STEALTH 36E POWER CATAMARAN

The challenge of lightness

Presented at the last Thailand Yacht Show, this powercat built by Asia Catamarans uses a sailing catamaran platform with very narrow hulls (designed by Alan Carwadine) and advocates stripping everything bare to keep to a very tight weight limit - 2 to 3 tonnes depending on the version.
