2024 St. Francis 460 Hybrid

The 2024 St. Francis 460 Hybrid is a modern fast-cruising catamaran built on a foam sandwich and marine plywood core with fully carbon-wrapped composite hulls. At 46 feet by 26 feet, she combines a protected helm station with an expansive interior defined by oversized windows and deck hatches that bring natural light throughout the living spaces.

Power comes from twin Yanmar diesel engines rated at 57 horsepower each, paired with 10-kilowatt electric motors for hybrid propulsion. This system balances range and efficiency with the option for quiet, low-emissions cruising under electric power alone. The electrical infrastructure includes a 3,200-watt solar array, lithium power bank, and dual 110V/220V systems suitable for global cruising.

The three-cabin, three-head layout provides dedicated accommodation for extended voyaging. The interior spaces feature modern finishes and generous headroom throughout. Equipment includes a full North Sails inventory with electric winches and furlers, commercial-grade fuel polishing, a high-output watermaker, fire suppression systems, and advanced tank monitoring for self-sufficient cruising.
