Fastback 32 Catamaran

Unique go anywhere coastal cruising catamaran. The shallow draft (0.5m) allows you to cross fringing reefs and coastal bars. The Fastback has a solid quality fibreglass build, is an easy to handle, light displacement vessel which is responsive under sail and economical under engine power. Fastback catamarans were designed by John Gross and built under his guidance in his Brisbane based factory. They are well reputed as capable, responsive and enjoyable sailing vessels that incorporate unique features and functionality to maximise your cruising experience.
Propulsion is from a centre mounted inboard Yanmar 3GM diesel (30 hp) engine with a drop down Yanmar sail-drive. Both the engine and sail drive are centrally mounted well above the waterline and when raised the leg is out of the water (reducing drag when under sail and corrosion/electrolysis when not in use). Headsail sheets and winches are trimmed from inside the saloon area. Steering is via 2 hull hung fiberglass spade rudders. There is a single daggerboard on starboard hull. Full head room in the hulls.
The vessel is a 6 berth configuration with 2 double berths in the port hull (one of which can be converted to a dinette if preferred) and 1 master cabin starboard aft. There is a head starboard forward with an electric toilet. A galley is located at midships in the port hull complete with a 2 burner gas stove and stainless steel sinks (1 salt water, 1 fresh). A settee is located between the hulls on the bridge deck. The bridge deck cabin has a slide back roof and excellent all round views while sailing or relaxing and can be fully opened to the cockpit area which includes a 4 person dining table (bar fridge under). Both hulls have extensive storage in side cabinets and shelving and large volume storage under berths and in both foward hulls.
Survey done June 2022 (happy to provide a copy to serious buyers).
Last antifouled Sept 2024.
Currently in a marina berth (not included with sale). Inspection can be arranged by appoinment only for serious buyers.
Very reluctant sale. She is a beautiful vessel and I am hoping she finds the right buyer to see her continue her adventures for many years to come.
