Blue Wonder, a Broadblue Rapier 550, is entered in this year’s ARC rally for cruisers in Class IV, Multihulls. Watch this space for what we  believe will be an incredibly competitive performance.

A new look at fast cruising, the Rapier 550 by Broadblue Catamarans brings together an incredible combination of high performance, high specification and radical new design. The 550 is a new generation of innovation; beautiful, high performance catamarans with a true racing heritage, giving class-leading performance.

Intelligent electronics, navigation and radically simple innovative sail handling is standard, as are creative, contemporary, luxury interiors.

The Rapier 550 is made using Carbon fibre Infused epoxy making it a fast, light and extremely good-looking boat. With a cruising speed of up to 15 knots, this boat has the capability of covering 300 nautical miles per day. The key to the success of the Rapier 550 is the forward helm position from where the skipper can keep a clear watch at high speed and also control all of the sails. Two additional tiller helm position are provided outside for days when the weather is not too hot nor too cold.
