This custom catamaran was designed by John
Shuttleworth, a leading high performance catamaran designer from England.
He was contracted to design a fast, smooth, safe cat that would support the
newest idea of self sailing rigging, the AeroRig®. The result is the
Shuttleworth 52.
She is constructed of Airex® foam core, carbon fibers, Kevlar, E-glass,
and epoxy resin. Her length overall is 52'2" with a beam overall of
33'6". She has a draft of 2'10" with kickup rudders. She
is powered by twin 59 horsepower Volvo diesel with Sail Drives. Her
displacement is 16,500.
This Shuttleworth 52 AeroRig® has been featured as the "V12 Jaguar of
cruising" by Carbospars Ltd, the builders of this free-standing, carbon
fiber mast, the AeroRig®. This mast will assist the sailor in a virtual
self sailing environment. It has been designed so a majority of the
handling can be done by one person from the cockpit. Additional
structural reinforcements were designed into the main beam and adjoining cabin
top, as well as where the mast pivots in a recessed area on the bridgedeck.
All the structural components have already been
constructed and the primary fairing completed. She has four staterooms
and four heads in the starboard and port hulls. Hanging lockers and
other storage have been designed as intrinsic features.
The main salon design contains the galley,
navigation station, and a formal seating area with table for 6-8 people.
(Note: Head/vanity added to starboard aft stateroom forward of berth.
Center settee area replaced by wine cabinet.)
The current design of the galley features a U-shaped galley with a
refrigerator, Gas stove and oven, microwave, trash compactor and ice maker.
The counter space is abundant as is the amount of storage in the galley and
just forward..
The cockpit features a large U-shaped seating area in the cockpit with easy
access aft to the hulls and to the dingy deck and aft seating with storage and
live bait compartment.
Located in the United States.
