Maverick 440 Bossa Nova filmed on anchor outside of Hope Town Harbour in the Bahamas in Feb 2015. The draft of the Maverick 440 is just on 1 meter / or just over 3 ft, so it has the shallowest draft of any fixed keel cruising catamaran in its class. You can see this as the yacht is in just on 4ft of water. The shallow draft if you access to move anchorages, more locations, and a higher safety margin when you sailing around in the tropical islands.
Bit of a follow-up to my previous post, this is what it looks like when the tide changes... We spent a week in this spot and each day we'd twice go through this cycle of the boat first being up high and dry and then a few hours after floating again. Just having the opportunity to look at all the life sprawling in this intertidal zone up close each day really makes you appreciate the tide cycles on a whole new level.
