Catamaran specialty designers Van Peteghem Lauriot Prevost have created a
robust sailing cat for worldwide cruising. Outfitted with solar panels as well
as redundant watermakers and autopilots, 73-foot Safari can go far and–because
she is designed to point well upwind–can get there fast. She will
feature a comprehensive communications system to allow her owner to combine
business with exploration. Her luxury yacht-quality interior will accommodate
eight in four cabins, including a twin-berth crew cabin finished to the same
exacting standards. Jazz Marine in South Africa will build Safari in composite
for a spring 2006 launch.
“This is a yacht we have always wanted to design,”
said Marc Van Peteghem. “We have an excellent team on the job from the project manager to the shipyard to the group here at VPLP, so Safari might well be the
first of many.”
