Big can be Beautiful Too


If the RB34 is proof of my yard's ability to produce a versatile, value-for-money production motor-sailer in a size that will suit most couples and families, the RB50, which is now under construction for a client at my largest yard in Jomtien, is the vanguard of a range of much larger, more luxurious and yet still very competitively priced vessels over 50 feet in length.
Designed by Albert Nazarov, like the RB34, the RB50 is much larger than most other motor vessels – even other catamarans – of her length, with four large staterooms, two heads, and various interior and exterior seating areas (including a sunbathing area aft of the generously dimensioned fly-bridge), all fitted to a very high standard. Powered by either two 75 hp, 100hp or 160hp Volvo Penta shaft drives, its projected speed (with a pair of 100hp engines fitted) is around 15 knots. Its projected range at cruising speed is around 1,650 nautical miles.
Oh, and the price? The base is around $US300,00!
