Turkish U4 Marine has announced the sale of the 32-metre cruising catamaran, which is scheduled for delivery in May 2026 

Construction started early in 2024, but the news about it has just been made public. The project’s exterior design and naval architecture are both owed to New Zealand-based Greg Young Design studio.

To produce the hull the manufacturer used a “revolutionary infusion process” engineered by French Rivoyre Ingenierie that specializes in composite and aluminium constructions. This technology implies three different infusion processes for the hull and superstructure so as to guarantee an optimal resin-to-fibre ratio and a more robust framework for the vessel.

There are four cabins on board, several exterior lounging areas, including a large flybridge with a bar and a jacuzzi, as well as fold-out balconies. 

The catamaran will feature a 40.5-metre rotating mast and a furling boom, which will all be controlled by push-button systems. The yacht will be equipped with a hybrid propulsion system, including a 250 kWh battery bank, which can be recharged by the main engine, the solar panels with an area of 70 sq.m, or a regeneration system via the propeller, when the yacht is under way. The catamaran is expected to be able to reach a top speed of 20 knots.
