Chamberlin Performance Cruising Catamaran 12.0
Beautiful performance catamaran - she has curves!
Montage is light weight, has easily driven narrow hulls, high bridge deck clearance and low sail plan for excellent stability. She's fast, safe and economical to run. She can sail at windspeed above 6 knots and cruises at 7.5 knots on two engines or 6 knots on one engine.
Sleeps upto eight people in two main cabins with large double and queen beds, two single berth quaterberths and the possibility to convert the saloon table into a double bed. She's more comfortable cruising with 4-6 people.
The sail wardrobe is either new or unused. Mainsail 2023, blade jib 2023, screecher 2024, storm jib unused, spinnaker barely used.
She was re-rigged in 2023 and most of her running rigging has been upgraded or replaced.
Full rub back anti-foul in April 2025 - ready for the winter cruising season!
The twin 21 HP Nanni diesel engines have been regularly serviced and come with a large spare inventory includeing spare starter motor. All hoses were replaced in 2024. New heat exchangers in 2021. Sail drive seals replaced in 2023.
Features a unique manual mainsheet dump control system (details and demonstration in the video). Never needed, but nice to have.
She is 12 metres long, 7m wide and draws only 0.9m with the daggerboards up.
Vessel located in Townsville.
