English
Prismo’ is the twin-head, double-cabin version of the Dazcat 1495, though she can sleep more using the sea berth in the navigation area or by dropping the saloon table and creating a massive snug/ sleeping area in the saloon, which is also a great place to relax.
Prismo was designed as a cruising cat that can also race competitively.
Having been designed and built to a high specification and finish, it has maintained its great looks superbly and comes with many extras. She was originally built in conjunction with a very experienced owner and sailor who knew exactly what he wanted and had the build time to get it right. Prismo took 22000-man hours to build and has exceptional construction, detailing and equipment.
Prismo is fitted with the best deck gear on offer from, Harken, Antal, Lewmar, Karver and Spinlock. All halyards and reef lines are Dyneema/ Technora for increased strength and wear & tear.
The main structure build and fit out was done by Multimarine whose reputation for creating robust, stiff, light-weight, high-quality, bespoke crafts is well established. They have built some of the most innovative boats in the UK over the last two decades. Prismo has also beneffitted from annual lift, storage and servicing at her home yard.
The 1495’s hull is vacuum infused with Vinylesther resin, Divinycell PVC foam, E-glass and Carbon Fibre, creating an incredibly stiff structure. “No Squeaking here”
The boat has been hand finished with an Awlgrip paint system, ‘Snow White’ with contrasting black detailing.
