Current models: 38' power cat and a 52' sailing cat

Developed by anchor yachts, built by pacific seacraft in the usa, razor cat 38 – foiling performance power cat.

The Razor Cat 38 is your “escape pod” for adventure cruising. Providing performance, efficiency, and comfort on the water through the unique features and well thought design. The foil system increases efficiency by up to 40% over non-foiling boats, while improving performance and ride comfort. With 400 gallons of fuel aboard you have a 500+ mile range cruising at 30 knots, with a top speed of 45 knots. A key design element that the Razor Cat 38 shares with the Razor Cat 52 is the central inside helm station and 360 degree views throughout the bridge deck from both the sitting and standing positions.

The Razor Cat 38 provides seamless indoor/outdoor living with the Vista Door, which enables the entire aft wall of the salon to raise into the cabin top when desired. This combined with the near 17 foot beam creates a very spacious “single level” living space that is larger, and more usable, than most 50′ monohull powerboats. The innovation does not stop there, the cockpit has a built in electric grill station on the port side (with a 12 volt icemaker beneath) and built in beverage fridge opposite on the starboard side. The aft cockpit seat spilts into two benches that can be relocated next to the deck steps when you want to access the transom. The transom folds down to make a large swimming platform or boarding area. The fold down transom has the added benefit that it extends beyond the end of the outboards when they are tilted out of the water which allows you to board from the transom when you are stern to a dock. You can also board the boat from either side with the convenient side cockpit access just forward of the outboards.

The salon has a linear galley to port that spans almost 8 1/2 feet and features a 24″ work station sink, Vitrifrigo DRW180 stainless steel fridge/freezer drawers, induction cooktop and oven, along with generous storage. Opposite the galley is the settee which has a high/low folding table (when lowered forms a coffee table or a double berth). The settee seat backs can flip forward or aft facing depending on how you wish to use the seats. The settees also have large slide out drawers beneath providing easy access to provisions. The central helm station commands the forward portion of the salon, with a large sliding hatch directly above the helm. There is also a removable co-pilot seat that locks in place on the starboard side of  the helm chair.

Each hull features a standard queen size berth with an opening hatch at the head of the berth. The large hull window features an opening port, providing ventilation and light that will be appreciated those aboard. The cabins also have a generous amount of storage with slide out drawers at the foot of the berth, inboard hanging locker, and outboard storage shelves. Moving aft past the steps from the hull to the salon you come to the head compartment and separate shower stall. Both the head compartment and shower stall have opening ports to add to the ventilation.

Forward of the salon is the systems room which is accessed by a large deck hatch that opens on gas struts. This is where the Lithium Ion batteries, inverter/chargers, and air conditioning units are located. This allows all the systems to be easily accessed and serviced while keeping them separate from the rest of the living area. Forward of the systems room is the comfortable forward cockpit which has storage beneath the cockpit seats. There is also large storage lockers in each bow which can be accessed by deck hatches and feature watertight bulkheads for added safety.

With the Razor Cat 38 you enjoy the journey as well as the destination!

Razor Cat 52 – Performance Cruising Sailing Catamaran

The focus of this design is elegant performance. An offshore capable multihull which is easily controlled and operated by one person from the safety and comfort of a central inside helm station, featuring 360 degree views throughout the bridge deck. All lines (with the exception of the genoa/spinnaker sheets) lead to two electric reversible winches located either side of the helm. The genoa/ spinnaker sheets are handled by the two electric reversible winches in the cockpit (that can also be controlled remotely at the helm). Couples that have spent time cruising know how critical it is to be able to handle the boat easily while on watch without having to wake your partner, this is not possible on most catamaran designs.

A properly designed and constructed catamaran can be a very fast, but only if it remains light and easily driven. This design has relatively narrow hulls with dagger boards, along with simple powerful rig. The high bridge deck clearance minimizes pounding in a seaway and greatly adds to the comfortable motion aboard while sailing. All systems are designed to be easily accessed and maintained, a critical feature on any true cruising sailboat.

The bridge deck offers indoor/outdoor living at its finest, with excellent sight lines when sitting or standing, in the salon as well as on the aft deck. While the inside helm is the control center of the boat, the large U-shaped galley is the heart of the boat and is located on the bridge deck across from the dinette with easy access to the aft deck. The galley features a bar, under counter fridge/freezer drawers, a large sink, a proper stove with oven, along with substantial counter space and storage.

