CIRCA 24 - MOLLYMAWK BOAT REVIEW

When Circa Marine decided they wanted to build their own long range, fast passagemaker, they teamed up with fellow Kiwi’s, Craig Loomes and Andre Moltschaniwsky of LOMOcean Marine.
Mollymawk, is the first boat to be launched from the new Circa passagemaker series, a fully NZ designed and built vessel, that will provide safe, efficient ocean cruising with comfort and ease of operation. Mollymawk, built for an Australian client is the first of two, Circa 24m, vessels in construction, with the second for a European based owner, due for launching later this year.
This is a very unique vessel that combines practicality with simplicity, yet offers all the comforts of an apartment on the water. Underway at cruising speeds the sound levels onboard make for very comfortable cruising at only 50dB in the saloon and the lower deck accommodations reading 46dB forward and 55dB aft.
Mollymawk was designed in response to a brief defined by Circa Marine for a robust, safe, economical, long range, passage maker, without excessive complexity.

Thank you for the presentation. Great looking yacht. Reminds me of a Dashew FPB and now the Arnsen, with utility on the outside, and cozy simplicity on the inside.

[@med-3000]

Inspired by a Dashew FPB. There are a lot of designs that are inspired by the original FPBs by Mr & Mrs Dashew. Lots of similarities but different. Both nice.

[@ZoneTelevision]

Agreed.

[@PrimateParty]

So not a Dashew boat. Too bad they couldn't continue the FPB line. Hopefully the new ones will be similar quality given hopefully being made in the same yard.

[@chippyjohn1]

I think they assisted in the build of the FPB boats.

[@Gramatic69]

Dashew FPB is way nicer.

[@gendaminoru3195]

amazing the oblique manner in which he refers to passage making aficionados... ! Also not showing much under the water line, but me thinks he may have licensed some info from El Stevo now that he is retired from building. I have to say they murdered the superstructure though. YIKES!

[@dhollongstreet4725]

Glad to see a maker has picked up on the design and brought it into production.

[@orangeruffian]

Complete with murder table...Round those edges, mate...

[@official_dplanet]

Absolutely beautiful

[@aswan2140]

And not a single mention of the GENIUS design by Steve Dashew. The FPB looks much better anyway. Sorry

[@Simres-bx7lq]

Better looking it is not, FPB's are famous for beeing ugly.

[@beartiger1553]

It’s nothing like an fpb

[@rb2712]

​@@beartiger1553 not true. Saloon is almost identical. Also unpainted aluminum

[@joshlower1]

Steve dashew retired, he's no longer relevant

[@toddtulk8097]

love it!

[@masterspacetime2826]

Looks to me like the superstructure is way too tall and does not look like it has self-righting capability like a FPB

[@chippyjohn1]

its not about height but weight and displacement. If it is tall and lite and water tight it would aid in self righting properties.

[@joshlower1]

It self rights

[@tonyd9799]

Nice to see FPB copies but they are all still fat and slow compared to the real thing.

[@body5in]

How different is it from dashews 78

[@hudsondonnell444]

I guarantee it's based on Steve's designs, the FPB's were designed by Steve Dashew, but they were built in New Zealand by Circa. I would love to own an FPB around 130 ft in length.

[@stephenpaquet]

Well 24 m is 78 feet so I would say they’re quite a bit similar. Lol

[@ulrichkristensen4087]

I like i want must work harder

[@Gramatic69]

they copied the Dashew FPB design. Im not surprised because the FPB yachts were built in New Zealand.

[@brinkee7674]

Built by the same company Circa Marine nz

[@joshlower1]

Circa built all of the fpbs

[@Gramatic69]

@@joshlower1thank you for making my point lol

[@TheMikesylv]

To bad it’s revisited 1990 contemporary all white which will quickly go out of fashion as it did in the 90s

[@fifthof1795]

So you won't be buying one then?

[@brucejulian1242]

Incredible, billionaires only club

[@540chevhell9]

Billionaire's don't buy tin toys like this. They buy 90 metre steel Feadships.

[@BaldKiwi117]

No necessarily. This is a small boat for the billionaires

[@joshlower1]

These are cheap boats

[@markl8111]

I'd like to see a 70 ft catamaran, in the same vein. Hybrid, solar, fuel cell. Not fancy, utility, comfort and high tech

[@j.muckafignotti4226]

You mean a complete engineering oxymoron.

[@maximerousseau]

In a just world the Dashew estate would live like kings for generations for their contributions to the passage maker world. To be honest this one just doesn’t have the FPB elegance. Too much volume high up imo.

[@masterspacetime2826]

Those rich aholes did just fine in life.

[@couttsw]

FPB Copy

[@joshlower1]

It's made by the same company that built all the fpbs you dingus.

[@Andbo-88]
