2000 Malcolm Tennant Timeliner 47

    This is "Pelican" she is a custom-built Malcolm Tennant cruising performance catamaran, constructed in Australia in 2000. She is a high-volume vessel built from Strip-plank WRC with an epoxy glass skin, weighing approximately 7 tons. My family and I have lived aboard since 2017, traveling from Australia through PNG, the Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. It was our intention to continue sailing up into the Philippines but unfortunately our plans have changed and we've decided we have to sell. LOA - 14.3m Beam- 7.6m Draft - 1.1m Comments from the builder Ross Pelham regarding the 'Tennant 47' Catamaran Timeliner build. "Pahi" was the original name Now it's "Pelican" the hull construction is 13mm cedar and 440 gm unidirectional on each side, sounds lightweight I know but was fine,I put an extra layer of 400 db below WL each side for beaching loads on skeg, not specified by Malcolm, total boat weight 5.9 t fitted out with half full tanks ,she had two queen berth 2 double and 2 swr /wc ,would be interesting what the displacement of a new boat build would be under today's spec! Most people are shocked when i tell them the planks were 13mm but she is very strong with no panel bigger than 1m x 2m with furniture and foam glass ring frames elsewhere,Tennant knew his stuff and I built exactly to plan except cabin shape which i modernized, I built that one at Coomera in Peter O'Briens shed in 1999" This is a fast performance cruiser that is designed and built to be long and light with thin hulls and a moderate rig for best performance, it is designed to carry medium loads with a huge sail area to compensate for the additional weight. Built as designed, you will be a very happy person if you can find one!
