HH55 – The world's finest performance cruising catamaran.
Winner of the 2017 Boat of the Year, in the Cruising Catamaran category.
Designed for a couple to handle, the HH55 sets the standard for performance luxury sailing. With its Morrelli & Melvin design pedigree, its generous interior spaces, and clever use of ultra-modern materials, the HH55 achieves a level of performance and luxury, not previously found in this genre of very fast, cruising catamarans
Performance is the backbone of this design. Available in two configurations (forward cockpit/center steering, or dual aft steering) - the HH55 is designed primarily for a couple to sail, in comfort, style and safety. However, this vessel is able to ‘kick it up a notch’ and move with speed ,when desired. Modern hull forms, the latest generation curved C daggerboards, and “T” rudders, incorporate design learnings from the latest America’s Cup campaigns. 100% carbon fiber composite sandwich construction, produces hulls and structures of incredible strength and stiffness, while interior construction of lightweight cored panels, finished with exquisite veneers, present you with the highest quality interior finishes.
Not a “cookie-cutter” high production vessel; the HH55 is offered with numerous interior and exterior layout options, allowing for customization to meet the individualized needs of the most discerning clients.
Unique styling, innovative sailing systems, beautiful interiors, and your personal input, combine to make each HH55 a truly exceptional yacht. High performance elements will make this boat a competitive racer in any venue, while its efficient design will allow you to cruise, or make easy fast passages, with comfortable +300nm days. And its unique styling and fine finish will provide comfort and ambience second to none.
No matter what you are looking for - whether you want to race, cruise Caribbean waters, explore the reaches of the South Pacific, or simply pass the time in a Mediterranean fishing port - your HH55 Super Cat will be the most talked about craft in the bay.
From the designers:
"The HH55 represents the evolution of Morrelli and Melvin's 25 years of performance catamaran designs. We blended lessons gained from three America's Cup campaigns, around the world records, 24 hour records, and over 25 custom cruising cat designs, for discerning owners, from 46ft to 90ft. We have listened to, cruised and raced with our clients to understand their needs, and incorporate these ideas and features into the design of the HH55 Super Cat .
In collaboration with Hudson Yacht's international team of design engineers and builders, we have strived to bring the best equipment, buiIding materials and techniques to this next generation performance luxury cruising cat.
Utilizing state of the art, light and strong materials, allows us to maintain an unusually high degree of Iuxury finishes and detaiIs, not normally found in performance cruising cats. The HH55 is a light and strong race boat in disguise, so owners can enjoy all the comforts of home, to make any time spent on board luxurious, fun and safe."
