HAPPY FEETS - A Custom-Built Bluewater Passagemaker
Unlike mass-produced boats, custom craftsmanship means superior quality and thoughtful design - and HAPPY FEETS is proof. Built to exacting specifications by its original owner, this Watercats 46PH, designed by multihull legend Derek Kelsall, is a true ocean voyager - strong, efficient, and optimized for liveaboard comfort. Innovative Design & Comfort:
Dual Cockpits: A rare forward cockpit seats six and features a second helm - ideal for sailing comfort and cooler evening anchorages.
Unparalleled Visibility: The fully enclosed pilothouse offers 360° panoramic views and an indoor helm for all-weather navigation.
Spacious Galley & Saloon: A home-sized kitchen and a comfortable dinette create a welcoming interior with abundant fresh air and light.
Superior Ventilation: 29 hatches and ports, plus a forward-opening cockpit door, ensure constant airflow - even in the tropics.
Thoughtful Live aboard Features: Solar panels, a water catchment system, a solar water heater, and a water maker support off-grid cruising.
Sail the ICW with confidence: Mast height just 62 feet for smooth passage.
Performance & Safety:
Strong, lightweight foam-core composite construction for insulation and durability.
Steel-wire standing rigging & roller furling Genoa for easy sail handling.
Twin diesel engines with separate tanks for redundancy and reliability.
Custom fiberglass fuel tanks - easily removable for maintenance.
Designed for serious cruising
Effortless Solo Sailing: Designed for easy handling.
HAPPY FEETS isn't just another catamaran - it's a smartly designed, liveaboard built for sailors who appreciate quality, comfort, and reliability. Additional Info
