35ft Jeff Schionning Catamaran – Launched in April 2007!

SOLD

She is a modern composite catamaran designed by Jeff Schionning, a well-known Australian cat designer. Catamaran Builders PTY Ltd in Durban built the hull deck and bulkheads High quality, durable products and materials were used throughout such as AMT epoxy products, Sta-lok rigging fittings, Trojan batteries and Lee sails. She is a light weight yet robust boat, which is simple and safe to operate and maintain. Weight has been kept out of the bows and stern reducing pitching and improving safety in all sea conditions. This also gives a more comfortable ride in rough conditions. She has a responsive tiller and is a pleasure to sail in all conditions. She’s a very user-friendly boat with lots of space for different activities, and private areas in which to relax. A new 35ft Catamaran with all this gear for under half a million – she wont be around for long!
