Whiplash is a 1973 Crowther Spindrift Catamaran designed by the world-renowned Australian multihull designer Locke Crowther.
Professionally built in Auckland, New Zealand, by Tony Lawson, she was well known as a highly competitive vessel in the Auckland racing scene.
Now completely refitted with custom transom sugar scoops, bow bulbs and main cabin extended to full height, she has been transformed into a practical and comfortable liveaboard vessel. Works completed in 2020.
This is a very strong and fast passage maker that can go anywhere, perfect for offshore cruising and the liveaboard life style. The yacht comes complete with all equipment required for extended cruising
Berths: 1 double cabin, 1 king single cabin, 1 single cabin, 2 single quarter berths
