The extreme cruising catamaran you can buy too

At the helm of this catamaran you can feel virtually unstoppable because it is prepared for any weather. A 21-meter extreme explorer with up to 1,000 miles of range at 30 knots and a top speed of more than 50 knots. The beauty of the T-2000 Voyager is that it was born for cruising. Doing so is the shipyard Safehaven Marine, based in Youghal, Ireland, and specializing in pilot boats, S.A.R.’s and patrol boats. If you’re looking for an “out-of-the-box” means of getting around the world, here you are.

From the pictures, not many people could imagine it as a cruising cat. The point, however, is that we can liken this vehicle to the 4×4 motorhomes, those “camper” trucks that we occasionally see circulating headed for faraway destinations. There are those who have crossed deserts, tens of thousands of miles and otherwise unreachable places touched. Here, the spirit of this T-2000 seems to be just the same. With this catamaran propelled by surface propellers you can take on all kinds of waves, seas. Extreme conditions (as the photo above shows) are certainly no obstacle for a unit like this.

In sailing they would call it bluewater, that is, those boats designed for long nonstop sailing. Ocean crossings? Also! This 21.4-meter catamaran, in addition to making a top speed of more than 50 knots, at slower speeds has arange of more than 2,500 nautical miles at 10 knots, depending on the fuel tank (5,000 to 11,000 liters). And at 30 knots? 1,000 miles. In short, you could make it from Cape Verde to the Canary Islands in one pull at 30 knots while leaving some reserve, as common sense advises. Propelling it are two 1,500-horsepower MAN V12 engines with France Hélices SD5 surface propellers.
