Altair

 Home-built from plans

Brand:

Tennant

Designed by:

Malcolm Tennant Multihull Design Limited

Description:

The Altair is a serious cruising boat with a generous full load displacement, which allows for a good load carrying capability without compromising the height of the bridgedeck off the water or the boat's performance. It is likely to float a little high at the launching but the designer wryly comments that the average owner will be able to add enough gear to sink it down to its designed waterline within a year.
