Swiss Catamaran Concept produces offshore cruising catamarans for the most discerning of clients, and the S2C 55 catamaran has been specifically designed with blue-water cruising in mind. The S2C 55 is a cat with exceptional boat-handling and the standard package comes with a comprehensive range of extras required for long passages. Our aim is to provide a top of the range product with no hidden costs for the buyer; the S2C 55 is ready for ocean-sailing as soon as she leaves our yard.

An intense programme

The S2C 55 catamaran will be showcased on many occasions over the following year:

During the Düsseldorf Boat Show, from the 22nd to the 30th January, a model of the new concept will be on display at our stand (no. 15B 25). Our experienced staff will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

In the meantime, the catamaran ‘Swisscat’, the second of two S2C 55 catamarans already built, will be delivered to the  South of France (from the yard in  Turkey where the boat was built and wintered). ‘Swisscat’ will be presented to the French public for the first time at the Salon Nautique du Multicoque de la Grande Motte (from the14th to the 17th April).

‘Swisscat’ will then sail to the Balearic Islands, where she will be showcased during Palma’s International Boat Show (April 24th to May 2nd).

Finally, the S2C 55 will be presented in  Cannes during the International Boat and Yacht Show (7th to 12th September).

The S2C 55 ‘Swisscat’ will be available for visits during all of these boat shows. If you are interested, you can also make an appointment to test-sail the boat and discover her sensational handling under sail.

New projects

Following on from the success of the S2C 55, designer Sébastien Schmidt and Swiss Catamaran are currently working on several draft projects based on the same philosophy: high level, ready-to-sail and with no hidden costs.

In response to demands from clients who love the Swiss Catamarans concept but who would ideally like a smaller yacht, we are currently developing the S2C 45. This more compact version of the original will be less than eight metres wide, enabling her to fit into most European locks and making her easier to moor in port. Like her big sister, she is fully equipped with a carbon mast and top of the range fittings. She should come with a price tag of less than €850,000.

At the same time, we have started preliminary studies for the S2C 75: a futuristic project featuring a hybrid propulsion system. We’ll have more information on this innovative project soon!   A key word: flexibility

The S2C 55 is a custom built yacht and can be personalised by her owner. The basic structure including the hull design, deck layout and carbon spars are fixed, but the fit out, colour and choice of wood for the interior can be adapted according to the client’s wishes.

SC 55 . Strong, recognizable, captivating. A catamaran with character.

Designing a boat is a matter of balance.

In designing the lines of the Swiss Catamarans 55 hull, Francois Perus and Romain Scolari focused on a design intended for fast cruising on the open sea: to sail in any sea in comfort and safety, with a fast cat, and extremely easy to steer. The result is a high-performance, wave-resistant multihull with excellent sailing properties.

Even in the renderings, the modern and powerful hull shape is evident, with low rocker to promote glide and acceleration in the wind and create dynamic lift to reduce pitching and heeling. The displacement takes into account the load requirements for a blue water cruiser where perfect balance is achieved by keeping the weights centered and the bow and stern mirrors empty.

The mast is of medium length to have a balanced sail plan between mainsail and foresail with high extension sails for greater efficiency. The sail plan also includes self-tacking jib for easier maneuvering, genoa for more power, and gennaker.

The weight study was very important in the design, and the deck is calibrated to allow for weight control and maximum interior habitability. The structure was optimized by the specialized firm Rivoyre Ingénierie with the use of carbon fibers wherever reinforcements are needed.

The deck layout is centralized around the roof, and the 2 rudders (single rudder model also available) are located in the cockpit area well protected from the weather and positioned for excellent visibility fore and aft. Remote electric control options are possible.

The overall design of the Swiss Catamarans 55 is definitely eye-catching in its look where very sharp inverted bows emphasize very high-performance hulls.

The collaboration between Marco Amadio , Christian Paulish, Swisscat Yachts and Yacht Design Collective aimed to have a catamaran rich in details but with great cleanliness in the lines that are easily recognizable by the strong identity, with typical Italian craftmanship details: low belt line and low hard top wrinkle.

The deck drains have been studied to ensure a clean and always dry deck, and the tunnel is high for performance sailing even in rough sea conditions. However, the decidedly sporty design leaves room for a spacious interior where the saloon with opening windows, good head clearance and rotates around the central island.

The deckhouse has reverse glazing to ensure perfect shading, but also a 360° panoramic view from the dinette, with no blind spots. The cabins are very bright and comfortable with spaces ergonomically designed for maximum comfort.

Equipment Swiss Catamarans 55, comes standard with retractable daggerboards to allow upwind speeds like those of a fast monohull, sailing in shallow water and approaching land in the most beautiful bays. Also standard equipment includes a carbon mast and synthetic rigging for excellent rigidity throughout the sail plan with the lowest possible center of gravity reducing pitching to a minimum.

Swiss Cat 55 can have all maneuvers operated by electric winches, such as headsails and daggerboards, mainsail traveller, jib/genoa sheet adjustment and halyards.

As every Swisscat before, the new 55 offers a wide range of truly custom options according to the owners’ preferences and of course budget. Some choices like the mast, rigging, sails, interior design, number of rudders, number of cabins, just to name a few can be left entirely to the owners wishes. We are of course very happy to give our suggestions and to help during the design process.
