250000

Designed by the world renowned Van Peteghem and Lauriot Prevost (VPLP). She was built in France in 1992 and powered by twin 40hp diesels. The Kennex 445 was designed as a capable world cruiser, they are one of the widest (24.9' / 7.5 mts) catamaran of their range (this width is usually found in 50 foot or larger catamarans). As catamaran safety and stability is given by its width, beam is am important factor when considering catamaran options. There is no wood, plywood, balsa anywhere in the superstructure (deck, walls, bulkheads, reinforcements) of this boat. Wood and plywood was used in the interior furniture only. It is all built in polyester resin over Airex (closed cells PVC foam), using vacuum bag and infusion technics. Hulls below waterline are solid fiberglass. Very light, reliable and durable.
All the bulkheads (8 per hull) are built in fiberglass over Airex sheets and glassed to the hull.
