Catamaran Siam Cat 30

fast cruising

The New “Performance-Cruiser AB SIAM CAT 30’” Sailing catamaran Sailing catamaran is a new design that could be used on both regattas and for family cruise. Main feature of this cat is that can be easily demountable in two separate hull and deck to be shipped with a low cost standard 40 ft container worldwide or to be trailerable on road to reach cruise or race destination. Other required main feature was to have a sailing catamaran really fast and light to participate in all cruises with a solution on a transformable cockpit, that under race is “removed” (open cat) with the two side parts of the deck-cockpit could and flush to the deck, roof removed and boom lowered with a lowest point on the mast to be used with a bigger and more performance race main sail. The other cockpit configuration, to be used on normal sailing purpose like on weekends or coastal cruising can be easily obtained and the cockpit can be fast transformed in a real closed cockpit (like cruising cats) with the two large deck hatches in upper open position that become cockpit rigid sides and with a mounted Sunbrella on aluminum frame roof and highest cruise main sail boom point on mast.Hull shape is similar to many performance sailing cat but with a lighter design displacement to make benefit on race and of the fact “on blue water use”, racing weight will be anyway 200kg less of many competitors including crew. In fact construction is in foam sandwich with a fairly robust layup in vinyl ester resin (Osmosis resistant) that will result in a weight for the boat ready to race.
