New Cruising Dazcat Joins the Clan (D1295 XL)

The launch of the new accessible Dazcat 1295 XL, ‘Mangata 5’ has us all agreed – she’s an absolute stunner and our brief test sail laid down the promise of some super sailing to come. She was certainly romping along beautifully in the light winds. Mangata 5 was commissioned by a family with three young children, one of whom has Rett Syndrome. They have found that the children enjoy being on the water and wanted a boat that the whole family could experience together, so they came to Dazcat for an accessible family cruiser. They liked the 1295 but needed a little extra room and some special features and so the XL was created. Mangata 5 has been in build for just over a year, hand crafted from start to finish and in close consultation with her owners throughout the process. The children have been watching Dazcat videos and learning some essential vocabulary since build began! We can’t wait to see the family getting the pleasure they deserve from this latest addition to the Dazcat clan. The video below brings you just a taster of Mangata sailing and some views of her gorgeous lines. We have plenty of test sailing planned, hopefully with some sunshine and breeze, so will be bringing you lots of footage and interior shots in the coming weeks. Well done to teams Dazcat, Multimarine and the Multihull Centre for bringing us another awesome cat.
