This
is a great place to start if you ever wanted a custom
catamaran…saving over 2 years of construction time.
Now, about the custom catamaran.....This cat is 86' long and 42'
wide and with keels and can be beached or set on a spit at low tide
to do clean up or repaint bottoms. She is a custom composite
catamaran built with Airex foam core, tri- and bi-axial fabric and
Vinylester resin, carbon fiber and epoxy resin, Kevlar where
needed for beaching.
We are continuing the build, and she is in final fairing for
painting. Forebeam has been installed and the drop down
beaching ladder which will allow the front bow net to be ordered.
The aft deck shower and bathroom being completed while the aft deck
bar or lounging area has not been started yet, that whole layout
will be up to the new owner. Forward crew quarters are about
finished as seen in photos. Engines are installed (Twin 315 HP
Yanmar diesels), watermaker is here, 1800 GPD, more than a gallon
per minute when running. Heat and A/C will be water chiller
type system as well as conventional heat pump type. The radar arch
will also handle an awning for the upper aft deck lounging.
Draft is about 5' with keel, rudders (Carbon fiber posts) and
props (full feathering and adjustable pitch) also hang down.
The planned colors are metallic 2 stage PPG paint, dark grey around
windows, bronze hulls and light Gold Champagne topsides, all with
clear coat. This cat is 100% foam core construction.
She is virtually unsinkable, she does not sweat and is 33%
stronger under impact than solid fiberglass or aluminum, and is
about 30% lighter.
The electric engine controls are located on the port and starboard
aft deck as well as the helm station. There is a bow thruster
controller and refueling station with tank quantity gauge and back
splash protection fill boxes located there as well. Fresh
water inlets are eye level on each side from the dock, electric
inlet is through the engine room port window and the waste pump
outlets on each side at eye level and easy access from the dock or
from a pump out boat. Lots of thought went into everything as
well as our 20,000 mile of cruising experience.
She will be a cutter rig with the 2 sails up front, roller furling
(electric/hydraulic.) All
sails handled from helm as well as at the mast. The bow nets
are large and comfortable and she also has a Parachute Sea Anchor
system.
Main salon is one level with the galley aft port, but is not built
yet. There are two large pass through windows that open to the
outside bar and BBQ area for parties on the aft deck. Counters can
be whatever height you want as well as center island if wanted, lots
of room about 1,000 sq. ft. up here. Double entry doors are
planned swinging inward with about 5' width when both opened.
All forward salon windows are flush hatches and can be opened for
more fresh air. Below the front window is a shelf seat that also
acts as a Dorado box that allows air inside when all the opening
windows across the front of the salon are closed. Heat and A/C for
starboard side state rooms is well under way. Each room has its own
air outlet, fans cooling or heating.
The Owner’s stateroom is located on the main salon, bed and closets,
about 225 sq. ft. Stairs down to the bath area which has a 6'
wide walk-in shower. The bathroom area is 15' front to back
and over 8' wide and has a 6' long counter with opening ports at eye
level on the outboard side. On the inboard side, the closets
have back panels that remove to access the train of food Totes as
the underwing and salon floor are separated about 21" tall and 30"
wide tunnels.
The other three guest staterooms under the main salon are under the
floor with queen size beds, one of which can be two single beds or a
queen, all 15' long and 8' wide. Each stateroom has their own
shower, toilet, sink, and counter with opening ports and air
conditioning. There are two crew quarters at the front of each
bow each with queen beds, shower, head and settee.
There are 4 fresh water tanks installed at this time, 50 gallons
each with room to install more. The fuel tanks built in under
hull floors are 1,000 gallon each. There are two 500 gallon
black water hold tanks and the heads are 24 VDC with Macerator
and valve for over board empty when off shore or they can be pumped
at waste stations.
Pilot house is open to aft deck, about 3' high off aft deck and
quite wide for the 2 helm chairs. Stairs lead up and out to the
upper aft deck lounge area with a sundeck. The pilot house windows
all open and has moon roof sliding hatches overhead as well as
removable side windows. Main sail boom handled at the helm
behind Captain’s seat with the electric winch control for head sails
located on the front panel bulkhead. The aft radar arch was planned
to have an extendable awning to provide aft upper deck shade.
The aft lower deck can have a large bar, dining and lounging areas,
has an aft head, shower, bar and ample seating with storage,
whatever you want. There are lots of indirect lighting
planned, under the walkway on each side heading forward where the
electric hatches are for access to large crew quarters. Main
salon windows are tinted dual pane insulated tempered glass.
Aft boarding stairs lift up electrically to house more toys; on the
starboard side, a 16' Triumph center console shore launch and on the
port side, two Yamaha Waverunners can be electric winched on board.
A 15' RIB is crane hoisted up onto aft deck. There are two gas
tanks for the toys, 50 gallon each, to be located on aft deck and
gravity filling. Aft boarding platforms have flush pull out
and drop down, dive ladders and each side.
There are fresh water showers planned for the aft area as
well.
The twin 315 HP Yanmar diesels are electronic controlled.
Hydraulic steering, bow thruster, drop down front beaching ladder,
electric anchor windlass and 2 Aluminum anchors. There are two
diesel 11 & 13k gen. sets and are in the engine room with sound
shields as well as each hull has its own 18 gal electric/heat
exchange hot water tank.
Engine rooms are well lighted and stand up head room and when toys
removed, floors drop down to allow dive rooms. The
Racor dual fuel filter system is easily monitored and if needed can
be switched with handle to allow new filter to be in use and the old
one changed out later. Engines have their own battery which
cannot be used by other things and also is equipped with a ACR
(automatic charging relay) that will allow it to charge other
batteries after its own is topped off. The engines are fresh
water cooled as are the 2 generators. Battery compartment
under the helm has dry cell Optima 31 DP 12vdc with 1125 amps each
and plenty of room to add more. The batteries are 24V located in
anchor compartment for the windlass and 24V toilets.
She is well underway and plans for everything above the water line
are being made. The slide show will be updated as we go and a
lot of this will make since then and as the concept artists help put
the ideas in sketches. She
is available for viewing 7 days a week and phone # is 7/24 and
e-mails answered daily.