The accommodations in each hull are configured to provide a generous aft cabin with a queen berth that is easy to get into from the foot of the berth, along with ample storage. Moving forward is a modified queen midship berth (which folds up to reveal a work bench when needed). Next is a large forward head compartment with separate shower stall and large hanging locker. On the occasion you have additional guests the dinette also converts to a spacious double berth.

The market has seen an ever increasing demand for catamarans, particularly among sailors who have previously owned cruising monohulls. These buyers are looking for a catamaran that is well built offering: speed, comfort, and safety that is easy to handle while remaining a joy to sail. They also want a design that allows them to enjoy indoor/outdoor living (while underway and at anchor) in a way that is not possible on a traditional monohull. However, most catamarans on the market are designed and built for the charter market, which focuses on maximizing the number of berths and interior accommodations without concern of the adverse effects it has on sailing performance. The Razor Cat focuses on what experienced sailors are looking for in a performance cruising catamaran.

RAZOR CAT - PERFORMANCE CRUISING CATAMARANS

Origins of the Razor Cat

The development of the Razor Cat is the result of my personal experiences cruising with my wife  aboard a performance catamaran, as well as my nearly 20 years selling new and used yachts. During that time I have been listening to what my clients have been searching for in a cruising catamaran, and the Razor Cat is the culmination of those experiences.

I am excited to be working with such a talented team to bring the Razor Cat to life:

Schionning Designs has been designing performance multihulls for over 25 years. Credited with over 400 boats on the water and cruising the world and zero failures on record, speaks to the success of their designs.

Pacific Seacraft has earned a reputation as a highly skilled builder of ocean going yachts, which they build with pride in Washington, NC USA. Their passion for boat building will be evident from your initial contact, throughout the entire build process, and after you take delivery of your new Razor Cat.

I am confident that the Razor Cat’s combination of innovative design, remarkable performance, and exceptional build quality, will bring joy to her owners and all aboard.

Elevate your time on the water.

Pacific Seacraft -Builder of the Razor Cats

Pacific Seacraft was conceived more than 40 years ago in Southern California and has over the years become the preeminent builder of heavy weather capable bluewater sailing vessels.  Astonishingly, each model boat in the line has circumnavigated, with the venerable PS-34, 37, 40, and 44’s continuing to do it with regularity.

In 2007 Pacific Seacraft came under new ownership and was relocated to North Carolina.  Many of the longtime key personnel and department heads made the move to North Carolina and continue there today.  This new era saw an even further evolution of the commitment to robust construction, real world ocean performance, and aesthetic beauty.

Pacific Seacraft has continued to build the Crealock line which remains a very relevant and viable cruising sailboat series.  With Steve Brodie at the helm, the company began to expand their talent base and pursue larger custom and semi-custom projects.  These included the SouthSea 61 designed by Robert Perry, which is available in a dual cockpit ketch and deck salon sloop configurations.  This vessel is a model of modern technical construction with very traditional finishes.  She is billed as a gentleman’s world cruiser whose beauty is only exceeded by her capability.

Working in conjunction with designer Ted Fontaine, Pacific Seacraft built the very unique, and very high tech, Surfari 50 performance sloop for entertainer Jimmy Buffett.  Surfari boasts a lightweight infused epoxy hull with carbon reinforcing structure, carbon chain plates, hydraulic and electric controls for everything from mainsheet to transom tailgate, a pushbutton hydraulic lifting keel in a carbon fiber trunk, etc. All of this was executed with an of exceptional level of craftsmanship throughout, including unmatched interior woodwork details.

On the other end of the spectrum (and indicative of the company’s range), Pacific Seacraft is currently performing a full restoration of the last remaining North Carolina built Skipjack, built in 1915, and a very important part of North Carolinas maritime heritage.

While remaining true to the companies roots by continuing to produce very strong, beautiful, uncompromising vessels; Pacific Seacraft is also embracing new technologies, materials, and processes to continue to evolve and improve performance at sea.  This includes epoxy sandwich infusion construction, employment of high strength aramid and carbon fiber laminates, titanium fabrications, advanced hydraulics, etc.

An uncompromising high quality standard is maintained by performing the work in-house and in the USA.  Additionally, all materials and components undergo a rigorous evaluation with American and European components being employed where possible. While having evolved into more of a semi-custom builder, Pacific Seacraft has maintained and developed a broad range of in-house artisans and capabilities ranging from high tech composite fabrications, to metal fabrication and machining, to exquisite upholstery.  The Pacific Seacraft team boasts over 200 years of combined boatbuilding experience.  This level of experience, range, and control not only ensures a very high standard of quality but also to allow advanced levels of customization and engagement for discerning clients.

Schionning G-Force 1400 Build

We spoke to Andrew Rogers, a professional boat builder from New South Wales, Australia, recently about the Schionning G-Force 1400 . Andrew has built 6 Schionning Cats, he’s an active member on the Schionning Owner’s and Builders Group on Facebook.

The G-Force 1400 is one of the best known of the Schionning Designs with many of them racing in Australian and Asian regattas. The design is available in a Cruise variant (G-Force 1400 C) which carries more payload and has more space for cruising toys. If you are interested in building your own catamaran, you might also want to read our Fusion 40 article with Shane and Carmen.

Interview with Andrew Rogers

Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your plans. Why did you decide to build a Schionning catamaran? I’m a Professional Boatbuilder who has built 6 Schionning cats and been involved with 3 more, also built 2 of his mast designs.

Which model did you last build? The last cat I built was a Schionning G-Force 14C which was set up for single handed sailing with electric drives

Were there any other brands you considered? An Outremer catamaran, but I decided it was too heavy and slow.

Did you consider using a yard for the build? Any you would recommend? Yes, Noosa marine or myself.

Did you consider buying a second hand yacht? No.

How long did she take to build? 2 1/2 years because of complications, I wasn’t there at the start and had to pick the projects up after someone that was not able to finish the project.

Can you share some of the challenges you have faced /expect to face on a project like this? Building the boat under staffed and short on good Boatbuilders in an isolated community.

How much space do you need for a build like this? We had a 18 metre x 16 metre insulated shed that could have been 3 metres wider to make life a little less cramped

In your opinion, what kind of experience is required to successfully pull off a project such as this? Attention to detail and a drive to succeed

Are you completing the build on your own or do you have a team? Completed with a team…it’s a long road, it’s about a 25,000 man hour job to complete successfully.

Can you give us an idea of the rough price differential between a self build and a comparable manufactured cat? That’s a hard question for me, I have never priced a manufactured boat directly against a totally self built one.. but a professionally built boat that is customised for the owner will start at about 20% dearer and go up in my experience

What is the best thing about the design? If the weight is kept out of these boats they sail remarkably well, we can sail over 20 knots in 15 knots true with code 3 and main reaching and in 5 to 8 knots we achieve 6 knots up wind, production boats don’t even come close without motoring

What are the main advantages of a self-build catamaran like this over a production cat? Customisation.

Is there a design feature you don´t like? What would you change if anything? We widen the cabin top to get better access into the holes and widen the decks to make it more user friendly.

What are the “Must Have” options for the boat over and above the essentials? eg electric winch, engine size, folding props, heating, watermaker, inverter, solar, gen set etc…. Keep things simple and light and don’t get caught up with all the bells and whistles as you will be way too heavy. A heavy boat means a slow boat. Also forget about electric winches, We use an electric winch handle made by Milwaukee Tools….This saves a lot of weight and expense and turns every winch into an electric winch

How did you configure the helm? Twin outboard homes so we can see the sails and ease of docking. Was configured with dynema to quadrants each side with a link bar between, which gives you nice light responsive steering.

How will you configure the living space – is there room for personalisation here? Keep it simple, light and airy, and don’t fill it full of lockers to store excess stuff for the sake of it that you will never use

What kind of average speed on passage are you aiming for? Over 10 kts

How is the Schionning Owner´s community? Good.

Anything else you would add to help people thinking of building a Schionning? Don’t get conned into going too big!

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Arson, hit-and-run at center of probe into Sergio Pino’s alleged threats against wife

I n August of last year, the estranged wife of home builder Sergio Pino reported to the police that a Home Depot flatbed truck driving in reverse rammed into the passenger side of her dark blue BMW as she was pulling into the driveway of her Pinecrest home in broad daylight.

Investigators do not believe the crash was an accident. The rented truck, which had no rear license plate, sped off after the hit-and-run, according to a video surveillance system at Tatiana Pino’s home.

“It was apparent that this was an intentional act and not an accidental collision,” according to an FBI affidavit for a criminal complaint charging Bayron Bennett, a part-time employee of Sergio Pino, in March of this year. Court records show Bennett told investigators he was asked to recruit individuals to commit crimes against Tatiana Pino, though the documents do not state if Bennett gave a name.

FBI agents are investigating whether Sergio Pino hired Bennett to recruit a crew of men to threaten his wife’s life in the wake of her filing for divorce from him in April 2022, people familiar with the FBI probe told the Miami Herald. Although the FBI affidavit doesn’t identify Sergio Pino or his wife Tatiana by name, Bennett is described as “hired help” who put together food and beverage services for the home builder for excursions on his yacht.

Bennett and three other Miami-Dade men, Michael Dulfo, Edner Etienne and Jerren Howard, have been charged with stalking Pino’s wife in connection with the hit-and-run at her home. Bennett, Dulfo and Howard are also charged with a racketeering-related offense and arson targeting three vehicles belonging to Tatiana Pino’s sister.

The four defendants are facing trial in Miami federal court in late August. Their defense attorneys either did not respond to Herald inquiries or declined to comment.

Sergio Pino’s defense attorney, Sam Rabin, said they’re aware of the prosecutions of the four men and the ongoing investigation by the FBI, which raided the builder’s waterfront home and business in Coral Gables on Monday night.

According to the FBI affidavit, Edner was the driver of the rented Home Depot flatbed truck that struck Tatiana Pino’s BMW on Aug. 30, 2023, and Dulfo followed her car to the Pinecrest home in a dark-colored Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck that same day. The pair also coordinated the rental of the flatbed truck at the Home Depot in Coconut Grove.

The FBI affidavit also focuses on two arson incidents on July 2, 2022, and Aug. 12, 2023, implicating Bennett, Dulfo and Howard. But the target of the arson attacks was not Sergio Pino’s wife Tatiana; it was the wife’s sister, the affidavit says.

The middle-of-night attacks destroyed three cars – a 2019 Dodge Ram, a 2019 Dodge Tahoe and a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado – belonging to Tatiana’s sister and her husband, who live in Miami-Dade County.

Home security cameras captured two of the couple’s trucks being set on fire by a suspect wearing a hooded sweatshirt and shorts.

In March of this year, FBI agents approached Bennett for questioning before his arrest.

“Bennett proceeded to tell law enforcement that he was asked to seek out individuals to commit arsons and a hit-and-run against VICTIM 1,” the affidavit says. [The Herald has learned that VICTIM 1 is Sergio Pino’s wife Tatiana.]

“Bennett identified Dulfo as the person he solicited to commit the arsons and hit-and-run,” adding that he had known Dulfo for a long time.

Dulfo’s defense attorney, Paul Donnelly, declined to comment about the allegations on Friday.

Luxury yacht finds purpose and passion in scientific research.

Humpback Whales, Megaptera novaeangliae, provided the reason for a recent expedition to the Silver ... [+] Bank area of the Dominican Republic Marine Sanctuary. Made possible by a Yachts For Science match with Bering Yachts, with assistance from the government of the Dominican Republic, Blue Marine Foundation, Mission Blue, BOAT International, and additional nonprofits, the five day trip collected information valuable to the protection of humpback whale populations on board a private Bering yacht.

Imagine: One boat. Five days. Thirteen people. Thousands of humpback whales.

Nothing compares. Just ask Alexei Mikhailov, Founder and CEO of luxury superyacht builder Bering Yachts , who recently teamed up with Mission Blue through Yachts For Science , two nonprofits, for five days of research on humpback whales in the Silver Bank calving zone.

The Bering 92 Papillon as it prepared to carry the team to the research area of the Dominican ... [+] Republic's Silver Bank Marine Sanctuary to photo ID individual whales and collect eDNA as it was shed by passing cetaceans.

Anchoring eighty miles off the northeast shore of the Dominican Republic, the team quickly got to work as they were surrounded by humpback whales coming to Silver Bank to mate and birth calves. Learning, discovering, sharing academic as well as cultural knowledge, there was great communication among the scientists and crew.

Mikhailov described the profuse conversation and exchange of information while on board for the expedition, noting that the thirteen people represented nine different nationalities with a wealth of knowledge from previous work.

A Newfound Passion For A Sturdy Yacht

"I got first hand experience of how to be on board a yacht in collaboration with the expedition," Mikhailov said, emphasizing that "The amount of information, the density of information, the value of this information, was incredible." He added that not a moment was wasted. People eagerly shared their expertise with one another about various expeditions and research findings, along with details relating to culture and family. All that while surrounded by thousands of whales in this protected calving area was "Marvelous," Mikhailov exclaimed.

