Composite Light weight and Designed to be beached with full keel and protected props
Australian-designed and built late model Power cat.
The philosophy behind the Pathfinder Pilothouse 17.4 was that the systems had to be robust and easy to maintain without getting unnecessarily complicated, and with a backup if possible. This is a boat that is intended to go to sea and stay there for long periods of time, so the systems had to reflect this.
The extra-large rear deck, while at rest, has plenty of room for entertaining 10+ guests. Stepping through the large bi-fold doors into the Saloon on the starboard side and aft Galley on the port side with servery to the rear deck.
Forward, you step up to the pilot house where you, the Captain, can be accompanied by ALL your guests in the comfort of l L-shaped lounges and a second helm chair while cruising. There is also a navigation table port forward.
Stepping down from the pilot house forward are 2 Queen cabins with shared en-suites between the cabins,
The two guest cabins are a Port mid ship double bunk cabin plus a double and single cabin with an ensuite to the starboard side.
Key Points
o Upgrades completed in 2021 and 2023 (ask for extensive list)
o Wireless Yacht controller
o 3000 nm range @ 8 knots
o Accommodation for 10
o Protected props
o Can sit on the sand
A number of different engine options were considered, but Peter Bardy decided to stay with the mechanically injected 440hp
Yanmar 6LY3-STP's that have been used in his previous custom builds.
Reasons for choosing this engine;
o Highest power-to-weight ratio in their class
o Very narrow, which suits a catamaran hull
o They are a pure marine engine
o Equipment such as oil filters is positioned on top to make them easier to service.
o They have Mechanical injection, which is more forgiving to fuel quality, which can be a problem when cruising to more remote places.
o These engines are electronically controlled for higher torque and a cleaner fuel burn, and this allows the engine's operating data, such as temperature, pressure and fuel consumption, to be displayed on an LCD screen.
o Both the engines and gearboxes are from Yanmar; warranty and matching the correct type is less of an issue, and in this installation, the gearboxes are 2.47:1 with an 8° down angle.
