Crowther Southern Ocean 56 Just Listed

Rouge One is a spectacular blue-water cruising and high-performance racing catamaran, offering an exceptional combination of serious speed, offshore capability and practical cruising comfort.
Designed by Crowther and built by Hart Marine as an ocean racer, Rouge One has an impressive Australian performance pedigree. Formerly known as Windswept and Fondation X, she was once regarded as Australia's fastest sailing catamaran. Her lightweight composite construction and performance-focused design continue to provide the exhilarating sailing for which these Crowther multihulls are renowned.
Rouge One has subsequently been converted into a fast, capable cruising catamaran, making her particularly attractive to experienced sailors who want genuine performance without sacrificing the essential comforts and systems required for extended cruising.
She is equipped with an excellent sail wardrobe, twin inboard diesel engines with saildrives, a substantial lithium house battery system with Victron management and controls, and the systems required for practical, independent cruising.
The interior is deliberately simple and lightweight, in keeping with Rouge One's performance heritage. Accommodation includes two double berths, a compact galley and comfortable living space, providing everything necessary for a cruising couple or small offshore crew without unnecessarily compromising sailing performance.
Her configuration also makes Rouge One particularly suited to short-handed sailing, while retaining enormous potential for an owner interested in offshore racing.
With the 40th Anniversary Round Australia Race approaching, Rouge One represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a proven Australian performance multihull with the pedigree, speed and offshore capability to take on an event of this nature.
Rouge One is currently lying in Fiji following a recent refit and is very competitively priced. A vessel of this size, construction and performance capability would be extraordinarily expensive to reproduce today.
For sailors looking for something genuinely different--a fast blue-water cruiser with authentic Australian racing pedigree--Rouge One deserves serious consideration.
