Proven Bluewater Performance Catamaran Q2 is a rare opportunity to own a true offshore-capable performance cruising catamaran. Designed by renowned naval architect Angelo Lavranos (St. Francis 50, Knysna 50) in partnership with respected Kiwi designer Alan Wright, Q2 stands apart as a fast, strong and well-balanced vessel purpose-built for serious sailing.
Constructed in New Zealand by Catamarans NZ to full commercial survey standards, Q2 is hull #3 of a limited production series focused on strength, safety and performance. Her composite build includes high-density closed-cell foam core, vinylester skin, Kevlar reinforcement in the bows and keel bases, and carbon fibre at high-load areas. With five watertight compartments per hull, deep bilges and forward crash zones, Q2 delivers true offshore reliability and peace of mind.
With sleek lines and refined proportions, Q2 turns heads in every anchorage. Her sailing performance is equally impressive, cruising easily at over 9 knots and surfing above 12, she handles ocean miles with speed and confidence. Q2 recently completed a Pacific circuit from New Zealand to Japan via Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu and Micronesia, clearly demonstrating her capability.
Q2 has been extensively upgraded between 2022 and 2024, with over AUD $160,000 invested to enhance performance, comfort and reliability. She is currently cruising Japan, fully commissioned and ready to continue offshore. Below deck, Q2 offers a warm and welcoming interior crafted from heartwood kauri sourced from the first owner’s property.
The layout is ideal for liveaboard life, featuring two queen aft cabins, two single berths and a double forward, two heads, a U-shaped galley-up, and a washer/dryer. Systems include twin Yanmar diesels, Furuno instruments, Andersen winches and a comprehensive range of cruising equipment and spares. Q2 represents a rare chance to acquire a genuinely capable, turn-key catamaran built for sailors who value performance, safety and enduring quality.
