THE GRAND RANDONNEUR DESIGNED BY CATATHAI

Catathai, based in Thailand, is offering a whole range of sailing and motor catamarans, to meet the needs of devotees of simple, but distant cruising...

The latest boat from the builder is the Grand Randonneur, a 15m by 7.8m catamaran, designed by Patrick Balta. This spacious but very light cat should offer some good average speeds. The proof: a sister ship currently being built at St. Malo, France in its Open version, and should be at the start of the Route du Rhum...

Finally, the builder is currently working on an 11-metre cruising motor catamaran, which will be designed by the architects Jean & Frasca.
