Prindle 16 Sailing Catamaran and trailer, highly customized, many spare parts. At a glance:Clean Title for the boatClean Title for the trailerEverything is new - tons of money invested, see below.Boat and trailer are modified to save 40 minutes on rigging, see below.Trailer is modified to keep car away from salt water, see below. About Prindle 16 Prindle 16 has slightly larger hulls compared to the Hobie Cat 16, and tends to have more buoyancy and is often recommended for novices. Prindle is a tough boat and doesn't have the famous Hobie Cat weak spots where the hulls rot. Parts are readily available from online retailers This is a very fun boat with 1-4 people. I've clocked 20+ mph on it in the Keyport area and I have never sailed anything before and have had no instruction. I've even sailed with it overnight (island camping). About THIS Prindle 16 The boat and trailer have been modified to reduce the setup time. Prior to modifications it took me about an hour to rig the boat and get it ready to launch. After modifications, it takes me less than 20 (and I'm always doing it alone). Modifications include: Boat is on trailer backwards so that the rudders stay on.PVC rudder supports to prevent rudder damage.Quick-Release forestay (shackle rated for 2500lbs), quick-release boom, etc (no D-rings)Shrouds always stay on because the boat is backwards on the trailer.I use micro bungees for batten ties, they stay on.The only setup is therefore: raise mast, clip in boom, raise sails.Longer trailer tongue keeps your car away from salt water.

Up for sale is my 16' Prindle. The main sale is multi colored and in very good shape considering this is not a new boat, the jib is solid Yellow. The Boats pontoons are in very good shape with no soft spots. The Trailer is Aluminum and also in good shape and has bearing buddies installed. I have not sailed in years but have sailed extensively on both this prindle and other sailboats. The 16 Prindle handles the heavy wind far better than a hobie and very importantly can be self righted when/if you flip it by just one person. This point can not be overstated you dont want to be stranded in the middle of the lake because you are sailing an 18' It will take a weekend to clean up and to do the intisl setup. On a prindle each rudder is raised and lowered manually and independantly of the other by two different lines, for a total of four four foot lines. These lines are about three to four feet long each. These lines are available at lowes or home depot in the rope section and cost a total under $10.00. It is easy with just a coat hanger to re-line your rudders in about 20 minutes and is part of good maitenance to do on who evers prindle you adopt. Besides this just a good overall cleaning and waxing much like you would your car. The trailer has Michigan plates but the tabs are expired. I contacted secretary of state today and was told that boats under 20' in Michigan do not have title but just a bill of sale, please feel free to confirm this independantly with the Michigan Secretary of State office. All the other ropes and block along with the main and jib sails and the boom, Mast and cables, have been stored inside and are in excellent condition. I am no longer including the trampoline so you will have to buy a new one. This is good because new trampolines are so much better than the original trampolines that came with these boats. The reason is you tend to slide across these tramps very often as you move from port to starboard under the boom and vice versa and nothing is worse than the original trampoline for this or a modern trampoline with burs/small inperfections. You also want a trampoline that will be smooth to slide across without any obstacles in the mat ie Straps, Gromets, Rope and in my opinion rope pockets. See Aromic Tarp Website for 16' Prindle Mats. http://www.atomictarp.com/catamaran_trampolines?id=catamaran_trampolines&bas=&categories=4 The prindle is at my home on commerce lake in Commerce Township, MI. It is loaded on its aluminum trailer in my driveway. $650 firm 248-266-2045 or 248-894-6387 Emailing is the easiest way to reach me, I check my email often thru out the day and can respond to any questions quickly.

I have spent over $4000 for equipment and upgrades in the last 4 to 10 years, during which time the cat has been used only 4 or 5 times each summer and stored inside a large dry garage. The hulls are 1983 and are very sound with zero de-lamination. The sails, mast, boom, cross beams, dolphin-catcher and rudder system date from 1978. All parts have been properly maintained and are in great condition. After each outing, consisting of a brief jaunt into Long Beach harbor, she was hosed down thoroughly with fresh water and the stowage hatches and bags were removed to allow airflow through the hulls to prevent mold growth. She has sat idle indoors for the past 3 years. I’m moving to the mountains where there’s little opportunity to sail. Items that I purchased (new unless stated otherwise) over the 6-year period, most if not all of which are thus lightly used and in good condition:- trampoline with hiking straps and halyard pocket; stainless steel shrouds, bridle and forestay; mast head pulleys; trapeze wires, hardware and harness; telescoping tiller with cork ball and wraparound grip; port covers and cat bags; beach wheels (Cat Trax with cradles); righting bag; two spare rudders (bought used but in very good condition) including stainless steel hardware; two paddles ; trampoline tightening kit; spare shackles; spare batten pockets; 6 adult life vests (2L, 2M, 2S/XS/child) ; Men’s large and women’s medium spring wetsuits (we used once); Men’s L Core Hotskin long sleeve; men’s L C-Skin shorts; waterproof bag; “Catamaran Sailing from Start to Finish” by Phil Berman . Other items included:- trailer with tail/brake/turn signal lights and spare wheel and tire; men’s L C-Skin-style long pants; men’s M long sleeve flotation jacket; self supporting cat chair; women’s 8 1/2 booties; pivot grease and other odd items.If you want me to take a specific photo let me know and I'll email it to you. Buyer collects or I am willing to deliver within about 30 miles of Long Beach, California for an additional $75.
