About the MAJESTIC 500
Royal Cape Catamarans acquired the molds for the Van de Stadt-designed Royal Cape One Design which were then used to built the Majestic 500 catamaran. Optional 2x 75hp turbo Volvo
The Majestic 500 is a South African-built catamaran designed by an unknown designer and constructed by Royal Cape Catamarans between 2005 and 2019. With a production count of unknown hulls, this 49.21 ft LOA vessel offers a spacious 28.71 ft beam and a displacement of 33069.0 lb, positioning it as a substantial cruising platform.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal and nearshore cruisers who prioritize interior volume and stability, given its fractional sloop rig and moderate comfort ratio of 12.35. It appeals to owners seeking a wide-beamed catamaran for relaxed, protected-water sailing rather than high-performance racing.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.58 and a displacement of 33069.0 lb, the Majestic 500 possesses the stability and mass required for offshore passages, though its specific bluewater history is not detailed in the available data.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Lagoon 450 and Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42, which share similar production eras and fractional sloop rigs. These models are comparable due to their similar beam widths and target market of luxury coastal cruisers, though the Majestic offers a distinct South African build origin.
