A true performance sailboat needs more than just great design. It requires special building techniques that maximize stiffness and minimizes weight. This is what allows our HH Catamarans to sail in incredibly light air or to push the boat hard in heavy air. But don't try this with an ordinary cruising catamaran. You need a boat built for this type of sailing where no expense has been spared in strengthening and reinforcing the structure, daggerboards, mast and rigging to handle the loads associated with a true performance catamaran. Welcome to cruising with Performance, Luxury and Carbon Construction. Welcome to "Yachting Evolved."
HH44 Interior Design
Join us in La Grande Motte for the International Multihull Show April 20-24. We will be showcasing the gorgeous OC50 SEABBATICAL.
Designing the HH44
The highly anticipated Parallel Hybrid Eco-Drive HH44 is beginning to take shape at the HH yard. Here you can see the completed inner hull mold ready to begin laying up Hull 01, the outer hull mold freshly coated with mold gelcoat, the aft cockpit mold plug awaiting hand finishing for mold making, and the deck mold plug awaiting putty.
The first HH44 is now officially underway, stay tuned for future updates!
The owners previously had a 2013 Fountaine Pajot 44′ catamaran but they swapped it for more speed. A lot more speed! All of the posts on the catamaran build are very interesting (eg some of the 2018 posts).
Looking good
The HH55 catamaran is a performance multihull that has been designed to get you places fast, safely and in style. She’s off the design boards of Morrelli & Melvin who were heavily involved in some of the earlier Gunboat designs such as the Gunboat 48.
With her axe bows, looks like she’s flying along even at anchor. She has more in common with an America’s Cup foiling cat than a charter cruising yacht.
The 55 is built by HH Yachts in China, who specialise in high performance boats (although they have also branched out into a keener priced range called the Ocean Class). Construction methods are at the forefront of the industry, with female molds to reduce weight and a 100 % carbon composite sandwich construction with epoxy infusion for rigidity and strength.
She comes with curved C-foil dagger-boards providing lift at the bow.
Congrats to the RORC Commodore James Neville and the crew of Ino XXX. Neville’s Hudson/Hakes built 42’ took line honors and first place in the Rolex Fastnet IRC One Class. Ino XXX is HH42 #01, a Judel/Vrolijk design built from 100% prepreg carbon fiber by Hudson Yacht & Marine in 2013. This yacht was the birth of the HH partnership and brand, representing the best in technology, design and quality. After this successful launch Hudson and Hakes went on to develop the HH Catamarans line, now recognized worldwide as the benchmark in the performance luxury cruising catamaran segment.
Is this the best performance cruising catamaran under 50ft in the world? We think so!! The HH44 beautifully finished and appointed with modern luxury features one would expect of a SUPERCAT. Comes standard with 3.2kW of solar power, our Hybrid 'ECO Drive' , 43kWh of lithium batteries, all the performance of an electric boat with the reliability of diesel engines. Envious passage making ability, faster than wind speed sailing performance. Extensive carbon fiber reinforcement throughout, Carbon mast, carbon rudders and curved daggerboards... And extremely compeditive pricing, contact HHcatamarans to find out more!
