DESIGN & COMPROMISE

A common claim in a yacht sales brochure is that a boat was designed and built with “No Compromise”.

Compromise is the basis of yacht design and construction. There is a saying,” there are three parameters in boats: Performance, Comfort and Price. You can’t have them all - but need to pick two”.

The perfect boat does not exist, as different sailors have different needs. This is why we offer the MC²Catamarans as a semi-custom built catamarans. A full custom, expensive one-off built design might be the perfect boat for one particular owner, but they will still will have to compromise in some aspects of the design and construction.

Designing a boat is a constant decision process over compromises. A compromise between performance and comfort - do you get more interior space and sacrifice some speed? A compromise between performance and prices - do you get four carbon winches instead of aluminum ones - but for double the price?

Even America’s Cup campaigns with enormous budgets continuously trade-off between cost and performance gain.

We have clearly designed the MC²60 with high performance as the absolute priority - and believe we have achieved the right compromise on comfort and price.

The MC²53, MC²60 and MC²78 were not designed for owners looking for five-star hotel comfort. Many high quality luxury cats will appeal to those looking for residential comfort onboard, promoting ornate luxury over performance.

The MC²Catamarans were designed for the serious catamaran sailor looking for high performance, in comfort and minimalist luxury.
