Description

The Switch 51 is a classic high-performance world voyager designed by VPLP. She was built with high-tech materials for discriminating sailors at Sud Composites in Ste, France. Sud built 18 of these fine performance catamarans from 2001-2007, at which time the yard was taken over by Swiss Cat, another fine builder of boutique performance cats.

The current owner purchased Holokai in early 2021 and undertook a complete refit of the boat. Everything on the boat is new. Over $500,000 has been invested in the boat in the last 3 years:

New engines and sail drives

New standing and running rigging

New sails

New Lithium battery system

New air-conditioning

New solar panels

New electronics andradar

New tender and outboard

New watermaker

New marelon sea cocks

And much much more!

This boat is in fantastic condition just having finished a season of cruising in the Caribbean. The boat is available to be viewed in Fort Lauderdale immediately.
