#0008 25m Wavepiercer Sampitres

 

Constructed in 2002 at the Auckland, New Zealand based yard of Vaudrey Miller Yachts is this 25m addition to the LOMOcean Design stable of wavepiercer power catamarans.

 

Sampitres was selected by the Nominating Committee of the Super Yacht Society as a category finalist – Best Power 23m – 32m – for the 2003 International Superyacht Design Awards Program.

 

Intended to meet the usually conflicting requirements of passage maker and Mediterranean day boat, this 25m wavepiercer completed at least three trans-Atlantic crossings, but was also capable of a 28 knot plus sprint.

Less beamy than the 26m Ultimate Lady wavepiercer also designed by LOMOcean and winner of a 1998 Superyacht award, Sampitres was better suited to the tight berthing situations encountered in the Mediterranean, further increasing its versatility.

 

A three and a half deck motor yacht, the yacht included two double staterooms, a double cabin and two bunkrooms.
