Catamaran Sailing
Lifetime Adventures
Description
This ultra-modern Fast Cruising Catamaran is the result of design collaboration between Anton Du Toit of Du Toit Yacht Design, Angelo Lavranos, St Francis Catamarans, and feedback from brokers and customers.
The St Francis pedigree is reflected in the protected Helm Station, spacious interior and the same outstanding performance characteristics as the St Francis 50 sister ship which was awarded ‘boat of the year’.
The St Francis 46 has been designed as a live aboard for blue water cruising that can be sailed shorthanded on long passages in comfort and safety. The St Francis Marine standard of excellence has been maintained throughout.
The extra-large windows in the Saloon and Galley give excellent all-round vision. The large sliding door and window between the Galley/Saloon and cockpit area allows them to be combined into a large, covered entertainment area with a TV screen that can be swivelled for all to see comfortably.
Available in 3 Cabin Owners version or 4 Cabin version, the standard of excellence with meticulous attention to detail for which St Francis Marine is known, has been maintained throughout.
