HAPPY FEETS – A Custom-Built Bluewater Passagemaker
Unlike mass-produced boats, custom craftsmanship means superior quality and thoughtful design—and HAPPY FEETS is proof. Built to exacting specifications by its original owner, this Watercats 46PH, designed by multihull legend Derek Kelsall, is a true ocean voyager—strong, efficient, and optimized for liveaboard comfort.
Innovative Design & Comfort:
- Dual Cockpits: A rare forward cockpit seats six and features a second helm—ideal for sailing comfort and cooler evening anchorages.
- Unparalleled Visibility: The fully enclosed pilothouse offers 360° panoramic views and an indoor helm for all-weather navigation.
- Spacious Galley & Saloon: A home-sized kitchen and a comfortable dinette create a welcoming interior with abundant fresh air and light.
- Superior Ventilation: 29 hatches and ports, plus a forward-opening cockpit door, ensure constant airflow—even in the tropics.
- Thoughtful Live aboard Features: Solar panels, a water catchment system, a solar water heater, and a water maker support off-grid cruising.
- Sail the ICW with confidence: Mast height just 62 feet for smooth passage.
Performance & Safety:
- Strong, lightweight foam-core composite construction for insulation and durability.
- Steel-wire standing rigging & roller furling Genoa for easy sail handling.
- Twin diesel engines with separate tanks for redundancy and reliability.
- Custom fiberglass fuel tanks—easily removable for maintenance.
- Designed for serious cruising
- Effortless Solo Sailing: Designed for easy handling.
HAPPY FEETS isn’t just another catamaran—it’s a smartly designed, liveaboard built for sailors who appreciate quality, comfort, and reliability.
