HH88 - a huge sailing cruising catamaran

great construction

HH88 is a 27-meter sailing catamaran. The first hull of the HH88 is currently in the final stages of construction at a shipyard in China. The idea and design of the kata belongs to the Californian designers Morrelli & Melvin. 

The catamaran was announced a long time ago, but it is in 2022 that it should be launched and put into operation. The HH88 will be the first and only model in the lineup. This is a trial run that should give rise to large-scale production of this type of kat.

In the future, it is planned to name the models HH8801 (where 01 is the serial number of the produced catamaran). So what is so ambitious about this sailboat?

Carbon and VIP cabins

HH describes the HH88 as the largest full carbon cruising catamaran. The use of carbon in such a project indicates that the boom in carbon fiber hulls will only increase in the coming years. Of the advantages of the carbon body - lightness and strength.

In addition to the carbon body, the HH88 also boasts capacity. Cat can host up to 10 guests in 4 en-suite cabins. There can also be 4 crew members on board who will be servicing the impressive kat.

Power HH88

The boat is equipped with solar panels, generators and lithium batteries. The batteries have a capacity of 70 kW and they can power the catamaran throughout the night. The batteries are powered and recharged by solar photocells with a capacity of 6 kW. 

If there is not enough green energy capacity, then generators will come to the rescue. There are two of them on board, each with 24 kW. For future models, the company is considering the introduction of hybrid power technologies. 

According to preliminary tests, thanks to the power of the engines and sails, the HH88 will be able to reach speeds in excess of 25 knots. If the cat moves only under the motor, then the output will be 18 knots.  

Beauty and practicality

The first hull is already painted in a catchy crimson color. Among the features of deck equipment is a fully air-conditioned flybridge. Through it you can get directly into the saloon or go out to the deck. 

The HH88 also has a jacuzzi and each cabin, as mentioned above, is equipped with its own shared bathroom. Granite, carbon fiber and solid walnut were used in the interior decoration. Among the interesting features of the interior is the beautiful illumination of granite surfaces.
