SPRING CLEANING

Regatta season is in full swing and the HH fleet is getting in on the action with gusto. HH66 Nemo kicked off the schedule with the BVI Spring Regatta. Nemo cleaned up the competition and was first to finish in five out of six races over multiple days of racing against a tough fleet of competitors. Nemo's impressive, hull-flying performance was the talk of the docks, and landed them in 3rd Place overall after the corrected times were scored and tallied. In ten day's time, Nemo will face off against sister ship, HH66 Nala, at Les Voiles de St. Barths. We can't wait to watch what is sure to be an epic battle unfold.
BUSINESS IS BLOOMING
HH44-01 in the Paint Booth
HH44-01 is slated for delivery in just a few short months, with subsequent hulls following closely behind. With 35 hulls sold and the first 11 already in production, the HH44 has surpassed expectations and is poised to make waves when she debuts this Fall. The HH44 is expected to be a nominee in the Boat of the Year, European Yacht of the Year, and Multihull of the Year competitions. In anticipation of a flurry of interest and new orders, the HH yard in Cebu will be coming online this month, allowing for simultaneous production lines and a significantly improved production outlook. We are excited to announce that current lead times for new builds have been reduced by an entire year. To learn more about current availability and pricing, please contact sales@hhcatamarans.com.
The fifth and final episode of the HH44 Design Series is live. In this episode, James and Paul Hakes compare the two versions of the HH44, the Ocean Cruising and Sport Cruising models. They go into detail about the many ways the HH44-OC, our "cruisiest" and most price-conscious model, shares the same design ethos and construction techniques as our all-carbon, luxury performance models, far surpassing the build quality, finish, reliability and sailing characteristics of any comparably priced production catamaran on the market. They also examine the fully loaded HH44-SC version, with carbon mast and longeron, daggerboards, EcoDrive, massive solar array, and more, all standard, further differentiating it from the crowd. Check out the video and contact sales@hhcatamarans.com to receive detailed specifications and pricing for either model.
SPRING FORWARD
The New HH52-SCF
The newly announced HH52 continues to gain momentum. An evolution of the award-winning HH50, the HH52's powerful rig and sail plan, hybrid electric EcoDrive, modern styling, refined interior arrangement, and optional aft or forward helm configuration have made it a hit with prospective buyers. 2025 deliveries are available, contact sales@hhcatamarans.com for more information.

HH Catamarans' first entry into Superyacht territory is set to launch soon. The M&M designed HH88 features six guest cabins, a deck level master suite, an enclosed flybridge helm station, an 8-person jacuzzi, a chef's galley with full sized appliances, and a backlit, inlayed marble bar in the main salon. The build is being chronicled by owners Sean and Jamie, on their Youtube channel Sketch to Sea. The project, over three years in the making, is the realization of a lifelong dream, and as it nears completion, emotions are high. For real-time updates follow Sketch to Sea on Instagram and stay tuned for announcements about when and where you may be able to see this extraordinary yacht.
SWEET AS HONEY
In March we saw the completion and dispatch of HH50-07 (007!) Honey Ryder, which is currently en-route to Florida for commissioning. Although this boat faced some delays due to Covid-19 shutdowns, supplier constraints and internal expansion challenges, we could not be more proud of this latest HH50, which features our new “GT” style rig and the sleeker looking Bimini design that was developed with HH50-06. We wish the new owners many years of enjoyment on their new yacht (and we love the name)!
