Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the CatamaranfromPROUTfor blue‑water cruising and long passages, with reports of circumnavigations underscoring its ocean‑going credentials. On the water it is a steady passage‑maker rather than a performance cat; owners describe heavier, more deliberate handling—“the more wind the more she seems to like it”—and reviewers have noted about eight knots at roughly 2,450 rpm. Several models have relatively low bridgedeck clearance, so expect some underside slamming when pushing upwind in a chop, even as overall behavior remains comfortable and seaworthy.

For liveaboard family use and charter, the nacelle design provides generous saloon headroom and fore‑and‑aft living space, with multiple interior arrangements including 3–4 cabin options and galley‑down variants in owner and charter configurations. As one owner put it, “They are a lot of boat for their current market price.” Maintenance expectations are typical of older cruising cats: survey for water ingress around deck fittings, and scrutinize rudder tie‑rod areas and bearings; engines and systems are generally accessible via large aft hatches, and many boats carry conventional Volvo engines with saildrives—check seal condition and verify the scope and quality of past structural and fit‑out refits.

Pros and Cons

  • Pro: Blue‑water capable cruiser with owners reporting long passages and circumnavigations.
  • Pro: Spacious nacelle with generous saloon headroom and flexible 3–4 cabin layouts, including galley‑down options.
  • Pro: Strong value proposition for space and capability on the used market.
  • Con: Heavier and not a performance cat, with more sluggish handling than modern designs.
  • Con: Lower bridgedeck clearance on several models can cause slamming when driving upwind in chop.
  • Con: Age‑related upkeep to watch—potential water ingress, rudder tie‑rod/bearing wear, and saildrive seal condition.
