Tout sur : Dazcat Catamarans

The Cornwall-based manufacturer has decided to refocus its 40 to 55-foot range. Out goes the Dazcat 1095, 1195 and 1895, and we now welcome the launch of the Ocean Cruiser range, with a first model, the 55, just announced.

Darren Newton, the designer-builder of the Dazcat range, likes to validate his work by racing his catamarans, even those (such as the 1295) that are oriented towards blue water cruising. Designed to sail far and long-term with a short-handed crew, the 12.95 is also often the fastest in a race, even on a technical course. The designer and shipyard are very exacting on the weight calculations and weight centering. As with all Dazcats, each owner has a margin of customization according to his or her program. This is a most talented cat! Full test in Multihulls World 187.
