About
KATES KABOOSE is a stunning 1988 29 ft. Beneteau First 285 fractional rig sloop.The first 285 is nice sailing yacht with a traditional aft cockpit with excellent room and a hefty sail locker to starboard. The fractional rig is tall for a 29-footer, but easily handled with a Furlex roller furler and all halyards and sheets lead aft. The winged keel and skeg rudder are nicely balanced to give additional lift to windward, where this boat outshines most others. Downwind the shallow bilges and light weight delivers thoroughbred performance. Her coach roof and foredeck are clear and clean, including a sensible self-draining anchor locker, a Stainless Steel bow pulpit with anchor roller, and sturdy life lines leading all the way aft to the Stainless Steel stern pulpits. An innovation you do not often see on smaller sailing yachts, but just as you would expect from Beneteau, there is a convenient swim platform molded into the transom, with, of course, a swim ladder.
Below is where the French influence is most prevalent. In this 29-foot boat there is 6 2 headroom and comfortable sleeping accommodation for two in the forward cabin and two in the very spacious after stateroom. An additional two adults can sleep on the very adequate salon settees. Beautifully paneled in a light wood with two cabin hatches as well as opening ports, the interior is light and airy. The galley is to port with a proper sink, pressure hot and cold water, a manual raw water pump, open counter space, top loading icebox, and a propane stove and oven (not installed as the owners prefer to use their portable butane cooktop). Opposite to starboard is a navigation center with the traditional chart top. The drop leaf table is centerline with comfortable settee/berths to either side. Aft to starboard is the compact head with a marine head and a telephone shower head. Opposite is a good sized hanging locker. The forward v-berths fills in for a traditional double berth, two cabin hatches and opening ports provide plenty of ventilation.
The engine is a 2002B Volvo 18 hp diesel mounted under the bridge deck and enjoys easy access to all sides and ends through removable panels.
KATES KABOOSE is in really excellent condition, a true testament to the owners who have had her since new. She boasts a full cockpit enclosure, custom winter cover, still crispy sails from 2013, a furling jib and a full-battened loose-footed main. She was refitted in 2016 by The Custom Yacht Builder in Whitby, Ontario. They removed all fittings and Awlgripped her hull and decks, epoxy barrier coated her undersides and replaced the liners in her head, v-berth and aft cabin.

This Regal 3350 Sport Cruiser is absolutely loaded with heat and air, genset, windlass, cockpit grill and large engines. If you compare with other pre-owned 3350`s on the market, there is a big difference in the details with this one - starting with the available power. The base power was the 260 hp 5.7Ls with single prop drives, up to the largest package, the 375 Hp 8.1L`s with Duo Prop drives- a $12K upgrade. With the twin 8.1Ls the 3350 is fast, nimble and a blast to drive.

Offering a muscular sail plan with a performance hull and appendage package, she is nonetheless robustly built with numerous thoughtful features, quality equipment, spacious living and gracious style. She is a highly desirable liveaboard vessel which is meant to go places and get there quickly, comfortably and safely. The current owner has updated her wisely - new epoxy bottom, new main and jib sails, new solar panels and more. She is clean, tidy and will be sure to impress.
Whisper II is a first generation C&C MkI. Built between 1974-1977, the 33 MkI became a popular choice for those looking for a cruiser for a small family, and could still perform in racing. Whisper II has seen many upgrades over the past few years. She is well equipped for those looking to cruise and spend time on the hook, and with her arsenal of sails can still be competitive as a club racer.
