOA 38' 4” BOA 25' 2”
Open deck with 'cantilevered cabins' giving generous double berths in 
each hull.
Built in 1987 by Geoff Cruse in Brisbane. Foam/kevlar/epoxy construction 
with composite main crossbeam and hard decking aft of the mast. 17 metre 
aluminum alloy mast by 'SparMaster' (Brisbane) and carbon fibre boom by 
Rob Denney. Fully battened spectra mainsail (650 sq ft from memory) No 1 
genoas - light and heavy (375 sq ft from memory), Jib non overlapping 
(carbon - near new), storm jib, Assymetric spinnakers 2 x fractional and 
1 masthead (1900 sq ft from memory) fly from a 4.3 metre bowsprit. 
Yamaha 9.9 4 stroke hi-thrust in central nacelle - remote control from 
port cockpit with electric start. Full instrumentation.
Enviable race record, including breaking the race record for Brisbane to 
Gladstone in 1993 and holding that record for 8 years. Second fastest 
Cairns (Australia) to Port Moresby (New Guinea) in 1995 with an average 
speed over 16 knots.
Excellent spartan cruising vessel with a boom tent covering the entire 
25' beam.

Would be an excellent base for converting to a ultra high performance 
bridgedeck cruising cat, similar to “Free Spirit”.

XL2 needs a little work - nothing major - est' A$20k to spend and is 
offered for sale at A$195k in 'as is' condition.
