Tropic Multicoques Flipper III

Here is a tried and tested voyaging cat. Very large deck and cockpit space, huge interior volumes and exceptional bridgedeck clearance characterize this 4 cabin/2 head cat. An enormous array of solar panels allow for unparalleled energy autonomy. This cat has been perfected and tweaked by her owner/skipper over ten seasons of running the tradewind route between the Leewards and Venezuela.

Flipper 3 features a very robust single skin fiberglass hull. Her rudders are fully integrated within the skegs. The rig has both lower cap shrouds and running back stays. Sixteen watertight compartments in each hull make her unsinkable and virtually indestructible. If your cruising plans call for long distance voyaging to remote locations, consider this cat seriously. Solid bluewater cat offering rare value at 50 feet.
