Fiberglass/Reinforced
Strong, Light, and FAST
"Green Flash" Is Extraordinary
The Osborn 42 was a collaborative project between Bruce Osborne and Dave Calvert (Calvert Sail-loft). Her hulls are based on the fast and proven Super Shockwave 42 by legendary multihull designer Lock Crowther of Australia. Morelli and Melvin (Playstation maxi cat designers) did the structural engineering, and the underwater foils were designed by Bill Roberts (designer of the Supercat and RC27 and 30).
Osborn and Calvert set out to build a cat that could be ultra competitive in open water racing, and cruised in relative comfort. The builders utilized carbon fiber, epoxy and Corecell construction to make her incredibly light and strong, weighing in around 7,500 lbs. A 16:1 hull fineness ratio makes her incredibly fast (popular trailerable trimarans have a 8:1 ratio, and are considered fast). With her high-tech construction, deep daggerboards and spade rudders, this cat will outpoint any other cat of similar size to weather.
She raced the Miami to Nassau race in '05 and '06, winning both in corrected time and first to finish. Her previous owner reports her top speed was 27 knots in race mode. She now cruises between 8-12 knots in her current configuration.
Her current owner of the past 7 years has taken the boat one step further and has customized her into a true blue water fast cruiser. Green flash safely cruised from the Gulf Coast of FL, through the South Pacific and is now located in Hawaii.
Green flash is a one of a kind catamaran that will appeal to go-fast sailors that prefer boat speed over extravagant interiors.
Her owner is currently anchored in Molokai, HI. Make an appointment to see her in Hawaii, before her owner makes his next jump to New Zealand.
