About the FASTCAT 605
Hydraulic operated swing keels. Available with a carbon hull. Displacement: 11,500 kg/25,300 lbs. Available with 2x 20kW / 27 hp electric motors.
The Fastcat 605 is a high-performance catamaran designed by Simonis Voogd Yacht Design and built by African Cats B.V. in 2011. With a build count of ? hulls, this model represents a specific era of performance-oriented multihull construction.
- Best for:
- This boat suits performance-oriented coastal cruisers and racers who prioritize speed and agility over heavy bluewater comfort, given its low comfort ratio of 7.69 and high sail area-to-displacement ratio of 37.78.
- Bluewater capability:
- While the low capsize ratio of 4.13 and variable keel options suggest reasonable offshore stability, the low comfort ratio and lightweight displacement of 28660.0 lb indicate it is better suited for protected waters and short offshore passages rather than heavy ocean voyaging.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other Simonis Voogd designs like the Fastcat 505 or 705, as well as performance catamarans from Lagoon or Fountaine-Pajot from the same era that emphasize fractional sloop rigs and lightweight construction.
