These models are at the top end of the performance spectrum, pitting them against Cure, HH and ORC Catamarans. The designers have focused on creating a sleek, understated but instantly recognizable design. These boats will offer numerous customization options.
Initial images reveal a pronounced inverted deck sheer, very fine bows, a long bowsprit and an aft-set coachroof with an aerodynamic profile. The Aion boast very light displacement thanks to their meticulous composite construction - these catamarans will of course be equipped with daggerboards to optimize performance close to the wind and reduce the wetted surface area as required when on other points of sail.
