HH Catamarans, a branch of US-based Hudson Yacht Group, has revealed that the first hull in its flagship HH88 series is approaching its launch at its facilities in China.
Designed in 2016/17 by Morrelli & Melvin, construction on the all-carbon multihull began in 2019 and it is expected to be handed over to her owner this year.
The 26.8-metre fully-carbon catamaran has a bold crimson exterior and is in the final stages of build at the Xiamen shipyard, with an anticipated launch date in late summer.
The HH88 model can be customised in two ways: One to prioritise speed and one to best optimise space. The first hull will be used for private yacht charter, and will be fitted with an enclosed flybridge and a hot tub. Accommodation is for ten guests and with a complement for four crew.
When sailing, the unit’s robust carbon mast plays host to a 246 square-metre main sail.
This flagship model is the builder's biggest catamaran yet, and according to the yard will be the second largest carbon fiber catamaran ever produced.
