The Slatts has been sold!

The Slatts 22 is an exciting, unusual sailboat and this one is for sale.

It is a tacking outrigger with a hydrofoil to help keep her sailing flat. Basically, it pulls the outrigger float down when on starboard tack, and lifts it when on port tack.

It steers with rudder pedals and all controls --mainsheet, jibsheets, foil control, rudder up/down, centerboard up/down, foil up/down, rudder pedals -- all come to the front seat. Your crew can sit in the back seat and relax with a glass of their favorite whatever while you tack and gybe with ease.

• The sails are in excellent condition. The jib furls on a Harken furler.
• The hulls are in excellent condition, with one coat of bottom paint.
• The beams and all connections are in excellent condition.
• The rudder and centerboard have minor dings.
• The centerboard needs a gasket to keep water rushing up into the case. I cut a piece of foam and put it in the case, but that eliminates the ability to raise and lower the centerboard.
• The foil is in excellent condition.
• The foil cable has a couple of chafe spots wrapped with electrical tape.
• The tramp is in fair condition, but you don't spend time on it unless taking a nap.
• With practice, she can be set up in less than an hour. The first time will be about 2 hours.

If you like to race you will be competitive with Hobie 18s and 20s.

If you prefer trimarans, and if you're a handy, project-oriented person, this can easily be converted to a tri with a couple of Hobie 16 hulls.

I'm selling because we bought a Corsair F-27 last summer and we haven't sailed the Slatts since.

Asking price: $3000.

Location: Eugene, Oregon. I'm willing to drive 250 miles in any direction.

Please review all pages and photos before contacting me with questions. I do not recommend this boat for beginning sailors.
