Having trouble locating the make, model, or configuration you want? Unsure of what to go for with your next boat, or just plain don't know where to start?! Just email me and I'll throw you a line. Don't go it alone on an adventure when it doesn't cost anything to get some hand holding with your next purchase. [e-mail]

Hey Ben, do you perhaps have performance statistics for this boat? Best 24 hour run, maybe some info on the rig etc

[@BigBensBoatBrokerage]

@@pred7949 regattaguru.com/smyc/100276/class_results/101042 I ah, found results of the SXM Multihull Challenge! It placed 3rd overall.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Thanks for a tour of a very interesting and different boat.

[@reynaldneron9012]

18:17 Its the first time of my life I see a traveller running the entire 'length' of a boat ;)

[@russellesimonetta9071]

Very cool! Great for express run to the carib!

[@svZia-Switch51]

This would be a blast to sail but not a candidate for liveaboard, at least not for me! Great seeing my old marina again. Thanks!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Interesting, interior wise its very like the Maine Cats.. 38 and 41 ones like the fully enclosed control and sailing deck. 😎 Practical safe long distance pace maker. Interesting, though the ultra narrow hulls do limit the flexibility of the below decks. Pretty good and safe engine access for underway dealings...

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Amazed to hear this is still for sale

[@jamesaron1967]

I like how you call a simple modest bunk a "state room". Nice race boat in any case.

[@MrJhchrist]

Racers are lucky if they get a bunk, this one has mattresses and even cushioned seats and lockers! Not to mention doors. Take a look at the footage from The Ocean Race, those poor sods just live in a heap below deck.

[@jamesaron1967]

@@MrJhchrist I've seen tons of race footage over the years. I'm aware what a real race boat is like. It may not be an IMOCA 60 but this isn't a standard cruiser because it happens to have cushions and some doors. Its accommodations are spartan at best. Like I said nice boat, but I wouldn't be comfortable on it for more than a long holiday weekend excursion. Call it what you like, it's all semantics anyway.

Cockpit windows without frames is an accident waiting to happen.

[@jamielancaster01]

It was built by cat man’s cat or Kathmandu?

[@handroids1981]

Kathmandu Man's cat, Kathman Doo Doo

[@jonsahai6207]

Where is all the cold storage?

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

He showed them in the first hull the two latched doors above the engine compartment. Plus you could install a portable unit in the aft of the one hull or under seating on the bridge deck possibly.

What?! No Saildrives? Sign me up!

[@TB12710]

I love this Catamaran, yep it’s simple yet polished, bet she cranks out 25-28 knots easy which is the main goal right! Have fun....😊

[@ammartinezguzman]

28 knots sog?in your dreams...

[@peterfong1556]

Oh the cost of maintenance

[@bernardmauge8613]

Composite is anything but light weight. Watch, he never will mention the weight of the Kat.

[@1corinthians15.1-4kjv]

That for sure must win a design award: As the most horrendous ugly catamaran, that I have ever seen! Were do people live and relax on this one? It is really build for one purpose only and that is to sailing performance, but ridiculously it for sure would be beat on that department to, by many small and nimble trimarans, with folding outriggers, so they fit in a regular marina. You can not tell me, that people should pick this ugly boat over those also trailable trimarans, because of the accommodation, because it virtually got none!

[@JosephOster]

Your pronunciation of "Morrelli" is so wrong...

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Yes, he pronounced it like Morley. Italian is really easy. Should be More-ell-ee.

[@handroids1981]

More-eels-eee?

[@ammartinezguzman]

Like all condo-marans massive draft at the nacelle

[@handroids1981]

Condo-Maran? Did we watch the same video?! I'd call her a comfortable Race boat.

[@ammartinezguzman]

@@handroids1981 Theres no such thing as comfortable race boat. You may call it good performance cruising but tend to disagree look at the height of the boom, overall rig and draft behind the nacelle producing drag, certainly not a performqnce one. Check any shutelworth design if you want to see a performance cat.
