Classy Cat is a Freeman 27 foot Cabin Cruiser which we use to teach our Inland Waterways Helmsman Courses.Freeman are a Classic British Cruiser and our boat is a floating |
class room hence our choice of the name Classy Cat, which follows our tradition of having a cat included in all of our boat names.
She is a 4 berth boat with an open sheltered cockpit making her suitable for teaching in most acceptable weather conditions.
Classy Cat is powered by a Perkins 4108 50 hp inboard diesel engine giving her a cruising speed of 5 knots. She is equipped with the normal features associated with a shannon cruiser such as domestic charging system, gas powered galley, hot water system and central heating. This means that clients can learn all about the systems they are likely to met when they buy their own first boat.
