St Francis Marine Angelo Lavranos

The St Francis 50 delivers an outstanding blend of performance, comfort, and true bluewater capability; a luxury cruising catamaran designed for effortless handling, low maintenance passagemaking, and extended offshore cruising in complete comfort.

Fresh from a comprehensive 2022 refit, Nutmeg has been significantly upgraded and repowered with twin Yanmar 54hp engines, along with new sail drives and a suite of modern systems throughout. Her refit includes a lithium battery bank, updated chart plotter and VHF, rebuilt watermaker and genset, and a new Starlink Gen 4 system, ensuring reliable offshore connectivity wherever she cruises.

Her custom-crafted interior showcases warm timber finishes and an abundance of natural light, creating a welcoming and homely onboard atmosphere. The well considered layout offers a generous saloon with seamless flow to the cockpit and galley, complemented by a spacious foredeck, designed to deliver comfort, privacy, and practical liveaboard functionality.

She features a spacious 5-cabin layout, offering exceptional flexibility for extended cruising or liveaboard comfort. The four main guest cabins each feature full ensuites with separate shower compartments, beautiful timber trims, excellent natural ventilation, and the luxury of air conditioning throughout. The fifth cabin, located in the starboard forward hull, is configured as a dedicated crew cabin or workshop space and benefits from its own independent access, adding superb practicality and versatility.

The expansive cockpit makes excellent use of the vessel's impressive beam, striking a rare and well-executed balance between offshore safety and open plan living. The enclosed cockpit design provides excellent protection at sea, while the centre opening aft delivers a seamless walkthrough to the saloon—a standout and rarely seen feature on bluewater catamarans. Full cockpit clears further enhance comfort, allowing the space to be fully enclosed in all weather conditions, making it equally suited to passagemaking or relaxed onboard living.

Flowing naturally from the cockpit is a thoughtfully designed galley, fitted with quality appliances and an abundance of storage, making long distance cruising and liveaboard life genuinely effortless.

The helm position provides the skipper with excellent 360-degree visibility, allowing clear sight-lines to all four corners of the vessel for confident manoeuvring and easy docking. Dual controlled electric winches enable effortless sail handling and trimming from either tack, allowing full control without needing to leave the helm seat.

Lovingly maintained with all new standing rigging in 2026, a fresh polish and recently imported with Australian taxes paid, Nutmeg presents as a capable and proven performance cruiser, fully equipped and ready for her next offshore adventures.
