MILESTONE REACHED! 60TH POWERCAT SOLD!
A new PC60 is now in build for first-time powercat owners
We are proud to have achieved a significant milestone in our 15-year history with the sale of the 60th power catamaran — a brand new PC60, now in build for first-time powercat owners.
Since our founding in 2009, when company CEO Richard Ford forged a relationship with the renown production boat yard, Horizon Yachts in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and created Horizon Power Catamarans, the Horizon powercat range has grown to include the PC52, PC60, PC68 and larger fully custom models. Having sold and built an average of four new boats per year, the company has attracted a strong client following for its advanced composites builds that includes sailors, catamaran owners and former monohull owners.
This newest PC60 has been designed with an On-Deck Master configuration as well as an open flybridge with a dayhead. Boarding from the stern, the expansive aft deck greets visitors and immediately conveys the volume and space afforded by the 61’ 7” yacht. Stairs to port lead up to the open flybridge and boat deck, while to starboard a wet bar and storage provide service to the large dining table and curved settee.
The main interior living area aboard the PC60 is comprised of a large open galley to starboard and a welcome U-shaped lounge area to port. The master stateroom occupies the full 24’ 6” beam of the main deck forward and is filled with natural light from the wraparound windows. Three additional guest cabins are positioned in the hulls. The starboard hull houses a VIP ensuite and a twin, while the port hull houses an ensuite twin as well as the master ensuite forward.
The owners specified an open flybridge configuration with a single helm chair at the navigation station bookended by raised settees to port and starboard. A dinette and wraparound settee are positioned aft to starboard while a wet bar area is found to port. Furthest aft, the open boat deck is equipped with a crane for launching the tender and is an inviting al fresco space for entertaining when the tender is deployed. A dayhead on this level adds to the convenience.
The new PC60 is equipped with an advanced Victron phosphate battery package paired with a Termodinamica variable speed air conditioning system that works in tandem to minimize generator usage and maximize onboard comfort. Coupled with the phosphate battery package from Victron, the Termodinamica variable speed, freon-cooled air conditioning system keeps the interior cool, dry and quiet for nearly 20 hours on battery power alone.
Unlike most production yacht builders, Horizon Power Catamarans uniquely offers a high level of customization with each build. Owners work alongside company co-founder Leigh Ford on outfitting their interior to their desired preferences and each yacht is outfitted with precise detail for maximum functionality. This extra attention to each build includes the incorporation of new technologies that offer improved performance, safety and onboard living.
“For a powercat line that sees the majority of its models and owners enjoying the tranquil waters and protected anchorages of The Bahamas, embracing silent cruising and living is not only environmentally sensible, it is the logical step for our next-generation power catamarans,” says The Powercat Company Founder and CEO Richard Ford. “We are extremely proud of the continuous evolution of the Horizon powercat range and this 60th build milestone reflects that our clients agree.
