CATAMARAN sail yacht CUSTOM

This is a very rare opportunity to have a truly phenomenal sailing vessel for your use and investment.  The bottom was taken to raw aluminum and refared in January 2009 and she’s currently due for a bottom job.  The owner has installed dual (2) SOLAS 8-person ocean life rafts.

This CATAMARAN, a beautiful custom design in ¼” aluminum by French naval architect Francois Lucas; the last of three built.  Designed for blue water sailing, she is possibly the most as any large CAT out there.  Hull, superstructure fabrication and mechanical systems were completed at M. Marine in Louisiana. In 2003, she was delivered to a master carpenter for build out of her interior and other cosmetics where master craftsman J. Authurs build out.  In early 2006, with the interior work completed, she was rigged and first sailed. 

Sails and Rigging

With a mast height of 23 meters (75’) and super strong rigging, the CATAMARAN is able to sail in the most demanding conditions.  Sailing is a breeze with her roller-furling Genoa and she cruises comfortably under sail at an average of 7 knots and motor-sails to 10 knots at cruising RPM.  The addition of an asymmetric spinnaker should add 1-2.5 knots under most conditions

The mainsail conveniently stows with lazy jacks on the boom.  All sheets lead to the enclosed and raised helm.  There is virtually no danger from getting hit by the boom from any of the primary spaces for steering or lounging.

The helm area is like a fly bridge, raised up above the cabin and provides incredible unobstructed 360 degree views.  There is an expansive shade with top and full enclosure if needed.  There is room for 2-4 extra persons to sit on cushioned bench seats on the port and starboard sides of the helm.

The rig features a 65 Foot Norseman /Rondahl 3 Spreader Rig, Lazy Jack main sail with cover on boom: 12oz. Dacron Main Sail, Mack Sail Pack, (7) full battens (Harken) and 2 reefs new in 2006.  9oz.
