Aluminium-Katamaran 12m / 40ft

Aluminium-Katamaran 12m / 40ft, årg. 1989, skrogmateriale Aluminium, Diesel, hjemhavn Rostock (Tyskland), Aluminum catamaran for sale - Seaworthy, comfortable and fully equipped

We are selling our faithful aluminum catamaran, built in 1989/90, which has given us many wonderful years on the water.
The boat was regularly used and maintained - 13 years of reliable, safe and stable use.
Ideal as a ready-to-sail long-distance vessel, for beginners or couples with a thirst for adventure.

This is a really safe and seaworthy ship. During construction and design, the focus was on use on the North Sea and longer distances. The design is such that the rear skegs, which protect the propeller and rudder blades, are also the lowest point of the boat. If you run aground in shallow water, the ship does not turn or sheer off. The front bollards are a continuous thick-walled tube that is welded to the hulls down to the bottom of the keel. You could hang the whole boat on a bollard. The floor plates are 8 mm thick. The floor area is additionally protected by a 5 meter long and 20 cm wide plastic plank. This has proved its worth when falling dry. The upstands are made of 6 mm thick material. All joints are rounded, which is particularly advantageous in the forward area where the hulls meet the deck in rough seas.
The sides are 4 mm thick, the deck plates 3 mm. The hulls have frames every 50 cm and stringers every 30 cm. The underwater hull is primed and then painted 3 times with tar epoxy. The entire underwater hull has a rubber skin.
The centerboards are made of plywood, covered with synthetic resin. In the event of a crash, the centerboards would break, but the sides would remain intact.
The entire concept is designed with safety in mind. As already mentioned, it is a safe cruising boat. We have always calculated long trips at 6 miles an hour and there was always plenty of room.
So if you're looking for a boat that runs at 20 knots, you're in the wrong place. I had the fastest log at 12 knots for several hours in fantastic conditions. 6 from a room sheet and few waves.
But in general, the hull speed is around 8 knots. And it usually doesn't go above that.
