About
WabiSabi is a third generation Atlantic 49 Mastfoil catamaran. The patented MastFoil rig has the advantage of being one of the easiest designs to sail. The MastFoils are rigid sails that combined with self tacking jibs provide similar sailing performance to a conventional sloop rig without the difficulty of hoisting, reefing, gybing and furling a mainsail. With the touch of a button boat speed can be immediately speeded up or reduced as conditions warrant. Trimming the MastFoils in this manner can often eliminate the need to adjust sail area by roller reefing futher simplifying sailing tasks.
In addition there is a bowsprit with a single line furler and a screacher that can be set or stowed easily.
The forward cockpit provides excellent visibility and superb safety. All sailing and anchoring functions are easily accomplished from a central station.
When conditions warrant, retreat to the inside pilot house where there is a completely protected helm station with excellent visibility.
WabiSabi is constructed of vacuum bagged Epoxy-Vinylester resin and high performance glass fibre cored with PVC foam. Carbon fibre is used in all the high load areas. The aft hardtop is carbon fibre over foam. The hull is faired and finished with Alexseal linear polyurethane. The bottom features fixed keels built from glass over solid foam and attached to a finished hull. The keels can support the weight of the boat during breaching and protect the propellers and rudders.
All forward and side windows in the deck house are tempered glass for lifetime scratch and UV resistance.
All windows in the deck house have custom made blinds to help protect from extreme heat.
WabiSabi was built and equipped to the highest standard. She has sailed safely and comfortably from Patagonia to Maine. And has recorded at least one 24 hour run exceeding 260 nm. She is equipped ready to go anywhere in safety and comfort.

Staterooms:
There are three ensuite staterooms on “Wabi Sabi”. Amidship in both port and starboard hulls are “Island Style” queen berths which allow for the occupants to get in or out from either side.

There are Frioli springs providing ventilation and support for each mattress.

Collision Bulkheads
Each hull has a collision bulkhead forward.
In event of collision damage to the forward part of the hull water will not flood the hull past the collision bulkhead. In addition, in the event of capsize the collision bulkhead is designed to keep the hull forepeak dry allowing a safe habitation place for the crew. The hulls incorporate “escape hatches” on the inboard hull side adjacent to the collision bulkhead which allows easy access into the boat should capsize occur.
