Built in Phuket by Composite Catamarans, and targeted specifically at those who want a comfortable yet fast cruising catamaran to enjoy the tropical waters of Southeast Asia, the Andaman Cabriolet comes with an impressive design pedigree.

Robin Chamberlain designed hulls used to build XS Ice Cat, the first catamaran ever to sail to Antarctica, have been combined in Australia by Stealth designer Alan Carwadine to build the super-light 39 ft racer/cruiser Cut Snake.

That basic design combination has been modified in Phuket by Composite Catamarans to suit local tropical conditions and usage. The result is the Andaman Cabriolet. Significant features are:

Handling

• Shorter rig (14m – Cut Snake has a 17m rig) makes for safer sailing for the less experienced
• All lines go back to cockpit, making short-handed sailing easier. The Andaman Cabriolet can be sailed easily by a crew of two (for cruising)
• An electro-hydraulic tilt outboard system means engines come clear of the water at the ‘push of a button’
• Dual engine controls immediately adjacent to the helm make manoeuvring as easy as can be

Cruising

• Relocation of the mainsheet track to the targa above the saloon leaves room for seating for 8-10 in the cockpit alone, plus another 6 in the saloon.
• The retractable ‘cabriolet’ roof over the saloon gives the choice of ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ relaxation
• Two dining areas – the dining table can be relocated from the saloon to the cockpit, where there is ample seating for 6-8 to dine al fresco
• A large fridge/freezer in the galley is complemented by two ample ice boxes in the cockpit. No shortage of cold drinks!
• The galley ‘upstairs’ in the saloon area means nobody has to ‘hide’ below to prepare meals or drinks, at the same time retaining privacy in the sleeping accommodation
• Accommodation comprises one large single berth (big enough for two children) and one double berth in each hull
• Each hull is serviced by one hot-water shower/toilet aft, giving providing complete privacy for two family groups
• Saloon seating easily converts into an extra double berth, while the dining table can still be used in the cockpit

Sail away for 10m Baht – no hidden extras

Uniquely, the Andaman Cabriolet comes with everything – and more – that you need to sail away. The standard price includes:

Kind to the environment

• 4-stroke, high thrust Yamaha outboards giving best fuel economy and minimum pollution
• Non-slip deck paint water-based, non-polluting
• Anti-foul is the latest ICAN Nano technology, non-polluting
• Solar panels fitted, reducing need to run engines to charge batteries

Racing

The Andaman Cabriolet is not built as a racing yacht. But it was designed for those who like to combine the excitement of some racing with their cruising
– and has proven it can be a class-winner in regional regattas against stiff competition.
