Rapido 50 Power Cat

What is equally surprising is that the yard has opted for a very lightweight platform with particularly narrow hulls (maximum width 96 cm / 38¾”!), with the result that a modest powertrain of twin 100 HP motors should make it capable of speeds in excess of 20 knots. As for the superstructures, they take up the entire width and provide a passage to the foredeck via a front door. The draft of less than 1 m (39”) allows access to the most remote bodies of water and the majority inland waterway systems. With a view to reducing fuel consumption, the shipyard is offering a kite option.
