Tom and Monique Burgess have sailed extensively for many years. Logs of places visited in their 51 ft. Kanter Pilothouse Cutter, with their children Cole and Cameron, can be found on their web site at "www.uliad.com". After they sold Uliad, they started looking for something in a more managable size to continue sailing on cruising vacations with their family. They found us at Annapolis in Oct 2004 and took delivery of their new TomCat 9.7 in August, 2005.
Tom says "We love the layout of the 9.7 - it has as much space and in some areas (the cockpit for example) more than our 51 ft. monohull. The builders were willing to do the customization we wanted so we pushed them to the limit. We couldn't be more pleased with the result."
Have a look at the pictures of the "tour" to see what Tom and Monique did to their TomCat.
