The Cornwall-based manufacturer has decided to refocus its 40 to 55-foot range. Out goes the Dazcat 1095, 1195 and 1895, and we now welcome the launch of the Ocean Cruiser range, with a first model, the 55, just announced.
The main feature of this Dazcat is the adoption of a forward cockpit/maneuvering station, with the wheel just behind, at the front of the nacelle. Another helm station is located mid-height, to starboard. This new Dazcat maintains a strict weight schedule, with carefully centered masses, and is able to take the ground thanks to its shoal draft when the appendages (carbon daggerboards) are raised. As for the bimini, this has been designed to optimize the surface area of solar panels, which also largely cover the dinghy on its davits. Optionally, the Ocean Cruiser can be propelled by a hybrid diesel/electric drivetrain.
