       Elizabeth is a 50'-6" motor catamaran for inter-Island and protected water cruising. Although unusual as a motor yacht, power catamarans have been used to great advantage in commercial work and benefit from their great stability, large deck space, and excellent maneuverability.

       Her great beam allows all accommodation to be on the main deck level. Because of her light displacement a spacious interior is not a luxury but a necessity, a small price to pay. The interior is laid out in two cabins with sliding glass doors onto the aft deck, and mirrored sliding closet doors. The owners stateroom has a private vanity and shower. The guest cabin adjoins the ship's washroom with separate entrance. Forward to port and starboard are sliding doors leading onto the deck. A utility room is also shown with washer, dryer, and linen closet. There is a deck storage locker on the outboard side of the stack venting. The galley has a dish washer, fridge-freezer, and stove with oven and hood venting out the stack. The galley counter continues on into the dining room to form the top of the table which seats four but can be extended to seat seven. To port there is a hanging locker with lockers for china, cutlery, or liquor. The lounge has a hide-a-bed settee and a fireplace on a tiled floor which vents through the stack. Forward is a wood locker, large chart table, and ships helm with electrical panels. To port and starboard are sliding doors to the deck. A vacuum system is piped through the boat for easy maintenance. There is considerable upper deck space with access from the lower deck aft, up the ladder. A 13 foot dinghy is shown with a 20 h.p. outboard and electric boat davit. 30" lifelines close off some of the larger openings.

       The boat is built using our New Epoxy Wood System (N.E.W.S.) which has been so successful. It is essentially a fiberglass hull and deck on the outside with a beautiful wooden interior. the boat can be easily home built by anyone with a little wood and fiberglass experience. This method is also suitable for limited production building at a very reasonable cost.

       All machinery is housed in the two hulls to reduce noise with access through deck hatches. There is easy access to the engine from the front and back with additional access to the 250 gallons of water, 150 gallons of fuel, and 7.5 kw generator. The steering is hydraulic and controls both rudders. A four man life raft is housed under the aft deck of each hull.

       Elizabeth would be ideal for a couple living afloat as she has abundant living space with low running costs. She will give big ship comfort to all those who cruise on her.
