Last week a customer asked what was the price of the Proteus 106 cataramran
kit (35ft),the reply was R180,000 plus vat,if thats applicable to you(not on exports) we then discussed a similar sized vessel (34ft) but in GRP (glass reinfored plastic) a local yard offers a set of mouldings for R410,000 plus vat,which in effect means if we add in the Vat portion on both boats we are spending R262,000 more on the GRP version,which if added to the ply/epoxy kit means you have enough to euip the boat you have just built,its this kind of saving that makes our kit such good value when you do the build youreslf,our Proteus 106 looks better too!
Proteus 10.6m Sailing Catamaran
This Lavranos Marine Design is a perfect small family ocean cruising cat. It is designed to offer a sufficient load carrying capacity to do ocean crossings with a family, at low cost and capable of amateur construction with a minimum amount of labour and skill. This simple, strong, fast, comfortable and cheap boat is also aimed at being practical & enjoyable for local use. She is also small enough for easy shorthanded use.
The interior consists of four berths
(two doubles + 2 singles), a saloon settee, a practical galley, and a toilet compartment, all with standing headroom.
She is configured with two machinery and keel variations; A 4 stroke 20HP outboard on a hinging nacelle is fitted for economy, as is tiller steering, with "kick up" rudders. The other choice is that a saildrive "single cylinder baby diesel" can be fitted, as can fixed mini keels.
The rig is the simplest possible
