Power catamarans generally have either planing or displacement hulls, with the added frugality of displacement models making them ideal long-range adventure vessels – our Longreach 1900 test boat being a very good example.
Its reverse-bow hulls are designed to minimise drag while having enough volume to take a substantial cruising load, and raked bulkheads above deck reduce windage, the bane of flybridges.
There are two configurations: Bluewater, with a more open layout suitable for temperate climates, and Expedition, which has more all-weather protection for the flybridge and cockpit.
