The main bulkheads are then fixed to one panel, stood up and the other panel is fixed to them. Pull the bow together and then the stern to the transom. Square up diagonally the main bulkheads and brace. Fit chine stringers and measure and fit remaining bulkheads(cut two at once of everything so both hulls are the same)Fit and cut bottom panel (two again)Now make and fit keels (you could fit daggerboards if you prefer but I believe the long flat surface of the chine gives lateral resistance) as it is easier without the chine panel. Now fit and cut chine panels (four this time) Glass and finish then flip. Fit pre-made crossbeams and do internal fitout then do cabin/decks/hatches etc.

Pretty self explanatory but the four main panels are simply sheets of ply with the stringers and bulkhead positions glued and fixed in position (liquid nails and nail gun) then rot proofed and
flipped over and glassed and finished on the floor.

Cockpit/saloon is all done on the floor and jacked and bolted in place and then saloon cabin is made and fitted. Sounds simple? Well it really is compared to strongbacks then stringers fitted over frames etc. This boat was designed around the rig that I had bought from a wrecked boat for $800 and was more an experiment than anything to prove to a couple of people that I probably am WACKED but not afraid to back my self. more

I have to admit that the Waller concept had a lot of influence on the actual design but it was drawn up on the back
of a beer carton after a few stubbies(still got it somewhere) I think I have proven (at least to myself) that you don't have to spend your life savings and spend years to get out there and do it. here

The Lagoon 400S2 has been on the market for a couple of years and is extremely popular. The S2 has decent performance with a lot of interior volume as can be seen here in the specifications. It has the biggest volume of the five 40ft catamaran models. This volume is said (by the competition) to translate into less performance but judging from rallies held around the world, it seems that the Lagoon really holds it’s own. Judging by the feedback from delivery skippers and owners on performance, the 400S2 makes a good performing cruising yacht. The interior is luxurious, accommodations are spacious and the cockpit is a nice size, easy to sail and good for a live aboard couple. here

*Options are available in engines, sails, cabin/head configurations and other options like generators, watermakers, etc.

The Leopard 40 (video) is heavier than the other models. The bridgedeck clearance is lower than those seen on French or Canadian cruising catamarans. Their philosophy is that a lower bridgedeck reduces the boat’s center of gravity with a wider stern to provide more buoyancy aft. However, a higher bridgedeck clearance translates into less slamming. We have owned cats with lower and higher clearances and a higher bridgedeck clearance definitely has less slamming. Read this article about bridgedeck clearance to make your own informed decision. here

Stephen and I are always exploring new catamaran models so we can share our insights with you. The information below continues to be valid, but we have a new 40ft catamaran comparison of later models for you to peruse.

Sunreef Yachts, the world's leading luxury catamaran yacht builder, now offers an entire eco-friendly range for green, sustainable cruising. Sunreef's dedication to the environment is second-to-none in the industry, and while every step is taken to ensure every boat leaves as little carbon footprint as possible, the commitment to the owner experience never falters.

The Sunreef shipyard has also designed and manufactured their very own solar panels that can be easily mounted on the yacht's hardtop or other surfaces (including on the mast and sails for sailing catamarans). These solar panels are completely state-of-the-art and can be fully-customized to fit to any application. Even removing the solar panels for maintenance is effortless. It's never been easier for yacht owners to harness the energy from the sun to power your yacht's equipment and accessories, while also protecting the environment. Sunreef's industry-leading research and design teams are also currently working on a system to recover heat from the solar panels that will heat up the yacht's boiler. here

If solar and hydro-generating power aren't enough, Sunreef is also capable of harnessing the wind. Your Sunreef Yacht can be outfitted with wind turbines which allows your yacht to charge its batteries even when it's cloudy. Wind turbines harness energy at the dock or anchored as well! They are generally placed high above the yacht to maximize the power of the wind. [links]

“We had a successful year, as we enjoyed huge support from our clients, yachting experts and, of course, media,” said Michael Köhler, Founder and CEO of Silent-Yachts. “We sold four Silent 80 catamarans, which are now under construction and on track for the 2020 summer deliveries and updated the best-selling Silent 55 with several units sold. Now we feel it is the right time to expand our offering.”

SILENT-YACHTS, is an Austrian company that produces oceangoing solar-electric production catamarans, has announced the expansion of its range. The shipyard is adding three new models: The Silent 44, Silent 60 and a tri-deck version of the flagship Silent 80.

[hritzen]

“All three new yachts are very nice additions to our range, and we selected sizes and amenities depending on what our clients are looking for,” Michael Köhler added. “Therefore, the 13-meter Silent 44 will be a solid entry model. The Silent 60 is similar to the 55-footer but with more volume and special features for long-range cruisers. Finally, the three-deck Silent 80 offers a comfortable, spacious panoramic saloon on top. We are going to be revealing more details about these new exciting additions in coming months.”
