About this boat

The Format System Kelsall 38 Cruising Catamaran is a rare and well-maintained vessel built in 1988 by Format Systems in Germany, based on Derek Kelsall's renowned KSS design for flat-panel sandwich construction. This 38-foot catamaran offers exceptional comfort with four cabins and six beds, making it ideal for families or groups of up to six guests.

"Mai Tai" is a Kelsall catamaran built by Format Systems in Germany based on Derek Kelsall's KSS designs for flat panel construction in polyester PVC foam sandwich. Kelsall's multihulls are known for their good performances and seaworthiness."Mai Tai" has an open bridgedeckcabin/wheelhouse over the cockpit, ideal for sunny regions, with 6 beds in 4 cabins in the hulls. The present owner bought the yacht in 2021 and has since then renewed a lot of equipment while exploring the Med. All interior and exterior surfaces were professionally refurnished. Some new items are still unwrapped in their original packing and need to be installed. Health reasons in the family force him now to offer his catamaran for sale again. The present price is reduced to enable a handyman to fix some outstanding jobs, provided he can decide quickly. The "Mai Tai" is now for sale in the south east of Spain.

One of the standout features of this catamaran is its spacious open bridgedeck cabin, designed specifically for sunny climates to maximize natural light and ventilation. The vessel, known as Mai Tai, has been privately owned and never used as a bareboat charter, ensuring a history of careful maintenance. Its robust polyester PVC foam construction provides durability and stability for coastal cruising.
