&lt;b&gt;Layout &amp; Accommodations&lt;/b&gt;<br /> Hull:<br /> 2 cab, 2 head, retractable el. motors/generators 3 bl. props.<br /> Carbon Fibre hard top bimini with see through<br /> Carbon Fibre Mast and Dyneema halyards<br /> Coppercoat antifouling (new from June 2016)<br /> <br /> Design:<br /> With a final length of 44 ft 7 inch or 13.6 meter and a waterline length that has been increased to 43 foot or 12.99 meter, FastCat 445 performs now even better than before. The waterline length is extended by lengthening the bow, all the way from below the water line to the top. This makes the entrance finer, down to a 10 mm radius. The finer bows’ entrance decreases resistance resulting in a higher speed. The bows have two safety bulkheads in case of hull penetrations. In the rear, the transom is extended to increase the diving platform to a length of 1.10 meters or 3 ft 8 inch and an extra buoyancy chamber is added here. We have increased the headroom to more than 2 meters inside.<br /> <br /> Sideview<br /> By raising the stronger thicker type of rub rail with 60 mm or 2.5 inches and the port-holes that have been moved below the rub rails FastCat 445 gives a sleeker and longer appearance. Optionally, 6 portholes can be placed per side instead of the standard 4. All this gives the cat a cleaner, more modern look and it greatly improves visibility.<br /> The all new FastCat has a very futuristic design befitting this new fossil free catamaran.<br /> <br /> Interior<br /> A large saloon with the galley up and navigation station looking forward and a comfortable U-seat that easily accommodates 8 persons guarantee an easy live aboard. Two identical hulls with king sized beds (2.20 x 1.80 meters) and a well<br /> equipped head with separate shower (optional) give plenty room for an owner’s couple and their guests or crew.

Durability, green construction and fossil free sailing where always high on the agenda, so he developed the idea to go for green cruising catamarans. Developing, innovating and having the guts to use all these new ideas resulted in FastCat 445 Green eMotion. All FastCats are ready to sail away when delivered. Most of our clients sail from Durban.
