About the ATLANTIC 57 CATAMARAN
Sail area; Main - 983 sqft Blade jib - 438 sqft Genoa - 810 sqft Spinnaker - 2,300 sqft
Designed by Chris White and built by Aquidneck Custom Inc (USA)/Alwoplast SA (CHL), the Atlantic 57 Catamaran is a rare vessel with only 11 hulls built in 2006. Its substantial displacement of 26500.0 lb and beam of 28.33 ft reflect its pedigree as a serious offshore cruiser rather than a lightweight daysailer.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced bluewater cruisers seeking a robust, heavy-displacement catamaran capable of handling heavy weather, as evidenced by the high frequency of watermaker (70 mentions) and solar panel (85 mentions) installations for self-sufficiency.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.8 and a displacement of 26500.0 lb, the Atlantic 57 is engineered for serious offshore passage-making, supported by owner reports of extensive electronics upgrades (Nexus, B&G) and heavy-duty anchoring systems (Quick, Bruce).
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other Chris White designs like the Atlantic 40 or 45, but distinct in its scale; it shares DNA with heavy-displacement monohulls like the Swan 57 due to its 26500.0 lb displacement and 3.8 capsize ratio, offering similar seakeeping qualities in a multihull format.
