"Rafoly" is a luxurious blue water performance sailing catamaran "penned" by Jean-Jacques Coste. It offers a high level of comfort, safety and ease of handling. A timeless design with modern and elegant lines that blend perfectly with the interior are the outstanding features of this 28.20 m "full custom" sailing catamaran. "Rafoly" will find admiring glances in any marina or anchorage.
DESCRIPTION
The overall width of 13.00m is kept within reasonable dimensions to allow access to most marinas. The high bridge deck clearance reduces noise from waves. The covered living area is a substantial 150 m².
The exceptional stability of the catamaran makes for very comfortable sailing in open seas. The shallow draft allows anchoring near sandy beaches, but also opens up cruising areas that were previously inaccessible to yachts of this size. Safety, privacy, space is another important point.
Hulls, deck, deckhouse and the entire structure are built from certified Sealium® aluminium. Safe, strong, reliable and robust! Alternatively also available in high-tech composite material.
The result is a stable, homogeneous and torsion-resistant structure without the annoying creaking noises that can occur with GRP structures or mixed forms such as hulls made of aluminium/deck and superstructure made of GRP in rough seas. Every Catamaris® aluminium catamaran is equipped with continuous, highly effective insulation.
The bow tips can also be designed as negative stem to extend the waterline to allow wave piercing as a "wave piercer": When waves come from the front, the catamaran is not lifted, it does not lean and therefore does not lose speed.
