1997 Joubert-Nivelt 52

This 52-foot Joubert-Nivelt catamaran was originally built for the Route du Rhum singlehanded transatlantic race and has since established itself as a high-performance day charter platform in the Leeward Islands. The design combines light weight—around 10,000 pounds—with robust construction, delivering speed and durability. She sails readily into the mid to high teens and reaches 20 knots in strong conditions, powered by two 60-horsepower Yammer engines with a cruising speed of 8 knots under power.

The boat holds two cabins and one head, configured for charter operations. Her deck layout and systems have been refined through years of active use, including regular participation in regional regattas such as the Heineken Regatta, Voiles de St. Barthélemy, and Caribbean Multihull Challenge. The catamaran has been continuously maintained and upgraded by experienced sailors committed to high standards of equipment and performance.
