It was built 20 years ago in 1998. For the first 10 years she cruised the waters of the United States of America before being shipped to Singapore in 2008. The Grady F26 Tiger Cat is incredibly reliable and low cost to run. She has never broken down mechanically, never ran out of fuel and her twin 150HP Yamahas have never refused to start so long as I replace the batteries every 2 years. She truly is one hull of a boat for coastal fishing and day cruising in fair weather. The furthest she sailed from her Marina at RSYC (Repblic of Singapore Yacht Club) was to Karang Mas (Eastern Bank) just North of Horsburgh Lighthouse where we spent an entire night fishing. Well, after 20 short years, she is running better than ever and her hull is still rock solid. What amazes be most is, almost all of the original fittings and electricals are still in good working order.
