Skoota 32

Designed by Jacques Mertens

A 9.9 m (32 ft 6 in) live-aboard cruising power catamaran by Richard Woods of Woods Designs, also listed by Bateau. Like all his power cats it is semi-displacement: hard-chine flat-bottomed hulls, veed forward against slamming and full aft to resist squatting. Beam is 4.85 m, hull draft 1 ft 6 in, headroom 6 ft 4 in and loaded displacement about 4,100 kg. Twin 40 to 60 hp four-stroke outboards give a 12 knot cruise and 17 knots flat out. The first boat was launched in 2018.

The designer's page describes flat-panel foam sandwich construction made on simple melamine tables, which amateurs can also use. Expect a multi-year project for an experienced builder; as a rule of thumb budget 3,000 to 5,000 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
