The HopYacht 30, a brand new compact catamaran, was launched recently and is making waves! Designed by , the HopYacht is designed for couples (or families with young children). The vessel is easy to sail short-handed and is perfect for coastal packages or sailing from bay to bay. The HopYacht30 also has de-mountable hulls and fits two standard 40′ containers, so she can be shipped easily. She is also designed with the same beam as a typical 35-40 foot monohull, making berthing easy and also saving on mooring costs.
We partner with HopYacht in the design and manufacturer of the mast, standing and running rigging and crossbeam - and we supply and fit the manual genoa furler
