About This Boat

Do you want a catamaran that can sail in excess of windspeed, cross oceans with aplomb, and accommodate a crew of 6?  A catamaran of composite foam epoxy and e-glass construction with carbon fiber reinforcements, daggerboards, kick-up rudders, and chainplates? Now do you want all of this for less than $100k?  I thought so.  This is Malihini.  She is a John Shuttleworth designed and US-built open-bridgedeck catamaran and she is a performer (see the amazing polars).  Malihini has transited the Pacific from Hawaii to Los Angeles - and then back to Hawaii - and recently back again to Oregon.  She is a sailors cat and a blast to sail.  Use her to race or use her to cruise.  You will be impressed by her capabilities.  Contact Matthew for the complete account of her first two Pacific crossings.  Malihini is currently moored in Portland, Oregon and awaiting her next adventure.
