SALES + LINKS

127 Manta Sail Cats have been built since 1993.  The first Mark IV, with many new features was hull #111, delivered in October, 2006.  A very active owner's forum shares information and help on  a full range of issues from anchoring techniques and storm tactics to cleaning tips and where to buy hard-to-find parts.  This internet forum is only available to Manta Owners.  But we would be happy to put interested buyers in touch with other Manta owners who have offered to help prospective buyers understand the benefits of owning a Manta.

If you know of other good links or other Mantas for sale, we would be happy to add them.

There are three sections below:

1. Manta List  (Reorganized Feb 18, 2010)

2. Other Mantas For Sale By Owner

3. Other Sites and Info

2. Other Mantas for Sale By Owner

Additionally you can check out a number of websites where you will find additional information.

  * Indicates sites I think are especially useful in terms of scope and or information.

MANTA - THE COMPANY

* MantaCatamarans.com  Although the company closed its doors in the fall of 2008, this site still contains a wealth of information on the history of Manta, construction methods, features and much more.

* MantaUSA.com This is an older site for the company.  Most of the information here is available in MantaCatamarans.com.

Youtube.com/watch?v=bX87-0y7VCM  Manta promotional video.

CRUISING FORUMS / GENERAL INFO

* Cruisersforum.com  An excellent source of general blue-water cruiser info.  (Calypso is listed here.)

* SSCA.org Seven Seas Cruising Association - Good site for serious cruisers.  Anyone can view the 'Classified' Ad section of their discussion group.  (Calypso is listed here.)

Sailnet.com Lots of good info, but not as good as CruisersForum.com.  Links to usedboats.com.

Hy-techmarine.com A website run by Pat Reischmann - one of the original team of developers of the Manta.  He often has boats for sale and has a wealth of information on Mantas and their unique features.

Rhumblinesailing.com A website run by Joe Hanko, who offers training on Manta catamarans in Charlotte Harbor, Florida (Near Ft. Meyers).

BROKERED BOATS

* Yachtworld.com  Probably the best source of used-boat info, but only brokers can list boats here. It will give you a good flavor for what Mantas are being listed, prices and where Mantas can be found.

Boatcouncil.com Similar to yachtworld.com, but not as popular - Brokered yachts only.

Yachtcouncil.com Similar to yachtworld.com, but not as popular - Brokered yachts only.

Catamaranco.com  Broker Site

USED BOATS BY OWNER AND BROKER

* Boats.com Parent co to yachtworld.com, but allows Owner-sales… (Calypso is listed here)

OceanList.com  Classified ads.  Not sure how good this, but a few mantas are listed. (Calypso is listed here.)

Usedboats.com Not a bad site, though a bit slow. Brokers and owners.  Several Mantas listed here.

SailboatListings.com Seems weak, but tech-savy friend said he sold his boat through this sit.

BoatXchange.com Weak site, mostly powerboats.

MANTA OWNER WEBSITES

manta40scola.com Scola - Located in Puerto Rico.  Also listed now with a broker.

camarni.com Jade - Cam, Arni and the girls - great photos, videos, stories of 4 years on their manta sailing from Florida through USEC, Carib and across to New Zealand, Australia, Korea and finally to Hong Kong...  They just arrived there end of Dec, 2009.

Please let me know if you have any other good sites we should add... :)
