1996 Wyliecat 30

The Wyliecat 30 is a high-performance cat-rigged sailing yacht built on a fiberglass hull, designed for speed and ease of handling. With a 3,050-pound lead bulb keel mounted in a 5,500-pound displacement hull, the boat achieves a 55% ballast-to-displacement ratio that delivers stiffness and power in a design that sails like a much larger yacht. The unstayed carbon mast and wishbone boom system make sail handling and tacking straightforward, whether sailing single-handed or short-handed.

The interior is bright and open for its size. Forward is a large V-berth, while an aft double berth and two settee berths provide multiple sleeping arrangements throughout the cabin.

The yacht is powered by a Torqueedo electric engine paired with lithium batteries that are three years old. The combination of simple rigging, light weight, and responsive hull design creates a yacht that balances performance with genuine cruising livability.
