Who said cruising catamarans have to be ugly?

There are two ways to make a cat look sleek - sacrifice bridgedeck headroom or make it more than 50ft loa.

The Alliaura Privilege 495 is not a bad looking cat - and just under 50ft, The secret is the forward nacelle or flying 3rd hull.

I was quite prepared to dislike this boat, but after four weeks on board and a transat I loved it.

Sorry but that is not my idea of a looker!

A British company that does come up with interesting multihull designs is Dazcat:

However I can't say I'm a fan of the 10.5!

There is a very interesting Power 15 mobo Dazcat here:
