The Whitehaven 13.5 is a development of the Whitehaven 12.2 using the same hulls on a longer waterline. The first Whitehaven 13.5 Lickity Split Take 2 was built by Drew and Joanna Wooler in Brisbane and launched in 2008. This is their second Pescott catamaran having built and lived on an 11 metre Summersalt design for several years before deciding to sell Lickity Split to build a larger cruising home.
On the 13.5, the forward double berths may be sideways, across the boat if preferred with the galley up with the saloon also being an option.
Engines
On this size boat twin 30 hp Saildrives are the best option for motors although some owners may prefer 20 hp 4-stroke outboards in pods.
