Pelican is a 26 foot custom catamaran with a schooner junk rig. She is very solidly built of marine ply/epoxy composite by an ex-professional boatbuilder for his own use. She has shallow draft of 2'4" and a beam of 9'9" so is trailable and an ideal East Coast boat. She has also reputedly been sailed to the Med and when I bought her in late 2015 she had French fire extinguishers and flares aboard. Lying ashore at Blackwater Marina, Maylandsea, Essex, UK.

Pics in attached zip file and online at http://s157.photobucket.com/user/christopher020352/library/Pelican?sort=3&page=1 and she is also advertised on ebay (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232737760286?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649) and Apollo Duck (https://www.apolloduck.com/boat.phtml?id=562791). Survey report from 2015 and text of ad attached. Insurance valuation £8000. Asking price £4000 for a quick sale.

Well not quite, as it says an ideal gunk-holer, I have my sights on something more ocean-worthy.  Oryx is near perfect, though would prefer if the non-stretched, aand is the wrong side of the planet! 

And a ready-made chance to cross an ocean!

Is it possible to see forward from the cockpit at all? 

That sure is a big and very solid superstructure right in the middle

However, the two hulls have separate entrances, Wharram style. The superstructure is an addition by someone and really serves just as a sprayhood. It would be fairly easy to remove - think an hour with a chainsaw plus a couple more making good and refixing the cleats etc. If I were keeping her, that's what I would do and have a proper canvas cockpit enclosure made. I did make enquiries and found it would cost anything from under £1000 for a simple sprayhood to around two thousand for a full enclosure.

As it says in the doc attached to the initial post,

'Sails very well.
Sea worthy and safe as all sail controls come back to the cockpit.'
