Used TomCat 9.7 Sailboats for Sale

The TomCat 9.7 occupies a unique position in the multihull market, serving as a bridge between the lightweight, performance-oriented "beach cat" lineage and the heavy, condo-style cruisers that dominate modern charter fleets. Designed by Ted Strain and built in Ontario, Canada, this 32-foot sailing catamaran was conceived to provide a level of performance and structural integrity often missing in production boats of its size. Its design philosophy centers on a moderate beam-to-length ratio and a low-aspect-ratio profile that prioritizes stability and ease of handling for short-handed crews. The vessel is constructed using a vacuum-bagged, foam-core sandwich method, ensuring the hulls are stiff, lightweight, and inherently buoyant. While the primary production run focused on the standard 9.7 configuration, the builder also introduced the 9.70 and 9.70 S variants, which offered refinements in the cockpit layout and rig tensioning systems to further enhance the vessel’s cruising capabilities.
