This “sculpture” is the new Italian maxicatamaran C-Cat 65 (21m)

Look at that “skeleton!” At the Comar Yachts shipyard in Fiumicino, Rome, the new C-CAT 65 is being born.

How C-Cat 65 is being born

In the picture above you can see it just ‘shelled’. It is impressive with about 225 sq. m. of floor space between interior and exterior, and we will soon be able to follow the stages of mating the hull with the deck. This catamaran is the result of years of research and development.

The new C-Cat model on the launch pad will be the flagship of the range, the C-Cat 65 (21.00 x 9.20 m), a design that will propel the shipyard into the world of maxi yachts.

Design and construction

The design of the C-Cat 65 is the result of a multi-handed work, entrusted to Enrico Contreas who, with Luigi Cirillo put his signature on this catamaran, in a work where Marco Amadio and Marco Rogolino also collaborated.

Even from the first circulated drawings, the catamaran shows a certain identity: sharp, inverted bows, adjustable drifts, a low, tapered living cell, and a net at the bow, the search for lightness, a low center of gravity, and aerodynamic shapes is immediately apparent. Features that herald interesting performance.

The boat has one of its secrets in its construction, thanks to the infusion carbon construction for bulkheads, hull and deck, which is ideal for the strength and structural rigidity requirements that such a boat must have. It means being able to reduce the time of crossings from one destination to another while cruising, often keeping the engine off, or benefiting from the lightness of the catamaran even when sailing with propulsion.

For the first layer instead of the classic white gelcoat, a transparent one was used, which has as a special feature the advantage of extreme control of the quality of the infusion, once the hulls are shelled, through monitoring and control systems.

C-Cat 65 – Interior

Interior under the banner of open spaces and brightness thanks to the glazed deckhouse. The square will connect with the large cockpit to create a large open space. The glazing separating or die rooms is created concealed.

The interiors are designed to cater to an audience that may come from different worlds, from both sailing and motoring, as C-Cats are also in this second version. Different solutions from 3 to 4+1 cabins are offered with elegant and sophisticated fittings, which can also be customized.

The launch of the new catamaran is scheduled for July 2025.
