New Catamarans - Dolphin 460

Design Philosophy

The Dolphin 460 represents the fruit of over 25 years of catamaran design and construction expertise. Designer/builder Phelippe Pouvreau has expertly blended the best features of the finest catamarans in the world to create a yacht that is not only gracious and spacious at anchor, but fast, safe and comfortable underway.

Your Dolphin 460 is easily identified by her:
• Fine, sharp bows, which reduce bow-wave drag and enhance surfing

• Graduated flared hulls to handle cruising payloads No hull protrusions to create drag, slapping, or pounding

• Dual dagger-boards for pointing, shoal draft sailing, and reduced drag off-the-wind

• A tall, powerful rig so she sails swiftly in light breezes

• Longer, wider stems to handle heavy aft payloads

• A generous 24 foot beam to increase stability

• Vertical salon windows that produce excellent interior visibility and reduced heat

• Wide flat decks which are easy to navigate in all conditions

• A bulkhead helm that offers "four corners visibility" when docking and sailing
