Description
PRICE REDUCED
Felix is a custom 37 foot Epoxy-composite catboat. She is based on the designs of early 1900's Barnegat Bay Catboats. But Felix is far from traditional in form and function. She is the largest Catboat known on the East coast and the builder has included some very high-tech design elements like solid Ash & Cedar Composite Hull, Carbon Fiber Rudder, Marconi rig with carbon fiber spars, Technora laminated main & Jib and a hydraulic propulsion system that raises into the hull when not in use. Her very wide 14' beam enables Felix to carry a tall 1000 sq ft sail plan and no ballast while displacing only 8,500 lbs! Felix is an absolute thrill to sail! This combination of stability, speed and comfort is unmatched even by much larger vessels.
Felix is powered by a S3-L to Westerbeke diesel generator which runs the AC components, charges the DC batteries and also powers the hydraulics. She is fitted with Garmin chartplotter, West Marine VHF, hot-cold pressure water, Raritan "Electrosan" with Lavac head & Shower, HVAC system and other modern amenities in a comfortable cabin. Felix has just returned from her 2022 refit including all new paint inside and out. She is ready to go and available to see by appointment in Oriental NC.

For over 30 years Lars has been working with and sailing on a wide variety of sail, power and commercial vessels. He hopes to put this experience to use by helping to take the hassle out of purchasing or selling your next vessel.Lars started sailing with his father on the Chesapeake Bay and small ponds around Seaford, Delaware. After serving in the National Guard he traveled extensively with his brother, Carl, on their 28’ sloop and began restoring boats and working in boatyards around the Florida Keys. He provided everything from bottom paint and repairs to high-tech marine topside coatings, electrical wiring and sailboat rigging. During this time, he also crewed and skippered on many vessels including a trans-Atlantic voyage in 1992, and as 1st Mate for a year aboard the 79′ day charter schooner “Jolly Rover’ in Lewes, DE and St. Pete Beach, FL.
Always fascinated by the art of sail making, Lars accepted an internship at Quantum Sails in Marathon, FL where he learned about traditional handwork, high tech sail cloth, sail shape and yacht racing. Sail making led to canvas work and eventually to Fountain Power Boats where he supervised the design and construction of exterior canvas products. Then on to West Palm Beach, he worked on various yacht canvas projects before settling in Wilmington, NC to start his own sail loft/canvas shop. Lars and his wife, Carrie operated the store for 6 years.
After 20 years in sails and canvas, it was time for something new. In 2016 Lars and Carrie closed their business to pursue a carreer in yacht sales. They sold their house and moved aboard their 43’ Gulfstar with their three daughters. Lars has recently completed training to become a certified yacht broker and is ready to work with you. Whether buying, selling or trading your power or sailing vessel, Lars is committed to providing you the best possible experience.
