Catamaran Design

Any idea what design or who the builder is of this catamaran?
Any help would be much appracated.

 

It looks like a racer not a cruiser. Problem is there's so many of them. You could google for it and then just work through the couple o million returns...

Maybe someone here recognizes it... or even owns it

 

Looks like the lightspeed 32

 

Spot on Deepsix !

Well done Fanie, for a jaapie a long way from where the lightspeeds come from! And I don't think we have one in this country!

Only one lightspeed has been built, the prototype is still in development

 

The daggerboards and rudders seems both very slim. It seems these guys expect to reach high speeds with it...

 

The design is clearly performance oriented, but it appears to be designed to be a little more forgiving that some other boats. It could never be called a cruiser, but its not a fullout racer either. I see it as a compromise between amateur racer and more casual daysailer. The website reports top speeds of a little under 25kts, but 20kts seems pretty common.

 

Thanks for picking the design. The rear beam is about as far aft as you could possibly mount it. Being right on the transom, just a little different to most designs.

Cheers
