“s/v CASSIOPEIA”
LUXURY CATAMARAN SAILING YACHT
Concept
The "CASSIOPEIA" is a 70 ft luxury live aboard catamaran. The boat was designed by Walter
Schurtenberger. She is a very fast, comfortable and spacious long distance cruiser. She was
designed with blue water passage making in mind and is equipped every imaginable amenity
for comfort at sea and in port. This is a very high tech boat built with the most modern
lightweight materials (carbon fiber and glass fiber over foam core and honeycomb core using
only epoxy resins). This yacht is capable of sailing in any waters of the world or around the
world. Cassiopeia would be an ideal vehicle for a circumnavigation or for use as a luxury
charter yacht.
