After being announced as the shipyard’s exclusive Asia-Pacific distributor, Multihull Solutions has added the Cora Cat 48 to its range.
The feature-packed power catamaran is built by the prestigious PMG Shipyard, who have been building a number of Silent 60 yachts for luxury European group, Silent Yachts.
Adapted from the original Heliotrope 48, the Cora Cat 48 comprises a host of upgrades including a full interior and exterior redesign, new deck moulds and a huge suite of features.
The catamaran has been designed with an emphasis on functionality, safety and comfort, ideal for weekend cruising or blue-water adventures with an outstanding long-cruise range of 1,500 nautical miles.
Philippe Guenat and naval architect Dr Albert Nazarov designed the Cora Cat 48 around the principles of space, pace and grace.
The result is an impressive catamaran that unites advanced construction techniques, traditional craftsmanship, high quality finishes and contemporary lines.
The Cora Cat 48 features a huge signature flybridge, which is larger than any in its category. Alongside generous cabins and a spacious galley, there’s also ample deck space without compromising performance.
The Cora Cat 48 also has fast displacement hulls which deliver effortless speed, high manoeuvrability and excellent fuel economy.
The advanced vacuum-infusion hull construction technique reduces weight without compromising strength, making handling easy in all conditions. Her hulls are further strengthened by an extra layer of five-millimetre SORIC for chock and impact-resistant protection.
The Cora Cat 48 is not a production boat, so clients can make adaptions to suit their particular style and cruising needs.
PMG Shipyard was founded in 2004 as a privately held company with Swiss ownership and management.
Strategically located by the sea on the eastern seaside of the Gulf of Thailand, the production site and offices are situated on a 20,800 metre-square facility with direct sea access and its own launching pier.
The company’s key management and technical team features a strong European presence with world-renowned members of the advisory board, allowing the shipyard to develop technically advanced, stylish, practical, economical and safe yachts.
Key management figures include NASA astronaut Michael Lopez Alegria and Raphael Domjan, founder of Planet Solar.
PMG’s technical board also provides new developments and contacts with renowned universities and solar research centres, continuously strengthening their expertise.
Multihull Solutions has ordered the first Cora Cat 48 to be on display at 2023 Australian boat shows, with the first Australian order taken following the 2022 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.
The company is fielding strong interest in the model from power catamaran enthusiasts across the region. The next available Cora catamaran will be available for delivery during 2023.