Not your everyday superyacht experience, there is increasing interest in the use of superyachts as vehicles for research. Organizations like Yachts For Science specialize in matching marine research projects to superyachts, creating expeditions that explore everything from coral reefs and marine flora to whales and microalgae.

It takes a village. The long list of those who worked to make the expedition possible includes the ... [+] Government of the Dominican Republic, Mission Blue, Blue Marine Foundation, Blue Nature Alliance, Wyss Foundation, and Caribbean Cetacean Society. Bering Yachts connected through the Yachts for Science initiative, made possible by the Ocean Family Foundation, BOAT International, Nekton, EYOS, and others.

Trip From Freeport to Silver Bank A Rough One

According to Mikhailov, the first four days were a little rough as the boat left from Freeport in the Bahamas en route to the Dominican Republic, experiencing rough weather with 25 knot winds. Many on board agreed that most research boats might not be very comfortable under those conditions. Papillon , the Bering 92 the group was on, was built for just such conditions. With its steel hull and two stabilizers, Papillon made walking, cooking, sleeping, even reading, comfortable with no issues.

The Silver Bank area of the Dominican Republic Marine Sanctuary is visited by as many as 3,000 ... [+] whales each year. By contrast, the privilege of visiting the whales in the sanctuary is extended to just 500 people annually. Alexei Mikhailov, Founder and CEO of Bering Yachts is bullish on getting Bering yacht owners engaged to experience what it's like to be a part of unique scientific expeditions, offering the use of their superyachts as a research base.

DR 30-30 Pledge For Ocean Protection

The government of the Dominican Republic has committed to protect 30 percent of its ocean areas within the Exclusive Economic Zone by 2030. The protected area would include coral reefs, deep-sea corals, seamounts, whale aggregations, and a section of the deepest zone of the Atlantic Ocean, the Puerto Rico Trench. This expedition set out to photo ID individual whales and collect eDNA samples to determine which species have visited the area.

Mikhailov is ready to continue to partner with such expeditions in the future, hoping that his participation will encourage others, triggering a robust Caribbean effort. Bering has compiled footage for a video recording highlights of the expedition in anticipation of completing many more in additional locations from the Mediterranean to the Antarctic.

About The Boat

The Bering 92 Papillon measures 29.08 meters with a 6.74 meter beam and a 1.85 meter draft. She carries a 3.6 meter tender, ten guests, and four crew across three decks. Equipped with two Cummins QSM engines and 1220 hp, she has a range of 3500 nautical miles at cruise speed with a maximum speed of 13 knots. Five solar panels, a saloon, a formal dining and entertainment area, an aft al fresco cockpit, swim platform, wet bar with grill, jetski, and spacious crew area, Papillon is engineered and outfitted for a combination of safety and comfort.

the Schionning Designs Team

We are a design, kit and material supply company that has been serving the marine industry with innovative products for over 25 years., the schionning story.

Meet the Team

Robert quinn.

I got to know Jeff and Lorraine while living in Sydney Australia. I joined the Schionning Designs team in 2016 when I moved to Cape Town South Africa. The focus of this new office was to strengthen support and sales in Europe and USA. Being in South Africa allows Michael and I to work closely together. This close collaboration has bolstered our design development and output. Lorraine handed me the general management role in 2018.

I studied mechanical engineering in Illinois USA with a particular focus on design and simulation. I came to Schionning Designs with the experience of being at one of the world’s largest production multihull yards and two decades in the marine industry. I have also earned an international design award in marine seating. Over the years Jeff and I have partnered very closely on designs, engineering and company growth. It has been invaluable and a pleasure to be under the wing of an iconic designer. This boutique and bespoke niche of the multihull world is a rewarding space to be in. 

Tarryn Schionning

Michael van schalkwyk.

I joined the Schionning Marine team in 2007 and am based in South Africa assisting in 3D CAD modeling, and the creation of plans and renders for advertising, visual demonstration and display. I studied and trained in the field of electrical engineering and worked as a technician in the commercial 2-way radio business for 9 years. I’ve always been involved in computer programming and design in some way and have also been a keen Photoshop user for about 10 years, having done web design and graphic design at various stages. In 2008 my wife (Leze) and I built a VT330 at our home and gained valuable insight into the build process and design application.
