Diane M. Byrne: The timing is perfect for catamarans now. Twenty years ago, a few companies tried, but consumers weren\u2019t in the right mindset yet. There also were some beautiful designs, but they tended to slam underway.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Martin Lo:<\/strong> Well, we\u2019ve been building catamarans, so we\u2019re very familiar with the pros and cons. With this new government initiative, we\u2019ve come up with a new house design, very low wash, very efficient. We have the hope that perhaps we can convert it into a yacht and then offer hybrid propulsion as an option. We learn from the commercial sectors and apply it, so for us, it becomes second nature and the owner will have peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diane M. Byrne: The design is nice too, it\u2019s very sleek. I also like how there\u2019s an alternate arrangement. Most builders put all the staterooms down in the hulls because that\u2019s the way it\u2019s always done.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hans Lo:<\/strong>\u00a0The layout of the boat itself is just spectacular. So many lounging areas on the sun deck and on the main deck, plus the four staterooms. The beauty of the catamaran once again is all this space. We can have four staterooms, and there\u2019s actually an extra stateroom that you can convert for other use. You know, a massage room, a nursery. There\u2019s just so much that you can do layout-wise on a boat like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n –<\/p>\n\n\n\n –<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diane M. Byrne: Even with the hulls being narrow on a catamaran, the crew aren\u2019t squashed here the way they are on so many other catamarans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hans Lo:<\/strong>\u00a0For our crew quarters, the space is very generous. They all have their own rooms. We\u2019re working with an interior design company called Super Tomato in China. They have a lot of award-winning designs and expertise in the hotel and retail space. And because the designer is an avid boater himself\u2014he participates in regatta racing \u2014 he has a strong passion for coming up with this design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Martin Lo:<\/strong> And then of course, because everyone\u2019s looking towards a greener future, I think that the hybrid propulsion for this boat might be also a very attractive proposition. And then thanks to the fact that we have a strong commercial sector, the hybrid propulsion system will be robust, commercially tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diane M. Byrne: Well, everyone\u2019s trying to be more mindful. But at the same time, people are still averse to risk, so they want to make sure that things are already proven and reliable. That, and the fact that you\u2019re working with Incat Crowther, is a benefit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Martin Lo: We\u2019ve been working with Incat Crowther, a renowned multi-hull designer, for various projects. This hull is actually already tested because we have commercially built eight of them. So there\u2019s a lot less to worry about. Besides the catamaran project, we also engage Incat Crowther for our monohull projects. As a matter of fact, they designed a high-speed crew boat for us. We work with various designers all over the world. It\u2019s fun; we learn from them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2388","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/clyachts.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/2388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/clyachts.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/clyachts.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/clyachts.com\/zh-hans\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/clyachts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Yachts_Management_Hans-Lo_03_landscape-low-1024x683.jpg\")
