SAILING The $150,000 New Cruising Catamaran | Learning the Lines

The Smart Cat S280 starts to fulfill a gap in the cruising catamaran market that needed to be filled. Before today, "small and affordable" could never enter the same sentence as "cruising catamaran," with most cruising catamarans starting at half a million dollars or more. I've been saying that the catamaran market in general is moving towards a "bigger is better" mentality and that's definitely not the always the case. I've been wanting smaller and more affordable cats to go on the new boat market for a long time now, and the Smart Cat S280, although definitely not perfect, is a breath of fresh air in that regard. She's small, relatively affordable with a price tag of $149,900, and offers a ton of accommodation for a 28 foot boat. She's built to be a daysailer, weekended or light coastal cruiser, and I think she would be a fun boat for those purposes. I'd love to see more manufacturers start to compete in this niche. It's nice that the Smart Cat S280 is here now, but I'd like to see more than one option for new cruising cats of this size, and more specifically options that emphasize sailing performance more than the Smart Cat S280. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base Price: $149,900 Smart Cat Website: http://s-comtech.com/?lang=en USA Yacht Export: http://www.usayachtexport.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you make an informed decision on your next boat with this tool: http://sailingsoulianis.com/shop/ltl-... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not-A-Broker Consulting:   / notabrokerconsulting   Facebook:   / learningthelines   Instagram:   / learningthelines   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's.
