{"product_id":"mercator-offshore-30-one-eyed-cat","title":"Mercator Offshore 30 - ONE-EYED CAT","description":"\u003cp\u003eONE-EYED CAT is a Mercator Offshore 30 designed by Neil Parmentier\/Sieg Brunnenkant and built from 1968 until 1981 in Kent, Washington. The boats were molded by Neil Parmentier and sold as bare hulls, and around 1970, Neil Parmentier, collaborating with Sieg Brunnenkant, redesigned the hull, created a new deck mold, and officially founded Mercator Industries. In 1973, Parmentier sold his interest to Brunnenkant, who continued to build the Mercator 30 until 1981. ONE-EYED CAT is a stout pocket cruiser and a great platform to explore the Pacific Northwest, and if bigger dreams are on the dance card, a sistership has completed a circumnavigation. Per renowned naval architect Robert Perry, \"the Mercator 30's hull construction exceeds Lloyd's recommended scantlings, with all bulkheads and longitudinal members screwed to fiberglass flanges and then glassed over, a thoughtful structural detail throughout.\" With her additional cabin heat, ONE-EYED CAT has been a robust 4-season platform for exploring the Salish Sea.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the owners:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"We specifically chose the Mercator 30 because we wanted a tough, honest boat built for the realities of Pacific Northwest cruising. With its relatively heavy displacement, an encapsulated keel, and a skeg-hung rudder, she is built to handle the steep chops of the Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca with absolute composure. She is a rugged, confidence-inspiring cruiser that has given us total peace of mind in all conditions.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eOur upgrades have focused strictly on enhancing that inherent seaworthiness, safety, and true 4-season cruising comfort. Equipped with an efficient Wallas forced-air diesel heating system, this boat is a proven winter explorer. We regularly cruised for weeks over Christmas and New Year's in absolute comfort. In fact, we got out more during the fall, winter, and spring because it allowed us to have the San Juans mostly to ourselves.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTo support our year-round cruising capabilities, the boat was completely repowered in 2019 with a modern, 29 HP Yanmar 3YM30 marine diesel engine. She also features a comprehensive electronics overhaul, including an integrated Raymarine Axiom 7 navigation suite with a 24-mile radar to safely and confidently cope with the frequent fog.\"\u003c\/em\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecent Upgrades \u0026amp; Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYanmar 3YM30 AE (2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine ST1000 tiller pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine Quantum radar dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine Axiom 7 touch screen MFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecent Precision Sails main and genoa (135%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarken MkIV roller furler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWallas 30 GB diesel cabin heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterior Accommodations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eONE-EYED CAT’s interior layout is well-suited to a small, passage-making cruiser. A V-berth sits forward, with the head to port just forward of the mast. The main salon features a U-shaped settee to port that converts to a double berth, and a single settee to starboard. With the addition of lee cloths, all salon seating can be configured for comfortable off watch rest underway. Aft of the main salon and immediately adjacent to the offset companionway, an L-shaped galley to port offers a large icebox, single sink, and 4-burner propane stove with oven. To starboard, a compact navigation station keeps the MFD and VHF within easy reach of the cockpit. An aft starboard quarter berth completes the layout. Whether at anchor or underway, her accommodations are well up to the task of keeping her crew safe, rested, and well fed.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enterior Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWallace 30 GB diesel heater with dedicated 2-gallon fuel tank \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForce 10 Cozy propane cabin heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGalley\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 burner propane stove w\/oven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5-gallon propane fuel tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle center line sink w\/ hot and cold pressure water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, insulated ice box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot water heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHot and cold pressure water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHead\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJabsco manual head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15 gallon blackwater holding tank w\/ Y-valve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSink with pressure water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics \u0026amp; Navigation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCockpit \/ Helm Station\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRitchie bulkhead mounted 3¾\" compass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNavigation Station\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine ST1000 Tiller Pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine Quantum radar dome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine Axiom 7 touch screen MFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaymarine C.P 370 digital sonar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Horizon Explorer VHF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Horizon HX 290 floating handheld VHF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarmin GPS Map 441s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeems and Plath 3.5” Barometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeems and Plath 3.5” Clock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEntertainment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e21” Supersonic flatscreen TV monitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJVC KD-R320 Stereo Receiver\/CD player\/AM-FM radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSony DVP-SR5104 CD\/DVD player\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJensen stereo speaker (main salon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: Yanmar 3YM30 AE (2019)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission - Kanzaki KM2P – direct drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePPS Dripless shaft \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 Blade fixed bronze propeller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYanmar engine Instruments and Morse controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPXFLOW 12v automatic bilge pump (verify model \/ capacity)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWallace 30 GB diesel heater with dedicated 2 gal fuel tank \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForce 10 Cozy Propane cabin heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaframo electric fan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater heater 6 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuel tank 36 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater tank 30 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolding tank: 15 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12v DC and 120v AC electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(2) Full River CD224-6 (6-volt 224Ah) deep cycle batteries - 12V at 224 Ah available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(1) West Marine 12v 105 Ah AGM start battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePro-Matic 30-3 battery charger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck \u0026amp; Hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eONE-EYED CAT is a robustly constructed boat with all bulkheads and longitudinal members screwed to fiberglass flanges and then glassed over.
