"Jabulo" is a 2002 Dean 440 catamaran, built by Dean Catamarans in Capetown, South Africa. She has been our full time live-aboard cruising home in French Polynesia for the past 3 years, however health concerns now mean we must change our lifestyle. In the pursuit of extreme seaworthiness, all Dean Catamarans feature very buoyant full bows with the bridge deck carried well forward and small trampoline area. They feature asymmetrical hulls, where the outside curvature is much greater than the inner hull curvature, resulting in a reduced wave forming action between the hulls (reduced venturi effect). This, coupled with a high bridge deck clearance dramatically reduces under bridge deck slamming, while also improving overall performance. Another feature of Dean Catamaran's are the mast which is raked aft by 7 degrees. This unusual feature assists both the yachts upwind performance, and its ability to tack through the wind without the difficulties associated with some other catamarans. We have loved "Jabulo" for many things. Firstly the Dean 440 sets a perfect mix of space, comfort and performance. We will sail rings around a 'condo-cat', yet still be comfortable and controllable enough to enjoy doing it. Secondly, the boat is galley-down which gives so much more comfort and usable space than the charter oriented galley-up The boat has been imported into French Polynesia and so can remain here forever, for short holiday stays or long term cruising in the best cruising area in the world. Alternatively kick off your trip of a lifetime from here - the boat is fully fitted out and ready to go (just bring your toothbrushes). https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/dean-440-4/

We are seeing a growth in interest in aluminium catamarans at the moment. It's definitely a trend. The Eyecat 55 is one of the more impressive launches of the past couple of years. Aluminium is hard wearing, will last longer and is strong enough for off-the-track sailing. It's also going to help your resale values and has a lower environmental impact. ?? This aluminium 55 footer is built in the Netherlands and has two electric motors, an aluminium hull, solar panels and a water maker, a customisable boat set up for blue water cruising. ?? The #1 hull was set up with twin aft helms and a forward lounge. ?? LOA 17.68 m LOD 16.75 m LWL 16.11 m BEAM 8.40 m DRAFT 1.60 m BRIDGE DECK HEIGHT 1.15 m DISPLACEMENT (LIGHTLOAD) 18.500 kg ?? eyecatamarans #aluminium #yachts #ecosailing #catamaran #multihull
