Largest Sailing Catamaran In The World Launched

Wow, this is great. The largest sailing catamaran in the world was just launched and is conducting sea trials near the factory where it was built. Pendennis of the U.K. is the builder and the design is by Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost (VPLP), the designers of Lagoon catamarans. She is 145' long (44.2 meters) and the buyer is supposed to take delivery at the end of this month. Since all new custom-built yachts have "bugs" to be worked out, this yacht is going through a shake-down period.
Named HEMISPHERE, she only draws 10' she can pull into many bays close to shore. With a beam of 54' she never rocks at anchor and sails flat most of the time. All dinghies and toys are stowed "out of sight" below decks. Her large flying bridge area has lots of seating, a hot tub, the best views and makes a great party platform. The stern area doubles as a watersports activity center and the crew will set you up will all sorts of fun toys. The yacht will be at the Monaco Yacht Show in September and will then start her new career as a charter yacht. Available for Euros 175,000/week she'll spend this winter in the Caribbean and cruise to the South Pacific for the following summer. Contact me for more charter details if you want a truly unique charter vacation.

CATMARANS SOLD RECENTLY

I find it interesting to track the actual selling prices of catamarans. The following list shows all sailing cats sold in the past two months. The list includes Make, model, model-year, asking price (and date listed), selling price (date when sold) and location. So you can see how long it took to sell.

I sold the Executive 73 to an Australian mining company owner. It was a very cool 6 stateroom yacht with daggerboards. He originally wanted a 100' monohull but I showed him that a 70' cat has more room and is easier to handle than a 100' monohull and he was hooked. He bought it and had it sailed from the BVI to Turkey and he and his family joined the boat in France and they had a ball sailing it the rest of the way.

I have full specs and photos on all the following yachts in case you're interested....I can also print these lists of selling prices back for years so if you'd like to see more of this just eMail me.
Notice that many of these boats are taking 1-2 years to sell. If you see an identical price for "Listed US$" and "Sold US$" then the listing agent is hiding the actual selling price...which usually means it went for more than 20% lower than the Listed price....
If you want to know what a boat sold for and know around when it last sold just let me know and I'll try to find it in this private database....Happy Sailing!
