Hull #1 of the Longreach 1900 was launched on August 21st, and less than 3 months later, hull #2 was splashed... and this clearly indicates that the Longreach Power Catamarans shipyard, based in Pattaya, Thailand, has found its cruising rhythm, and numerous launches are already scheduled!
Before giving you the full test of the flagship of the range, which also includes a 1200 and a 1400, we can give you a few details. Its hulls feature inverted bows to increase the waterline length as well as ensuring a wave-piercing effect. Deflecting chines keep the deck dry and the robust keels allow for taking the ground. With its long-range tanks, the 58 can extend its range to almost 4,000 nautical miles while maintaining a speed of 8 knots. The flybridge is a friendly space with an immense area for relaxation, a table and a bar with refrigerator/freezer. This upper deck can be completely enclosed aboard the Expedition version. The highlight of the interior has got to be the owner's suite with its king-size bed. Headroom exceeds 6 feet 10 inches (2.1 m) throughout.
