Building the first ‘Broadblue Rapier 550’ at Multimarine
Cornish company Multimarine are the UK’s leading multihull design and construction specialists. Their new ground-breaking vessel, the Broadblue Rapier 550, is currently under construction at their Millbrook yard and is designed to combine exceptionally fast cruising with the capability to cover high mileages when sailing shorthanded. The finished boat will have a light-ship displacement of 9.5t with a full-load displacement of 15t. As with all catamarans, hitting target weight is crucial to maintaining performance.
