Ben and his dedicated team have commenced construction on not one, but two Catalysts 45s.
Following our announcement late last year of a build for an America’s Cup syndicate, we have now started the build for a second team.
The versatility of design of these high-performance boats is such that they can be customised to meet a multitude of Client needs. See the concept render at the bottom of the page. This Catalyst "Weekender" was developed for a customer wanting a fast boat they could spend the weekend on. This design includes a master cabin, head, shower, two single berths, bow sun deck and swim stairs lowering from the bow.
