- Description:
The Dazcat D10 is a fast and comfortable sports cruising catamaran with powerful rig and ample crusing amenities. She has a 49 ft 2 in (15 m) mast and 700 sq ft (65 sq m) of upwind sail and a 646 sq ft (60 sq m) reacher to give her exhilerating performance both on and off the wind.
Accommodation is ample and roomy with standing headroom throught. Both hulls have double cabins with 6 ft 6 in (2 m) long berths, and the heads and shower area has hot and cold pressurised water.
All lines can be controlled from the cockpit for convenient sail trimming, making the Dazcat 10 easy to cruise single-handed and race short-handed.
Auxiliary power is from a 9.9HP Yamaha outboard positioned under the cockpit sole in the central nacelle. Twin helm positions with hydraulic steering on the bridgedeck bulkhead give good all-round vision and control.
Retractable daggerboards and rudders make her easy to beach. Drawing only 0.45 m (1 ft 6 in) with boards and rudders up, she can make easy use of small private anchorages and moorings that dry out.
Options include open deck, bridgedeck and custom versions; fully finished and equipped boats as well as kits for home completion are available.
The Dazcat 10 is a European RCD (Recreational Craft Directive) Category A vessel.
