CONSTRUCTION DIARY
72 ft. Explorer Catamaran
A Spanish company is having a custom-made powerful 72 ft. Catmar Explorer ocean-going cruising catamaran yacht newly built by Catamaris®.
The requirement was for a modern yacht design suitable for sea exploration in the oceans and for charter with crew as well as for circumnavigation. A modern yacht design was required that was suitable for expeditions for marine science expeditions in the oceans and for crewed charters, as well as for circumnavigation. This was successfully planned in collaboration with the architects and designers of Catamaris®, even a laboratory is included in the interior layout.
Using the example of the seaworthy new construction of this Catmar Explorer 72 Cruiser Catamaran made of certified aluminium at our shipyard in Harlingen, Holland, we report on the progress of the individual construction stages.
The construction diary is updated continuously.
2023 January - March
After the precise engineering calculations by our naval architects and designers at Marimecs, the certified aluminium raw material was ordered and then cut into hundreds of dimensionally accurate components by a specialised company and delivered to our shipyard in January. There, the construction of the hulls began. You can see very clearly that the close-fitting frames ensure that the hulls are very stable and perfect for bluewater cruises.
After completion of the hulls and deck, the structure will be turned 180 degrees and the deckhouse and flybridge will also be manufactured from certified aluminium.
At the same time, the construction of the furniture based on the modern interior design began. To this end, one of the best specialist furniture companies for superyachts in Holland first produced a 1:1 model of the aluminium structures, into which the entire interior furnishings are now gradually being manufactured and installed. The finished furniture will then be taken from the raw model and fitted precisely on board the catamaran in our shipyard.
