1998 Custom Given1500

This 50-foot catamaran was custom-built to the design of Ron Given and refitted in 2022. The fiberglass hull is built for both performance sailing and comfortable cruising, capable of 11 knots under power and 9 knots cruising speed, with a maximum speed of 11 knots. The catamaran's design incorporates low-profile keels and daggerboards to enhance windward performance.

The yacht features three queen cabins and two heads, providing comfortable accommodation for cruising. The interior layout reflects thoughtful custom design focused on livability and guest comfort across its 24.6-foot beam.

Power comes from two Yanmar 126-horsepower diesel engines fitted with new turbochargers installed in October 2024. Additional systems include electronic engine controls from 2017, Gorri folding propellers, a Fischer Panda 7.8kva generator, watermaker, dishwasher, and ice maker. Navigation and communication equipment comprises Raymarine instrumentation and a Garmin sounder and plotter. The sail plan includes a Doyle Stratis mainsail and jib, a Burton screecher, and a North Sails Gennaker, supported by five Harken winches with one electric unit.
