Description
The Shuttleworth35 is a performance‑oriented cruising catamaran designed by multihull specialist John Shuttleworth, created to deliver comfortable liveaboard space without compromising sailing speed, windward ability, or offshore seakeeping. SV Malihini has crossed the Pacific Ocean 3 times!
Built using Airex foam‑sandwich composite construction with glass‑fiber skins and Kevlar reinforcement, the Shuttleworth 35 achieves a strong, lightweight hull that enhances both performance and payload capacity. Its flared hull design increases interior volume dramatically while maintaining low windage, giving it a spacious feel unmatched by similar‑length catamarans.
