A Word From The Designers
Performance is the backbone of this design. Conceived with comfortable cruising in mind, but able to "kick it up a notch" and move with speed when desired. Modern hull forms, with the latest generation curved C daggerboards incorporate design learnings from recent America's Cup campaigns. Full carbon fiber composite sandwich construction produces a hull and structure of incredible strength and stiffness, while interior construction of lightweight cored panels, finished with exquisite veneers of both wood and stone, results in the highest quality interior finish.
In the words of the designers:
"The HH66 represents the evolution of Morrelli and Melvin's 25 years of performance catamaran designs. We blended lessons gained from three America's Cup campaigns, around the world records, 24 hour records, and over 25 custom cruising cat designs, for discerning owners, from 46ft to 90ft. We have listened to, cruised and raced with our clients to understand their needs, and incorporate these ideas and features into the design of the HH66 Super Cat.
In collaboration with Hudson Yacht's international team of design engineers and builders, we have strived to bring the best equipment, building materials and techniques to this next generation performance luxury cruising cat.
Utilizing state of the art, light and strong materials, allows us to maintain an unusually high degree of luxury finishes and details, not normally found in performance cruising cats. The HH66 is a light and strong race boat in disguise, so owners can enjoy all the comforts of home, to make any time spent on board luxurious, fun and safe."
