Owen Clarke Design began as multihull designers, sailors, builders and project managers. Indeed, the first yachts they designed and built were a 35’ racing trimaran and 30’ fast cruising catamaran. One of the company’s founders raced multi’s extensively, including as navigator on a 24m maxi cat and then on a 60’ tri in the 1985 and 1989 Round Europe Races. This beautiful performance ocean cruising catamaran represent their latest thinking; a blend of luxury and performance. OC have taken the requirements of yacht owners and professional skippers to develop what is a refined and stylish new blue water catamaran.
The yacht has the narrowest hull form able to support the payload and accommodation requirements for a vessel of this size. The fast, easily driven hulls are complimented by a highly efficient wing mast, balanced by high aspect ratio dagger boards and rudders for excellent all-round performance. Helming is from an internal helm station with an external working cockpit for all sailing manoeuvres. Comfort features include a large shaded aft covered cockpit for relaxing or dining and a forward dedicated open sun lounge area. The saloon roof incorporates a large solar array, sufficient to supply the hotel system's daily power needs.
Accessing the expansive bridge deck luxury accommodation from either cockpit area reveals saloon seating for 8-10, a fully featured galley and navigation watch station with panoramic views. Sleeping accommodation in the hulls is provided by four generously appointed en-suite double guest cabins (two of which have exterior access to the hull bathing platforms) and a further two twin crew cabins forward with forward cockpit access. An innovative concealed stowage for a custom RIB tender has been incorporated into the central forward sprit fairing with hatches from on deck.
