2001 Custom Crosswater Passagemaker 49

Crosswater 49 - Island Hopper

An economical power catamaran passagemaker. With a range capability of 5000 nautical miles at 8 knots, Crosswater exemplifies the qualities of a true “passage-maker”.

The pilothouse is dedicated to high standards of navigation and watch-keeping. It is independent of social areas of the boat. Care has been taken to ensure that persons on watch can preserve their night vision while other activities are taking place in social areas. All pilot house windows are tempered safety glass, there is excellent all-around visibility.

Crosswater is a power catamaran capable of extended passages, but the fuel load can be tailored to less ambitious cruising intentions. Eight fuel tanks are connected through a polishing and transfer system. This system can provide the two rear most tanks wit fuel for the engine on each side.

Each hull is tipped with a slender foam-filled bulb backed by a heavy stern post and a collision bulkhead. Each bulb constructively interferes with the formation of the bow wave allowing for easier passage of the hulls through the water. Hull construction is wood/epoxy/fiberglass composite. Structure above the main deck is fiberglass/wood/foam/epoxy vacuum panel construction.

The boat top deck supports Atlantic Towers fiberglass and aluminum top, carrying 10 solar panels, radar and KVH HD7 dish. The spacious boat deck is likely to be the outside social area of choice at anchor or in port.
