What happened to gunboat catamarans. Our brandnew Gunboat 60 Catamaran. Perhaps Gunboats finest project to date which is saying a lot for a brand renown as the worlds finest in luxury-performance catamarans. The first Gunboat 55 catamaran Rainmaker dismasts and is abandoned in the Atlantic 5 crewmembers airlifted The first new Gunboat 55 RAINMAKER dismasted on 30 January 200 miles southeast of Cape.

On the other end of the spectrum the performance world had embraced. At that time the cruising catamaran market was composed of comfortable cruisers that typically werent great performers. I think shes the best looking Gunboat.

Rainmaker was dangerously close to being sucked into the ships propeller. She looks like an E-Type Jag on the water with that long bow. Photo credits Travis Rice.

Gunboat International a North Carolina builder of luxury carbon fiber sailing catamarans is suing a yard in China that it had contracted to build its largest models saying some work was never done and that the yard refused to pay warranty claims on other poorly constructed yachts it had built allegedly costing the company about 10 million. Students of history will remember that Amaryllis was promptly banned from organized racing mostly because she whipped the monohulls. The crew was lifted off the boat around 5 pm.

However this Gunboat 55 delivers. After 19 years in publication Sailing Anarchy has remained true to its roots as a community oriented edgy sailing publisher. Company owner Peter Johnstone reports the decision followed a two year period of adverse business circumstances.

This shimmering gold metallic Gunboat 55 launched in February 2015 in time for the Miami Boat Show and the owners busy 2015 Caribbean cruising and racing schedule. Herreshoff didnt necessarily mean to spark a yacht-design revolution when he launched the catamaran Amaryllis in 1875 but thats exactly what happenedeventually. Models currently listed on YachtWorld range in size and length from 55 feet to 80 feet.
