The Wildcat 35 is a fantastic option for cruising, especially if you’re looking for something that combines speed and comfort without breaking the bank. With its design by Jeff Schionning and a broad beam of almost 7 meters, it offers plenty of interior space, which is always a big plus on a cruising catamaran. The performance numbers of 8 to 10 knots to windward and 10 to 13 knots off the wind are impressive and show that this catamaran is quite capable on the water.
Since it was built in Durban by Charter Cats, you might also be getting a well-regarded build quality, especially for the time. It is a well-balanced choice for someone with a limited budget but still looking for a boat that performs well and offers a comfortable cruising experience.

Van de Stadt – Mercury a classic with a long history – R750,000. zar / $38,000.usd
12.8 m / 42 ft
– Sloop Cutter
– van der Stadt: 222 design
– Previous Owners: Various KZN Yacht Clubs; Natal Ocean Racing Foundation; H.E Kearney; D. De Bruin; G.Lewis
Among five designs which were requested for possible sponsorship by the South African Ocean Racing Trust (SAORT) in the Cape to Rio ’71 race, was this design 222 by Ricus van der Stadt. It was taken over by a group of Natal enthusiasts, amongst them the newspaper `Natal Mercury’, who raised funds and had Mercury built by de Dood of Bremen, Germany. Thesens of Knysna executed the same design to produce her sister ship, `Albatros II’.
The design was an attempt to create a yacht which could stand up well in hard weather and which could drive along without having to heave to, but would give a fair speed in very little wind.
`Mercury’ followed the most modern trends in her rigging, which is usually of stranded stainless steel or galvanised iron wire. She had solid rods of specially hardened stainless steel as her fore and back stays giving virtually no stretch under load.
Restored from 2012 onward, she has been operated in Knysna, South Africa by Southern Yachting Academy for active crewing adventures; for more details, follow this menu…the yacht is in need of a new owner who loves wooden tradisional yachts to restor her to her former glory.

How to Buy a Yacht: Key Considerations
Buying a yacht is an exciting venture, but it’s essential to approach it with careful consideration of your budget, desired size, and realistic expectations. Here are the important aspects to keep in mind:
-
Budgeting Wisely: Your budget will significantly influence your options. Determine how much you can comfortably spend, factoring in not just the purchase price but also maintenance, insurance, and docking fees. For smaller budgets, you may find older models or smaller vessels that still offer a great experience, but be prepared for potential repairs and upgrades.
-
Choosing the Right Size: The size of the yacht should align with your intended use—whether it’s for solo trips, family outings, or entertaining guests. Smaller yachts can be more affordable and easier to manage, while larger ones offer more space and amenities but come with higher costs. Consider how often you plan to use the yacht and for what purposes.
-
Realistic Expectations: If you’re working with a limited budget, it’s important to have realistic expectations about what you can afford. While a brand-new, luxury yacht may be out of reach, you can find good value in pre-owned models. Increasing your budget slightly can open up more options, including better condition boats and more features.
-
The Role of a Yacht Broker: Engaging with an experienced yacht broker, such as Angela Collins Yachts, can be invaluable in navigating the complexities of yacht purchasing. Brokers bring industry expertise, helping you identify suitable options that fit your budget and preferences. They can also provide insights into market trends and potential pitfalls, ensuring a smoother buying process.
In summary, when buying a yacht, align your budget and size with your expectations. With the right guidance from a knowledgeable broker, you can find a vessel that meets your needs and offers a rewarding boating experience.
How to Sell a Yacht: The Importance of Choosing the Right Broker
Selling a yacht can be a complex process, but choosing the right broker can make all the difference. In the bustling world of yachting, it’s essential to partner with someone who not only understands the market but also genuinely appreciates the nuances of the sailing lifestyle. Here’s why working with a knowledgeable and reputable broker, like Angela and Mark Collins at Angela Collins Yachts, is crucial for a successful sale.
1. Realistic Valuation: The Key to Attracting Buyers
A good broker will provide a realistic valuation based on market trends, the yacht’s condition, and other vital factors. This valuation is not just a number—it’s your first step toward attracting serious buyers.
2. Access to a Network of Clients
An experienced broker has a broad network and can tap into potential buyers that you might not reach on your own. They know where to find serious inquiries and how to present your yacht to the right audience.
3. Effective Marketing Platforms
In today’s digital age, visibility is crucial. A knowledgeable broker utilizes formidable marketing platforms to showcase your yacht, ensuring it stands out in a crowded market.
4. Reputation in the Sailing Community
Choosing a broker with a solid reputation in the sailing industry can give you an edge. Angela and Mark Collins are not just brokers; they are passionate sailors with years of experience in building and selling yachts, which adds credibility and trust.
5. Understanding the Broker’s Commitment
It’s important to remember that a broker only earns their income when a sale is concluded. The time, effort, and expertise they invest in your sale deserve appreciation and recognition.
Conclusion
Selling a yacht is a significant decision, and partnering with a knowledgeable broker can streamline the process and maximize your returns. If you’re ready to take the next step, consider reaching out to professionals like Angela and Mark Collins, who bring a wealth of experience and a passion for sailing to the table.
