SWISS CATAMARAN CONCEPT IN DÜSSELDORF’S 42ND INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW SWISS CATAMARAN CONCEPT
The S2C 55 is a top of the range cruising catamaran that combines comfort, performance and seaworthiness. Swiss Catamaran Concept produces offshore cruising catamarans for the most discerning of clients, and the S2C 55 has been specifically designed with blue-water cruising in mind.
The S2C 55 is a custom built yacht that can be personalised by her owner. The basic structure including the hull design, deck layout and carbon spars are fixed, but the fit out, colour and choice of wood for the interior can be adapted according to the client’s wishes. Swiss Catamaran Concept’s aim is to provide a top of the range product with no hidden costs for the buyer; the S2C 55 is ready for ocean-sailing as soon as she leaves our yard.
The S2C 55 will be showcased on many occasions over the year, starting this week with Düsseldorf Boat Show, from the 22nd to the 30th January, at the stand no. 15B 25. In the mean time, ‘Swisscat’, the second of two S2C 55 catamarans already built, will be delivered to the South of France in order to be presented to the French public at the Salon Nautique du Multicoque de la Grande Motte (from the14th to the 17th April). ‘Swisscat’ will then sail to the Balearic Islands, where she will be showcased during Palma’s International Boat Show (April 24th to May 2nd). Finally, the S2C 55 will be presented in Cannes during the International Boat and Yacht Show (7th to 12th September).
Following on from the success of the S2C 55, designer Sébastien Schmidt and Swiss Catamaran are currently working on several draft projects based on the same philosophy: high level, ready-to-sail and with no hidden costs. In response to demands from clients who love the Swiss Catamarans concept but who would ideally like a smaller yacht, an S2C 45 is currently being developed. This more compact version of the original will be less than eight metres wide, enabling her to fit into most European locks and making her easier to moor in port. Like her big sister, she is fully equipped with a carbon mast and top of the range fittings. She should come with a price tag of less than €850,000.
At the same time, preliminary studies for an S2C 75 have started: a futuristic project featuring a hybrid propulsion system.
