Dazcat 1295 Buyer's Guide
The Dazcat 1295 is a 42-foot Cornish-built catamaran launched in 2017 that blends a light-air racing record with a carefully arranged cruising interior. On the brokerage market it appears mostly as owner-specified boats and ex-charter examples, and a shopper should understand both the standard layout and the upgrade clusters that separate a basic boat from a well-equipped one before inspecting any hull.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available; ex-charter examples are common. The standard arrangement places three double cabins with a central galley in the starboard hull, while the port hull carries a matching aft cabin, large storage, and a forward head with shower where the black tank sits. Saloon seating converts to a fourth double, giving 6 to 7 berths, and the bridgedeck saloon offers 360-degree views. A buyer should confirm whether the specific hull follows the owner three-cabin plan or the alternative, and whether it began life as a private boat or a charter unit, since wear patterns differ.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Used Dazcat 1295s commonly carry a strong power and energy cluster: solar, lithium batteries, an inverter, and a Mastervolt system with easy inboard access in the port hull support extended off-grid cruising anchor. Navigation and safety gear is usually present as B&G equipment at the nav station, AIS, a chartplotter, and a life raft. Sail-handling upgrades are frequent, with code zero, spinnaker, asymmetric spinnaker, electric winches, and a self-tacking jib option making shorthanded work easier, while bimini, dinghy davits, and cockpit shower cover the comfort side. These are commonly fitted rather than rare additions, so a boat lacking several may be an early or stripped example.
What to Inspect
A buyer should still verify a few points on any Dazcat 1295. Check the galley drop down locker lids outboard in the starboard hull, which create a drink station, for smooth hinges and intact surfaces. Inspect the EmpirBus node based electronic switch panel and the Mastervolt system in the port hull for clean connections and dry housing, since these control all systems monitoring. Examine the carbon rudders and twin carbon dagger boards for impact or delamination, and confirm the Coppercoat bottoms are intact rather than patched. Look at the polystone galley and heads worktops and the walnut aft cabin joinery for cracks or water staining that would signal leaks.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
The typical market for used Dazcat 1295s is the United Kingdom. A shopper there should:
- Confirm the layout is owner three-cabin or the alternative and note charter history
- Verify solar, lithium, inverter, and Mastervolt system condition
- Test the B&G nav station, AIS, chartplotter, and life raft presence
- Inspect code zero, spinnaker, and electric winch rigging for wear
- Check galley drop lids, EmpirBus panel, and carbon foils closely
