Why the M45 Power Catamaran?

Why the M45 Power Catamaran?

Catamaran Efficiency applied to a Big Boat The natural form stability of a catamaran means the M45 requires no expensive and space-consuming stabiliser. This 45-footer is as peaceful at anchor as a much larger monohull, while also having low draft and easier maintenance.

The M45 doesn’t have a marketing brief, rather a mission statement: to offer unsurpassed range and comfort to true cruisers, while reducing fuel consumption and therefore their environmental impact. It has a clear charge to give you the ability to travel long distances quickly and efficiently in a true liveaboard boat. Stylish lines differentiate this model from its competitors, but it's extremely practical deck layout and interior mean its beauty is far more than skin deep. The M45 is easy to operate for novices and experienced cruisers alike, and it’s remarkable fuel efficiency makes boat ownership a pleasure rather than a burden, all while considering our environment.
