Stepped hulls: The steps inboard and outboard of the hulls allow the beam of the hulls on the waterline to remain narrow, while maximizing the interior volume above the water line to give the best combination of interior volume and boat speed.

Sail: Powerful sail plan: Large main, large overlapping genoa, sail plan with an optimized aspect ratio (more efficient, easier to trim, better air flow in “slot between main and headsail”) allowing good sailing speeds  lighter air and minimize the use of the motors. Optional square top main (with hook), bowsprit with Code 0 and Code D, folding props, upgraded sails and upgraded running rigging are also available.

Power: Efficient hulls with fine entry bows. Efficient drivetrain with optimize propeller and propeller angle in tunnel. Max speed 24knts+. Cruising speed 18knts with less horsepower, lower consumption and longer range than any other power catamaran.

Reliable and simple systems that perform in all conditions, from the comfort of a marina to at anchor or in the middle of the ocean.
