The B71 Catalyst 50 is under construction with a 5-foot mould extension, hull core installation, cabin build, hull fairing, and bow thruster fitting progressing rapidly.
As Ben is well under way with the 45, he and his team have started on the 50. This necessitated adding the 5-foot mould extension. Catalyst’s can be built to any length, from 42ft (13m) up to 52ft (16m).
