TOPCAT Avanti
Entry-level beach catamaran designed for sailing schools and resorts
Context
The AVANTI was developed to address the need for a robust entry-level beach catamaran for sailing schools and resorts. The primary focus was on durability, ease of handling, and suitability for intensive daily use.
Product
