1999 St Francis

If you are dreaming about setting sail on a safe, comfortable and proven blue water cruising catamaran - do not miss this opportunity!This 1999 St. Francis 44 MKII is designed by renowned naval architect, Angelo Lavranos, and built by St. Francis Marine in South Africa as a sailing machine. Constructed with solid fiberglass below the water line and vinyl ester resin infused core cell foam sandwich above the water line, Majestic is strong and capable.A testament to its sailing performance, a St. Francis 44 won the 1994 Cape to Rio Race. In 1999 the 44 was redesigned for additional comfort with an increased bridge deck clearance and increased headroom and given the designation MKII.
