Vessel Details
The Chris White Atlantic 48…is known to be an exceptional offshore cruiser and has earned much praise from experienced owner’s, crew, and delivery skippers. Designed by Chris White to be a high-performance, long-distance and efficient cruiser, She has straight forward systems and is easily operated shorthanded, or even solo, and comes with a reputation for getting there fast. The layout comfortably accommodates two couples in nearly identical port and starboard midship cabins, with a third, single berth cabin in the starboard bow. A generous galley, salon/pilothouse, and workshop, all together make spending time aboard easy and comfortable, even if the weather drives you inside.
The Forward Cockpit, is a sailor’s playpen. Where you can feel the breeze on your skin and watch how the white caps feather off the tips of the sea. And, have great visibility of the sails, your instruments, and the upcoming weather. You really get an acute sense of the conditions for fine tuning the rig and course.
All your sail, autopilot, navigation, and engine controls are right there within arm’s reach. You seldom need to venture out of this secure, comfortable, and well protected space. But once the sails are trimmed, and/or if the weather gets nasty, the interior pilothouse is just a couple of steps aft, through the weather tight door.
Best of all, I think the forward cockpit is a unique and precious space to have on a boat this large. A place where you can still have a relatively close, even intimate connection to, and view of, the sea and all she brings with her.
Construction:
Built at Southern Cape Yachtbuilders and launched in September of 2010. Hulls, decks, pilot house and major bulkheads are constructed from epoxy resin and tri-axial glass laminate cored with Herex PVC marine grade foam. All exterior surfaces are spray painted with AwlGrip™ polyurethane coating. Some Alexseal polyurethane used post construction for its re-finish properties. Crossbeams are built of uni-directional carbon fiber/epoxy with foam cored epoxy/glass bulkheads.
Engine and Mechanical Systems:
Engines were replaced May 2019 under Volvo recall due to EPA certification issues. Engine rooms are aft in each hull with a large hatch and ladder for easy entry and egress. Full stand up space with good lighting and easy access to systems. The port engine room contains the Diesel Furnace and water heater, which is plumbed to both engines to scavenge heat when underway. The starboard engine room contains 125-volt and 230-volt shore power breakers and isolators, cable winch for davit, autopilot, and AIS transceiver.

Sails, Rigging and Hardware:
Sails:
Fully Battend Mainsail and Roller Furling Jib are FiberPath Enduro Voyager Series, from Ullman Sails, New in 2022. Screecher is Cuben Fibre from North Sails, worn but still of good service. Asymmetrical Spinnaker with sock is made of Norlon and in good condition. And there is also a Dacron Storm Sail in excellent condition.
Sail Area:
Rig:
Mast and Boom:
Standing Rigging:
Running Rigging:
Ultra low-stretch Dyneema lines for halyards, sheets, and preventers (New 2022), and low-stretch Spectra reefing lines.
Electrical:
Primary circuits for winches, autopilot, lighting, refrigeration, pumps, fans, etc. are 24-volt DC and controlled by the CZone Touch10 Display/Control Panel and Digital Switch NMEA 2000 Network (New 2021). This new system also offers onboard wireless monitor and control through your smart device and remote monitor and control of some circuits via Siren Marine Monitor via the internet. Additional 24-volt and 12-volt circuits are controlled at the Blue Seas Breaker Panels in the workshop Electrical Panel. The 24-volt system is charged by solar panels on the cabin top, high output alternators on both engines, and either 125-volt 60Hz, or 230-volt 50Hz shore power.
There are now two alternating current systems onboard: The original “Euro-Style” 230-volt 50Hz system, with Mastervolt Inverter/Charger, shore power connections, isolator, inlet breaker, distribution panel with circuits and 230-vold outlets, remains. And a complete, new, 125-volt 60Hz system with Inverter/Charger shore power connections, isolator, inlet breaker with distribution panel, circuits and 125-volt outlets has been installed. Each system supplies its respective voltage to a network of outlets and circuits throughout the vessel. Power comes from shore connections or, from the 24-volt House battery bank, via either inverter. This gives the operator the option to plug into shore power around the globe (230 50Hz and 125 60Hz) and operate appliances on either voltage onboard via the inverters and network of outlets. The IsoTherm electric water heater is currently configured for 125-volt service; in the event the vessel travels to a 230-volt 50Hz geographic zone, it would require the heating element to be switched back to the 230-volt. 230-volt circuit and heating element are existing and aboard.
Electrical Equipment:
Full Disclosure:
It is believed that the 230-volt 50Hz inverter has been damaged by attempts to power it with 240-volt 60Hz (US shore power). It is advised to inspect and likely repair or replace this 230-volt 50Hz inverter before traveling to a 230-volt 50Hz region and connecting to shore power.
There is a wind generator installed but inoperable. It should be removed, repaired, or replaced.
Electronics Package:
The navigational electronics package is a little dated, but it is a robust, full featured, and durable installation. The NKE Marine Electronics package will be a treat for Racers and Performance Sailors. Dependable sensors with updated display and processor provide for features such as up to six autopilot modes, including True Wind and Apparent Wind Rudder (keeps course relative to wind direction). The 14’ touch screen Furuno MFD provides the operator with all the information and graphics that one could desire. Recently added features offer the ability to view and control your navigation instruments such as the autopilot and chart plotter, via your smart device. You can also monitor and control certain onboard systems remotely via the internet. Inquire about pending updates to this package.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
Successful relationships cannot exist without it. At The Multihull Company we base every relationship on a firm commitment to earning and retaining our client’s trust.
Advice of any kind is valuable only when grounded in hard-won expertise. It too, must be trustworthy. Trust and expertise define the heart and soul of The Multihull Company. We are a team of skilled professionals who thrive on providing expert, trustworthy advice and service to catamaran and trimaran sailors around the globe.
