Four Winns TH36

The bow-rider with two hulls

Long awaited, the TH36 is the Four Winns interpretation of the powercat. A new model that attempts to marry the world of the bow rider (a motorboat offering a second, distinct living area on the foredeck, accessed typically via an opening in the windshield) with that of the catamaran, guaranteeing a high level of versatility and comfort.

At full speed, this powercat is the real deal! We owe its successful styling to two magicians: the Garroni studio for the design and Marc Lombard for the hull. The hard-top lends a sporty look to it all and supports the various antennas and radomes.

Seen from ahead, the TH36 gives the impression of power, with sturdy, slender bows and a thick nacelle.

Viewed from the side, it’s hard to tell this is a catamaran! The Four Winns looks more like a big bow-rider.

After the renewal of the H series, this time Four Winns is presenting something totally new, since it’s a catamaran. In fact, the idea was to propel the brand into the future by giving it a more international dimension, but without breaking its image or denying its DNA. What’s more, the team in charge wanted to find a way to support their customers’ progression by offering them a larger model. After much deliberation, the choice fell on a catamaran, called TH (Twin Hull) by the manufacturer. The multihull segment is booming, with some...
