HELIOTROPE 48: Pleasure cat built to blend high comfort with high performance

摘要

Designed and built in Thailand - by Albatross Marine Design (AMD) and Bakricono Shipyard, respectively - the concept behind the new Heliotrope 48 (H48) class is to match eyecatching shapes and striking colours with practical functionality and operational efficiency, so as to create a genuinely unique entrant to the power catamaran yacht market. This market has undergone a surge of popularity in recent years, and remains a potential growth area for yachting enthusiasts who may not be able to afford the 'full trimmings' of a luxury yacht, but whose wallets can stretch to a quality recreational vessel that does not require the presence of permanent crew, nor extensive mooring fees.
