Overview

Description

Built using composite construction, with E-glass/epoxy laminates over a foam core, this power catamaran combines exceptional strength with lightweight performance. The foam core construction also provides excellent sound insulation, resulting in a remarkably quiet and comfortable boat underway.

The spacious interior offers full standing headroom throughout, with a queen-size berth forward, a separate head and shower, and a quarter berth in the port hull. An optional second quarter berth can be incorporated into the starboard hull. The saloon features a generous galley and a large L-shaped settee with dining table, which can convert into an additional double berth.

The cockpit is designed for entertaining and easy access to the water, featuring a fold-down hull-side boarding panel, an expansive aft boarding platform, and optional built-in seating. A large retractable window in the aft saloon bulkhead lowers into a concealed recess, while a bi-fold door opens the saloon directly to the cockpit, creating excellent indoor/outdoor flow.

Power options range from twin 90hp to twin 150hp four-stroke outboard engines, with foil-assist to further enhance performance and efficiency. The combination of lightweight composite construction, efficient hull design, and foil assistance allows the boat to achieve excellent performance with relatively modest engine power, resulting in low fuel consumption and economical cruising.

With a beam of just 3.050m and lightweight construction, the boat also offers the practical advantage of being trailer able, subject to local towing regulations and suitable trailer equipment.
