Step inside the salon, beautifully crafted in classic teak, with exquisite joinery that showcases the meticulous care and attention put into this build. A large settee and dinette to port create a perfect space for dining or relaxation, while a thoughtfully designed centerline console provides storage for cutlery, wine, and more. To starboard, the galley impresses with its spacious layout, high-end appliances, and ample counter space. Expansive salon windows flood the space with natural light, offering breathtaking views while underway.
The accommodations are equally well-designed, featuring four staterooms and four heads. Aft staterooms are outfitted with queen-sized berths, while the forward berths provide comfortable doubles.

Primary Details:
This exceptional custom-built catamaran, the Shuttleworth 52, was masterfully designed by John Shuttleworth, a renowned authority on high-performance catamarans from England. Commissioned to create a vessel that is fast, smooth, and safe while incorporating the cutting-edge AeroRig® self-sailing system, Shuttleworth delivered a stunning masterpiece of innovation and craftsmanship.
Construction and Specifications:
Crafted with precision, the Shuttleworth 52 boasts an advanced composite structure of Airex foam core, carbon fiber, Kevlar, E-glass, and Pro-Set epoxy resin. Measuring 52’2″ in overall length with a 33’6″ beam, she is both spacious and agile. Her shallow draft of 2’10”, complemented by kick-up rudders and a cockpit-controlled daggerboard in the port hull, ensures exceptional versatility in various waters.
Twin 59-horsepower Volvo diesel engines with Sail Drives power this vessel, paired with 3-blade stainless steel props featuring adjustable pitch and full feathering. The engine rooms provide ample space for easy maintenance, and the KE-4 electric engine controls and Jastram hydraulic steering enhance precision handling. With a displacement of 16,500 lbs and a useful load capacity of 10,000 lbs, this catamaran offers remarkable performance and capacity. The flush deck hatches, bow netting, and Ocean non-skid deck ensure safety and ease of movement on board. The radar arch accommodates essential equipment, including radar, which is optimally positioned away from the rotating mast.
AeroRig® Mast and Sailing System:
At the heart of this catamaran’s sailing innovation is the free-standing carbon fiber AeroRig® mast. Designed for minimal crew requirements, it enables near-effortless handling, with the majority of sail adjustments managed from the cockpit via an electric winch. Structural reinforcements in the main beam, cabin top, and bridgedeck pivot area ensure robust support for the rig. The roller-furling mainsail and headsail are manual but can be adapted for operation from the helm, further simplifying single-handed sailing.
Interior and Accommodations:
The Shuttleworth 52 offers luxurious accommodations with four staterooms and four private heads. The aft staterooms feature queen-sized beds, while the forward staterooms offer comfortable doubles. Thoughtfully designed storage solutions, including hanging lockers and integrated compartments, maximize space. Overhead hatches and port lights flood the interiors with natural light and fresh air.
The main salon is a welcoming hub, incorporating a galley and a formal dining area with seating for 6-8 guests. The U-shaped galley is well-equipped with a quiet AC/DC refrigerator, propane stove and oven, microwave, ample counter space, and extensive storage, including a pantry in the starboard hull. Additional amenities include three 100-gallon freshwater tanks, two 10-gallon hot water tanks, and a washer/dryer combo.
Cockpit and Deck Features:
The cockpit is designed for comfort and functionality, with a spacious U-shaped seating area and easy access to the hulls, dinghy deck, and aft storage. The aft deck also includes seating, storage, and a live bait compartment, making this vessel ideal for both relaxation and adventure. A drop-down boarding bow ladder and dual electric windlasses add to the vessel’s convenience.
Customization Potential:
The Shuttleworth 52 offers opportunities for personal touches and upgrades, such as the addition of a generator, water maker, or advanced electronics. With its elegant design, innovative features, and luxurious accommodations, this catamaran promises an exceptional experience on the water.

I recently sold my Lagoon 450 with the Multihull Team. I would highly recommend their services. The professionalism and personal treatment I received was greatly appreciated.
Great Service, Great People
Helped me through the process.
I would go through them again in a future purchase.
The Multihull Company made the process of buying our boat easy and predictable. Both our agent (Francisco Montaner) and Andrew Holland communicated well and educated/informed us of each step in the process. I highly recommend The Multihull Company for those shopping for a catamaran!
Chuck at The Multihull Company is the real deal.
He helped us find our Lagoon 40 after genuinely listening to what we needed, not just what he had to sell. He let us visit the boat multiple times, answered every question honestly, and helped us make a confident decision on a major purchase.
What impressed us most was the post-sale support. Once the paperwork was signed, Chuck was still picking up the phone, offering referrals, and helping us work through the early stages of liveaboard life. That kind of follow-through is rare.
If you are looking for a multihull and want someone who knows the boats and actually cares about the outcome, Chuck is the person to call.
We just purchased a 2025 Nautitech 44 Open with The Multihull Company. The process of getting here has been great, and we could not have asked for a better agent. We worked with Conor, whom we met at the 2025 Cannes Boat Show. We started our search for a cruising catamaran in Florida at the beginning of the year. We spent a couple of months looking at different boats/models within our price range and quickly narrowed it down to what really mattered to us, in part thanks to the wealth of knowledge and expertise our broker provided. When we found a perfect match in Montenegro, Conor and The Multihull Company did not hesitate to continue supporting us and to lead the efforts from start to finish with great care and transparency. Communication and support have been outstanding throughout this entire process. Conor, in particular, showed great compassion and care, going above and beyond to ensure that no stone was left unturned and that we would be able to safely and happily sail off into our big adventure.
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.
