2015 Flash Cat 52S

This 2015 Flash Cat 52S is a Lerouge design built using epoxy and carbon composite construction via vacuum infusion, resulting in a refined finish and light structure. The hull incorporates Kevlar in select areas, while the rigid bimini, reinforcements, mast, bow, transom gennaker bowsprit, and lightweight interior carpentry are carbon composite, optimizing weight distribution and performance. The design prioritizes simplicity and efficiency, with no centerboards and a proven track record of sustained cruising speeds of 200 to 220 nautical miles per day on extended passages.

The catamaran accommodates four cabins and two heads, arranged to maximize liveability and comfort for extended offshore voyaging. The light, efficient construction translates to reduced fuel consumption and responsive handling under power and sail, supported by twin Yanmar diesel engines of 78 horsepower each.

The boat has recently returned from a three-year circumnavigation, demonstrating the seaworthiness and reliability of this design. It stands ready for its next chapter at sea.
