Update: Yachting Developments 30.49M "Q5" Catamaran

Yachting Developments 30.49-meter "Q5" sailing catamaran​

The sailing catamaran that was designed by Warwick Design and being built by Yachting Developments in New Zealand should have been completed some time now but hasn't. The vessel dubbed 'Q5' is a 30.49-meter sailing catamaran with a single mast being built in composite.

Q5 is now expected to be launched in 2012, if everything goes to plan. She is yard number 66 at Yachting Developments and is to be fit out with an interior by Redman Whiteley Dixon. Both the Naval Architecture and the exterior styling are by Warwick Design.

Two CAT C7 460 horsepower engines will run Q5 with just under 10,000 LT of fuel in the tanks. Remember she is a sailing catamaran and will have both mast and boom by Southern Spars NZ made in Carbon fiber. The sails will be by Doyle. Q5 will sleep a minimum of ten guests in five cabins with room for crew in three cabins. Look out for the launching of Q5 in 2012.
