Sea-Tribe 870 Sail Cat

The Sea-Tribe 870 is an 8.7m (28’) catamaran - fun, fast and rigged for simple, single-handed sailing.

This is a CE Certified ocean-going vessel, with comfortable, live-aboard accommodation, for a family or group of 6 and with the spacious bridgedeck and forward netting area the 870 is an ideal day-sailer for larger groups (with the deck space of a 45’-50’ monohull).

Moreover, with a variety of different configurations to choose from, you are able to optimise the design of the yacht to suit your needs. For instance, you can increase the mast height, or replace the bridgedeck with a netting trampoline, saving weight and increasing the freeboard from 0.7m to 1m.

Aside from these options, the internal furniture configuration is completely customisable within the constraints of the bulkhead positions.

The 870 is also a transportable catamaran and can be towed, assembled and launched using a custom trailer – ideal for economic over-land relocation, winterizing or slipping for maintenance (we also offer a launching dolley - a simple, lightweight trailer without full towing capabilities). The skeg keels are designed to take the weight of the yacht on the trailer, thus also making the 870 entirely beachable.

For the overseas client, as well as being trailable, the 870 was designed to fit into a 40’ shipping container, for easy and cost-effective delivery.

The 870 has a deep, child-friendly, enclosed bridgedeck and all lines lead to the steering position, which, with the self-tacking jib, eliminates the necessity of leaving the bridgedeck area for sail-handling.

Although the featured boat has a single motor and tiller steering, the standard 870 Sail Cat comes with wheel steering and twin motors.

Even with the standard mast height, the 870 is very capable of reaching speeds in excess of 15kts.
