OTHER IMPORTANT UPGRADES:
Upgraded electric windlass, Harken mainsail tracks and 2:1 purchase mainsail halliard for easy single or short handed sailing. Feeling safe at anchor is of primary importance - she has one of the best anchors available.
OTHER KEY FEATURES:
Genuinely ready to go with constant upgrades
Incredible amount of space relative to her length
Low engine hours
Spacious cockpit and living area
Exceptionally well built providing comfort and safety
Galley has plenty of storage space so that everything is at hand
One of very few Privilege 37 catamarans which has never been chartered
Sea kindly, yet responsive boat which tacks easily.
SUMMARY:
Belladonna is a well maintained, comfortable and proven offshore cruiser.
She is easily handled both offshore and in a marina. She is renowned for her fast sailing and is well equipped for long distance sailing.
OWNERS COMMENTS:
"Having already sailed around the world, we knew exactly what we were looking for in our next boat:
1) Seaworthy boat to provide a safe platform for us and our daughters
2) Easily sailed single-handed
3) Light and spacious with good headroom and large berths
4) Galley down so plenty of storage to hand
5) Good bridge deck clearance
6) Capable of 150nm+ day runs
7) Sails upwind well
8) Protected steering position
Belladonna has all these features and more. We feel much safer in Belladona than we did in our previous very respected 38ft bluewater monohull. Not only that, but the Privilege 37 even sails upwind faster and closer to the wind. Upwind in larger waves, we leave many much larger modern catamarans a long way behind. Unlike many modern catamarans, she is designed to sail well upwind and downwind.
Our experienced surveyor said she was the best built catamaran he had ever surveyed. " Andrew and Katharine, Tahiti, January 2023

Electrics
The solar system is split into two independent systems for optimal generation.
400Ah of lithium batteries (equivalent to 720Ah of lead acid). Lithium batteries allow a more powerful windlass to be installed - and enables sailing off anchor without starting the engines. It also means the solar system is able to charge much more efficiently. The alternators are only needed for service battery charging in an emergency.
The original design is a single starter battery which starts both engines. This was reconfigured to allow each engine to run off its own starter battery for safety and peace of mind. Electrics include:
- 12V distribution board
- 240V distribution board with sockets throughout
- Starter batteries - 2 x 90Ah (2021)
- Service batteries - 4 x 100Ah Lithium - LifePo4 (2021)
- Automatic battery charger (30 amp) to charge engine batteries from service batteries
- Sterling battery to battery charger BB1230 12V 30A (2021) to charge service batteries from starter batteries (alternator)
- Solar panels - 4 x 330watt BenQ solar panels (2018)
- Solar charge controllers - 2 x Victron BlueSolar MPPT 150/60-Tr (2018)
- Solar display - 2 x Victron MPPT Control (2018)
- Service battery display - Victron BMV 700 with shunt (2021)
- Engine battery voltage - 2 x digital displays (2021)
- Inverter 1 - 600W inverter/charger wired to immersion element and engine battery charger
- Inverter 2 - 600W pure sine wave inverter wired for 240V distribution (2019)
- Inverter 3 - 2000W pure sine wave inverter wired to washing machine (2020)
- Most lighting is LED

Electronics / Navigation
- Radar - Raymarine RL70C
- Autopilot control head - Raymarine ST6000+
- Autopilot drive unit - Raymarine Linear Drive Type 2 (2018)
- VHF/DSC - Icom IC-330 (2019)
- Pioneer radio with saloon and cockpit speakers
- Depth/Speed/Log - Raymarine ST60 TriData
- Wind speed and angle - Raymarine i60 (2019)
The most favoured navigational system long distance cruisers use is a mobile phone/ipad on deck with a backup laptop below decks. This can be loaded with software such as Navionics, Open CPN with world charts and satellite images from multiple sources. The owners prefer this solution rather than the fixed instruments noted below:
- Chartplotter - Raymarine RL80C Pathfinder
- Autopilot control head - Raymarine ST6000+

Sail Inventory
Belladonna's sail plan consists of a fully battened mainsail and furling genoa. She has an inner stay for mounting the storm sail. This sail plan allows the sails to be easily adapted to the sea and wind conditions.
Having the upgraded Harken Battcar system with 2:1 halliard and electric windlass makes reefing easy, even when sailing single-handed.
- Fully battened mainsail with 3 reefs by Zoom Sails (new 2022)
- Furling genoa (new 2022)
- Cruising spinnaker with sock
- Storm jib (used once)
- Lazy bag (2018)
- Genoa furler - Profurl
Mainsail and genoa upgraded specifications for offshore cruising:
- 10 oz dacron instead of 8oz
- C-Breeze cloth which is a medium grade cloth with high tenacity yarns in both directions - avoids vertical tears
- A&E Sunstop thread and Tenara PTFE for UV covers.
- Hydra-net reinforcements (woven Dyneema)
