Southampton based Discovery Yachts launches its much heralded Discovery 50 Cat at this year's Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show. Designed by the renowned Bill Dixon, with an interior styled by Superyacht specialist Ken Freivokh, the Discovery 50 Cat is the first multihull from this highly respected British yard which has gained an enviable reputation for its 55 and 67 foot ocean going monohulls.

Dixon Yacht Design has produced a really stylish yacht with a very fine bow, sweeping deck profile and stunningly shaped windows which together provide an elegant and sleek profile, unique in its class. The hull configuration has been developed to ensure a comfortable sea motion and rapid passage making capability.

The Discovery 50 Cat follows the concept of the company's other yachts, being designed for effortless sailing by just two people with complete safety and comfort. Designed to meet or exceed the European Recreational Craft Directive Category A (Ocean) the Discovery 50 Cat is capable of cruising the worlds oceans in total luxury. The mainsail includes electric in-mast reefing and all winches are electrically operated. The yacht can be sailed, reefed and sails stowed without helm or crew leaving the cockpit - important for shorthanded cruising. 

Discovery Yachts is known for its high quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail and the Discovery 50 Cat displays all of these qualities. The superb interior has a choice of layouts proving comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to eight in four cabins each with en suite heads and showers or six people in three cabins featuring a massive owners suite forward, with "his and hers" heads and showers. The main saloon, and galley area is sumptuous in its fittings and enjoys panoramic views around the yacht. The outside area is ideal for entertaining many guests in outstanding comfort. The foredeck has an inbuilt hot tub for further enjoyment of the time at anchor.

The Discovery 50 Cat takes the design and handling of catamarans to new standards. This launch is the world first of this new breed of catamarans and can be seen in the show marina on Berth D018.
