How This Pioneering New Catamaran Builder Is Creating the ‘Ferrari of Sailing Cats’

Multimillion-dollar sailing cats are a small but fiercely contested niche, mostly dominated by European brands. So it’s worth paying attention when an eight-year-old builder from China is considered a legitimate challenger to pedigreed French names such as Privilege and Lagoon .

HH Catamarans , with a line ranging from fast, wave-jumping 50-foot cruisers to 88-foot ocean yachts, has gained a loyal following in the US and Europe, in part because COO Paul Hakes—he’s one of the H’s in “HH”—is obsessed with mating upscale interiors to featherweight racing hulls.

Hakes assembled what he calls a “mini-UN” of expat experts at HH’s production headquarters in Xiamen, China. Naval architecture is done by the California-based firm Morelli & Melvin . The yachts are built by local labor: With an average of 40,000 man-hours per cat, the labor savings add up significantly, allowing HH to focus on superior performance through exotic materials and expensive carbon-fiber weaves. “We’re determined to make HH the Ferrari of sailing cats,” Hakes says.

Befitting that famed Italian marque, the HH55 and HH66 are sleek, nimble and beautiful vessels, though the HH88, with its exponentially larger interior and oceangoing hull, is more
 like a Mercedes-AMG G-Wagen. But to stick to automotive analogies, it’s worth mentioning that HH’s upstart nature makes it more like Lamborghini , founded to challenge Enzo Ferrari’s already successful brand—and we all know how that turned out.

HH60 Sport Cruising

Sail performance.

Description

For those seeking limitless adventure and unbridled speed, the new HH60, with its powerful rig plan, extra-large cockpit, king size beds, and deep daggerboards, is sure to ignite the imagination. The fully refined, performance optimized HH60 will provide the ultimate platform for whatever lies over the horizon. The HH60-SC is a “no-compromise” performance catamaran with dual raised aft helms, king size beds, C-shaped carbon daggerboards, and stunning performance in a size that can still be owner operated by an experienced crew. Luxury and speed are elevated when you have the ability to expand. The hulls boast king size beds aft and a generously sized owner’s ensuite reserves space forward of the shower that makes for a perfect crew quarters or office. Meanwhile, the elongated platform and taller rig boost performance to a level akin to our flagship HH66 (complete with optional tiller chairs). Whether racing in the multihull circuit or simply cruising the world with wind speed performance, the HH60 will set a new standard in sailing performance and luxury. The HH60 has been designed from the ground up to work with a parallel diesel/electric hybrid, a large solar array on the cabin top and hydro-regeneration while sailing. Our EcoDrive provides all the benefits of an electric boat: silent fume free motoring, instant torque for maneuvering, and hydro-regeneration while sailing; while also providing the reliability of trusty diesel engines as a back up. For the technology shy, traditional standalone diesel engines with shaft drives are also offered.

HH Catamarans

The HH name comes from the 2 main drivers behind the company: Hudson Wang, who is the owner of Hudson Yacht and Marine and Paul Hakes, an experienced boat builder from New Zealand. The design team is headed by James Hakes, Warren Muir and James Juan who work closely with Morrelli and Melvin Design .

The philosophy at HH is quality with no compromise which will give you an idea of how they position their catamarans in the market in terms of price. To achieve this, they work with partners such as Morrelli and Melvin, Southern Spars, Harken, North Sails and Cay Electronics.

After Sales

To provide that they have set up a SWAT team (the Service Worldwide Anytime Team) to help fix those boat problems that we all experience from time to time.

So far, we’ve heard good feedback on this front, from Seabattical for example, one of their OC50 owners.

The Fast Cat Connection

Hudson Marine were involved in the manufacture of the Gunboat 60, designed by Nigel Irens. The companies eventually went their separate ways and HH Catamarans was born.

HH focused on developing their own line of performance cats designed by Morrelli and Melvin and the rest is history.

HH Catamarans – Models

The first fast cat to come off the production line was the HH66. You can read our full HH66 review here. They really laid down the gauntlet with this first design and it has become one of those aspirational cats and their flagship model.

HH66 Nemo has been pretty successful on the racing circuit.

Following the 66 footer came the HH55, shorter than the original boat, but still highly tuned for speed with a luxurious finish. This was a move to appeal to couples setting off on long distance cruises- now a key target market for this brand.

Read our HH55 Review here .

Prospective buyers were requesting a size that was even more manageable for a couple sailing around the world, so the HH50 was developed.

HH44 SC and OC

HH announced the launch of the HH44 in August 2021. Available as a fully carbon fibre yacht or e-glass and carbon with innovative features such as the swinging dual aft helms and a closed transom. They have developed this as an ECO boat with an option for electric propulsion (parallel hybrid).

The first hull was shown in Cannes in 2023. This boat is being heavily featured in the Gone with the Wynns YouTube channel.

The parallel hybrid system operates in different modes:

1. Standard mode – diesel engines with the hybrid system disengaged.

2. Engine mode – operate the diesel engines with all extra horsepower  used to charge the large battery bank.

3. Generator mode – Disengage the clutch in the prop shaft and use the two diesel engines as two 6kW DC generators.

4. Silent mode – Disengage the electric motors from the diesel engines and run on the electric motors which provide 10kW of silent propulsion power per shaft (20kW total)

5. Hydro-Regen mode – while sailing, disengage the electric motors from the diesel engines, open the folding props and allow it to free-spin, generating electricity for free!

Designed with disabled sailors in mind, the HH44 Open was designed by HH Catamarans with the Disabled Sailors Association (DSA) of the UK. The design enables sailors to easily get on and off the boat, down into the hulls with full chair turning room, and up onto the side decks and foredeck.

HH52 SC and OC

Announced in 2022, the HH52 will be available in all carbon (SC) or e-glass (OC). The OC version of this yacht is built using a mixture of e-glass and carbon fibre while the SC version is 100% carbon fibre.

Includes the parallel hybrid EcoDrive option, this yacht is offered in both forward helm and dual aft helm versions.

For those seeking more speed, the HH60, with its powerful rig plan, bigger cockpit and deep daggerboards slots into the range between the 55 and 66. The example above has the single raised bimini like HH55-05, giving an even sleeker profile

The HH77 is a Supercat concept with the option to completely customise the layout. She can be powered with a Parallel Hybrid “Eco Drive”.

HH announced the development of an 80 foot supercatamaran at the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival. The HH80 will accommodate eight guests and three crew, and will come with an option for the parallel hybrid Eco-drive while powering house systems with solar and hydro regeneration.

HH have also launched an 88 foot superyacht called Sketch to Sea. In fact, HH will custom build yachts of this type from 77 feet. The first cat has a flybridge (this is optional) with an all-carbon construction plus carbon mast and rigging,

OCEAN SERIES (HH OC Series)

Note, these have been rebranded the HH OCs. We have kept them separate as there are a few differences (single raised helm, keels).

Although they specialise in light, luxurious performance cats, HH have branched out into the Ocean Series with the launch of the OC50 now known as the HH50 OC. The design closely follows that of the HH50 SC, but she is constructed in e-glass and has fixed keels with winglets rather than dagger-boards.

The whole range is targeting long distance cruising couples who are looking for an easier boat to handle, but that remains a high performance machine.

Read our OC50 review here .

In development is a flybridge version called the OC56.

The sister ship to the HH44 SC, the HH44 OC is closely related, but designed as more of a cruising boat for those on a sharper budget. With high-performance fixed skegs instead of daggerboards and a gel-coat finish instead of paint.

She comes a single swing-helm and twin diesel propulsion, with an option to upgrade to twin swing-helms and the EcoDrive power system.
