The Flybridge 45 And 49

Both however have larger saloon and galley arrangements, with the helm station located on the fully enclosed flybridge. The styling is similar to the 49ft Donna Rose and the 52ft Bathurst with the front section of the lower cabin actually part of the front bedroom on the 49 version. Flybridge type power catamarans have been very popular in this size range with Peter having built 40 himself, with many more built by others to his designs, as they provide the largest amount of usable space for their length and the view from the flybridge helm is excellent in all conditions. This extra space does however come at a cost in both labour and materials and so they are the most expensive and heaviest option in the range for their length.
