Gunboat G4

Is the foiling G4 the future of cruising catamarans? Only time will tell, but there is no doubt the G4 is the fastest cat that has accommodations for a family. With a board-up draft of only 1 foot 6 inches, the G4 can be considered an environmentally friendly beach cat—it has a centerline electric auxiliary. LOA 39’10”; Beam 22’3”; Draft 1’10” (boards down), 8’ (boards up); Displ. 5,950; Sail area 1,378 sq. ft., www.gunboat.com. Price: $800,000
