CASSIOPEIA BY CONSTELLATION YACHT

Florida based Constellation Yacht is building a 70 foot catamaran "Cassiopeia", a long distance, fast and confortable yacht, designed by Walter Schurtenberger.



Walter Schurtenberger is an experienced designer and boat builder. He has taken part to the building process of some of the fastest racing multihulls in the world, collaborating with Nigel Irens, Mike Birch and Walter Green. He is also a keen sailor. On Cassiopeia's website, he explains how this luxury catamaran is built using composite technology to insure performance and strength. Cassiopeia can sail the world heaven in heavy weather.

The platform is huge with a lot of space and light in the Salon, the Galley, the Dining room and the protected cockpit. The interior can be completely customized in any way the client wishes.

I find it odd that there are no sugar scoops on the transoms. How are people to board her?

You are right and the transoms are very narrow for such a large cat, I am thinking about boarding and also diving equipement, unloading guests..... I guess they will add some kind of steps.
Thanks for your comment
