A €1,000,000 price drop has been announced on the 33.7-metre sailing catamaran Mousetrap, listed for sale with Georges Bourgoignie of Fraser. According to the broker, Mousetrap "is enjoying some cruising in the Lofoten Islands" following her successful transatlantic crossing from the United States.
Built by French yard JFA Yachts in 2012, the world's largest carbon-fibre cruising catamaran was designed by renowned naval architects VPLP with inspiration from the multihull racing world. Meanwhile, interior styling was handled by Swiss studio Cittolin Polli & Associés SA.
Designed for both comfort and performance, Mousetrap accommodates eight to nine guests in four cabins. The yacht also features multiple areas for socialising, including a spacious saloon, sheltered aft deck, sun deck and a Jacuzzi on the foredeck.
The broker pointed out: "With large volumes and a wide, open interior made possible by her carbon fibre superstructure, which removes the need for posts or bulkheads, she’s spacious enough to host all the family on board."
Benefits of a catamaran include increased stability and a low draught, enabling access to more remote anchorages and shallow waters nearer to the beach than monohulls with a deeper draught would be able to achieve. Mousetrap draws only 2.4 metres.
The 240GT sailing yacht for sale has proved herself as a capable seafaring vessel, having crossed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Lying in Bergen, Norway, Mousetrap is now asking €16,950,000.
