The forward master cabin location aboard all Privilege Catamarans is a defining design feature.
A review of the design features that make the Privilege 510 catamaran helm perfect for long-distance, all-weather sailing.
There is little doubt that the Privilege 5 Series has an outstanding reputation. So how do you make a great boat even better?
One of the biggest questions sailors have when leaving for an offshore passage is what to bring with them. For John and Noelia, the answer way easy: bathing suits, lots of bathing suits, and boat shoes.
During the hive of activity in the hull, the deck is being layed up. The deck is more laborious than the hull due to its seemingly endless nooks and crannies.
Bulkhead and component installation. Most components such as fuel and holding tanks are installed along with much of the furniture before the deck is connected to the hull.
The Privilege 580 catamaran is a completely new design. The only thing it shares with the former 585 is the designer, Marc Lombard. The result is the most versatile vessel to ever come out of the Privilege boatyard.
Every day aboard can be different, and so can the salon on the new Privilege 640. The Lounge, The Zen, Dining and Super Dining configurations are all part of the innovative and flexible interior layout aboard.
Launch and Improvements. The last step in preparing to launch the new boat is to apply the bottom paint. In this case the owners decided on Coppercoat with its promise of less maintenance.
The Privilege 510 hull #1 was recently launched and is now being commissioned. We’ll soon have pictures that will highlight the improvements to what was already a serious bluewater passagemaker.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by or joined us at the Miami International Boat Show. Thanks also to Keith, Renee, Anna, Jack, Finn & Kate from Sailing Zatara for taking the time to ‘meet & greet’ fans of their YouTube sailing channel.
The really good news about the new 510 is that it isn’t a completely new design. The hull from the former 5 Series has changed little as it has proven to be a solid design for long distance, liveaboard cruising.
Taking delivery of a new Privilege catamaran is understandably a thrilling event. For many it can also be very stressful. Rob and his captain Brett, however, arrived better prepared than most.
It could not have gone better; the perfect mix of people enjoying the same ambition and a location famous for its world class sailing.
The number of people we met at this year’s Miami Boat Show who plan to live aboard was exceptional.
Thanks to all who visited us at the La Grande Motte boat show and Palma show. 3 cities, 2 deliveries and 2 great shows!
