If
you're looking for a really
roomy and high
performance
power catamaran, with great
stability
and
passage-making
performance,
the new Siam Cat 45 is one very impressive little composite
yacht at a very affordable price and
built strictly to ISO 9001standards!!
After built the
AB32 and marketing
it, we discovered that many boat dealers and private
customers and now requesting a bigger cat. We started
to consider designing a larger model on the same nice lines.
After much research and listening to current and past
customers as to what they would like, we decided to proceed
with design of AB 42
and AB45. Two preliminary plans were written and presented
to our potential customers and immediately we were given the
go ahead by a very eager buyer! The AB45 is already
visible right now in construction in our yard.
Our
Main goal is to offer hand crafted, detailed quality at the
right price: you get a composite power cat at a fraction of
price of other suppliers, built cost effectively in Asia,
much cheaper than boats from Europe or in the West. For
comparison, we calculate the AB45 is priced close to half of
many international brands and even as low as a third of many
US brands of its category. Siam Cat it is built by Italian
managed company in Thailand with European quality and
following high standard using the finest imported materials
and craftsmen available.
Designing the AB45 we had
two major design criteria: we wanted a long range, very
fuel-efficient cruising catamaran but with the same Italian
inspired style lines of the AB32; we did not want it to look
like many other catamarans, boxy and square. The AB45
introduces elegant, ground breaking innovations in comfort,
safety and performance. This new breed of power catamaran
is designed by architect Albert Nazarov of Albatross Marine
Design following Siam Cat requirements.
.
Built using the latest
technology and materials, the AB45 integrates an open-plan
layout with exceptional interior volume, offering a
comfortable power cat that combines spacious accommodations
with superior performance levels.
She features outdoor and
indoor dining areas, a fully equipped galley, spacious
saloon with forward facing navigation station, and a
cocktail bar off the galley. Available in 3 or 4 cabin
configurations with en suite lavatories and stall showers
plus plenty of storage space, ventilation, and lighting.
On the flybridge, a front
centrally positioned helm station is covered by a bimini or
hardtop roof and offers excellent visibility on all corners
of the yacht for ease of maneuvering. Complete with wrap
around seating for 8, a wet bar, BBQ, cooler, and drink
holders, the flybridge is the perfect place to take in the
scenery.
The Siam Cat AB45 Powercat
contains all of the top features sailors desire, including
blue water capability, great performance, composite
construction, a superb anchoring system, excellent
ventilation, high quality equipment, large tank capacities,
and much more. The Siam Cat AB45 integrates an open-plan
layout with exceptional interior volume, offering a
comfortable power cat that combines spacious accommodations
with reliable and proven performance and efficiency.
The Siam Cat Power Catamaran AB45 is designed with plenty of
storage space, ventilation and lighting. The deck layout is
clear and uncluttered, with walk-through access to the aft
swim platform and wide side decks.
Interior can be customized in a large variety of finishing
levels, following customer requirements,
all
with light materials, but finishing is not just ‘basic’ –
luxury touch can be added. Saloon can be in carpet or teak
floor and a variety of choose of wood essences from teak to
light birch veneer, with white or cream gelcoat and soft
composite or PVC panels on ceiling. Carpet or teak floor can
be used in cabins on ceiling, sides and bulkheads, with
wooden trim where appropriate all with an open bespoke
building program with the customer.
Different layouts available:
As
always there are always lots of choices when a designer
designs, a builder builds and an owner chooses his
Catamaran. We offer
two “basic” different solutions in layout, a Cruiser 3 cabin
Owner version and a Charter 4+2 cabin version but custom
solutions can be requested all time and finalized together
with the client in a bespoke program with our designer.
The
4-cabin – 4 toilets and additional 2 crew cabins or one crew
cabin and lavatory on bow offer the best solution for this
size of catamaran used for charter, comparable to catamaran
of 50 feet size.
The
3-cabin layout incorporates a separate study/lounge area
with an ultra modern faux leather settee, desk, reading
light, overhead cabinet and dedicated hanging locker with
shelf. Accommodation for crew is in the bow with a separate
room, and easily accessible by a large hatch on deck.
Powered by 2 extremely reliable V- drive from twin 150HP up
to twin 350 hp Common rail diesel engines, and coupled with
an efficient hull design based on optimization studies from
test tank data by Albatross Marine design office (see
video….), this power cat offers exceptional fuel efficiency
at the 12 - 15 knot range with maximum speed of 28-30 knots,
and better than average efficiency at higher speeds (see
charts).
