What distinguishes the model

  • The hull is built in vinylester with an Airex foam core and laminated bulkheads, which is water-resistant and durable.
  • With fixed keels, narrow hulls and plenty of sail area, the catamaran sails briskly even in light airs.
  • The shallow draught of 0.95 m opens up shallow anchorages, and 600 l each of diesel and water provide range.
