IS KATO FASTER THAN A GUNBOAT 66?
If you enjoy the thrill of sailing in agruably the best built, fastest ( Kato weighing just 9.5 tons compared with a Gunboat at 15.4 tons) and easiest to manage shorthanded Carbon 66 catamaran in Australia and probably the world, this is a once only opportunity to own a superb "as new" high performance catamaran at half replacement cost. 
One Owner, superbly built by Noosa Marine in carbon and duracore, and weighing just 9.5 tons, Kato effortlessly does 16 + kts in 12 kts of wind so the often dreaded ocean crossings are fun and much safer as she can sail around storm fronts and "get there" faster. She is immensely strong, spacious and very comfortable. Her 3Di sails are easily managed single handed with electric self tailing winches, and navigation is made simple with a full suite of Raymarine electronics and extra large plotter mirrored on the large flatscreen TV in the saloon. 
Hulls below waterline are 2 layers carbon over duracore with the outer layer being S glass for impact resistance, topsides one layer over carbon/duracore composite. Inside one layer carbon skin. All furniture is carbon and foam composite bonded to hulls and floor for lightweight rigid construction and for safety there are eighteen watertight bulkheads below floor for immense strength. 
Her eco friendly oceanvolt electric propulsion systems, drive her at 7-8 kts infinitely with the new 11 kva compact generator running, they have minimum environmental impact, minimum weight and the high output regenerate mode kicks in at 10 kts + which is almost always under sail. 
Her 23 M Southern Spars carbon mast and North carbon sails, power her faster than wind speed under sail and the in- boom furling main powered by an Anderson electric winch at the mast, makes reefing effortless. The Headsail and Screecher sheets and furler lines are easily managed single handed with the assistance of the Harken electric winches. 
Steering is hydrive hydraulic with integrated raymarine auto pilot system offering you freedom to rest and relax under way. 
Stepping aboard via the wide scoops aft through to the spacious cockpit that has a u- shaped settee and two carbon tables, a day lounge and a unique kite board and paddle board storage space aft of the lounge. 
There is a U- shaped galley up to port on the bridge deck, equipped with top loading fridges and freezers as well as two drawer fridges, corian bench tops, lots of storage cupboards, plenty of headroom and opening hatches forward for ventilation at anchor. 
The day lounge in the saloon and very comfortable settee to starboard with carbon table is an excellent relaxation space at anchor or under way. 
There is a queen east west berth midships with ensuite aft in each hull, a single forward on the port side and storage forward on the starboard side. 
The Victron electrical systems and watermaker are located port side aft and new the ( 2025) compact, yanmar 11 kva generator in it's own carbon case is on the port side aft.
