ZENITH INCAT CROWTHER 38 MOTOR CATAMARAN DUE TO DELIVERY NEXT YEAR


Incat Crowther, is managing, again, a very large Motor Catamaran project named "ZENITH".
Incat Crowther is really specialized in managing fast catamaran and wave-piercer projects both for work and pleasure. They have built "Seafaris", a 41 meter long catamaran for charter, which I have introduced earlier in the blog. They are now buiding "Zenith" at the Sabre Cat in collaboration with Waterline Yacht Design as for "Seafaris". The vessel will be powered by a pair of MTU 12V4000 engines and will cruise at 25 knots, with long range capabilities in excess of 3500nm at lower speeds. Inside, it will feature luxuries such as a large central entrance foyer, king-sized guest staterooms and a gymnasium.

A little bit of history about Incat Crowther :
For those who are familiar with sailing catamarans the name Crowther will remind you of Lock who was a very famous and innovative sailing catamaran designer. (CATANA's first hulls design were inspired by Lock Crowther). Lock teamed up with Incat design to create Incat Crowther for the work boat market and transfered his knowledge to motor catamarans. Incats design created the first Wave Piercers. When Lock passed away in 1993, his son Brett took over.

Here is a link to some of Lock Crowther's sailing catamarans designs and look at the hull shape of the Crowther 44.

SEAFARIS - A 41 METER LUXURY MOTOR CATAMARAN






SEAFARIS, winner of the 2007 World Superyacht Awards, is a very easthetic 41 meter catamaran. She comes out of the drawings of famous Incat Crowther, with an interior by Altis Architecture/Water Line Yacht Design and was launched in 2006 at Forgacs Shipyard (Australia). SEAFARIS, owned by a property developper who was very involved with all the design and building process of the yacht, is available for charter on The Great Barrier Reef. The huge master suite and the 4 guests state rooms are all located on the main deck with a large view on the sea. Overall, thanks to SEAFARIS width and well though layout, the interior offer a lot more than on a 41 meter monohulls. The interior features lots of art contemporary artworks.


SEAFARIS website is really great with lots of information. One the opening page you have access to the videos and in the plan&press section you can download all the technical information as well as the charter brochure.


I like this motor catamaran. It really seems to have been designed for relaxation and fun.
