Arrow 980
Category: Arrow Series
The Arrow Series includes the 1200 (12.00 metres), 1200 Sport (lower cabin), 1280-S (12.80 metres – slimmer hulls), 1360 (13.6 metres) and 1500 (14.95 metres) and is a multihull range designed with ease of construction in mind, meaning it is 100% flat panel construction with the style and performance you’ve been looking for. If you’re on a budget, whether building yourself or having a trusted composite boatbuilding specialist take care of the build for you, the Arrow designs ensure you’ll have the comfort, safety and resale value without the giant production catamaran pricetag.

Schionning Designs International presents the Arrow 1201 Catamaran,
The Arrow 1201 promises the same sailing experience and performance of the 1200 version yet with a revised interior and cockpit giving more options.
The Arrow 1201 has the same layout to the Arrow 1280s : 4 berths and 2 heads. Other layout options include twin owner’s hulls, or Stbd owner’s hull with Port guest hull, or 5x berths & 1x head/shower. See more details showing the 3 cabin version with stbd owner’s hull and port guest hull. The helm options are: Central Raised Helm (shown), bulkhead helm (twin or single), or dual tiller steering. The Stbd berth has been widened to be a full queen with great volume inside. This required a reshaping of the cockpit compared to the Arrow 1200. The Navigation table is now cleverly in the saloon allowing closet shelves below in port hull.

Arrow 1500
Arrow 1500
Introducing the Arrow 1500—the fourth and biggest design to join the new Arrow Series that have been causing a stir around the world.
The modern angular ‘stealth’ styling, 100% flat panel construction and the convenience of a fully pre-cut kit all combine to create a very attractive package for anyone looking to get on the water in comfort and style. With 5 Arrow 1200 designs currently under construction, along with 2 Arrow 1360 designs—the Arrow 1500 is definitely joining the ranks of one of the most popular cruising ranges on the market.
The Arrow 1500 shares the slim hull lines and generous rocker of her siblings, giving her the speed when light but good payload when crossing oceans fully-laden, capable of running down the trades at an effortless 250 miles a day, or more.

The Schionning Designs team is excited to introduce the modern and stylish Arrow 1360. The 1200 design concept originated by looking back at the classic Schionning designs, at a time when the primary considerations were defined by need and not greed. When building your own multihull, there are many factors that can push out the cost and budget of the project. Firstly, your choice of design is important as far as internal volume, a certain amount of accommodation is going to take a certain amount of materials. Secondly, the “must-have” choices - while it is nice to have all the bells and whistles this too often blows out the costings of any build. The 1360 is based on her smaller sister, but with more room and the weight-carrying capacity for a few extra toys!
The Arrow 1360’s best feature by far is the simple 100% flat-panel construction method. Yes, you read correctly. This design comes as a fully pre-cut kit direct to your door, with only a handful of tools required to get started. To help cut costs further, the Arrow 1360 kit can be ordered in a shell-only kit, or with furniture, depending on your budget. If your budget is a little more generous, you can order the furniture fully pre-cut, ready to tape together. However if you’re wanting to save every penny, why not order a shell-only kit, and piece together the interior as and when you can afford it? The aesthetic style of the Arrow is really determined by this build process, and without any time-consuming strip-planked curves she has a very modern, stealth styling that will certainly turn heads.

Arrow 1280-S
The Arrow 1280-S was designed to the Arrow 1200 and stretch her out, adding some different layout features but keeping the pedigree that made these designs so successful.
A newer skinnier sister has joined the Arrow family, the Arrow 1280-S. This design concept takes the Arrow's purist values one step further; shedding another skin to become a real serpent of the seas but keeping the longer waterline length. We have drawn from the same "back to the future" low cost concept, only this time focusing her performance with narrower hulls, shallower draft and a practical interior layout. The Arrow 1280-S will of course feature the 100% flat panel construction that has made the Arrow Series such a popular design.
The Arrow 1280-S was designed to the Arrow 1200 and stretch her out, adding some different layout features but keeping the pedigree that made these designs so successful. A large cockpit is a must with the door set to port, allowing a sizeable table and plenty of seating for entertaining guests. Dual steering wheels are standard being set on the outer hull edge giving excellent visibility of sails and sea conditions.
The saloon is a little different with a U-shaped galley and saloon, instead of the space being blended together as in the original 1200 design. The nav station sits amidships to port, with the single head and shower located aft. Dual double berths are located on the bridgedeck forward, with access from each hull. A single berth in the starboard bow and additional double berth aft give the 1280-S plenty of accommodation.

The Schionning Designs Team is excited to announce a new high performance racing design, the sleek and stealthy Arrow 1200 Sport.
This design concept takes the Arrow's purist values one step further; shedding another skin to become a real serpent of the seas. We have drawn from the same "back to the future" low cost concept, only this time focusing on need and speed. Like the original Arrow, we use the latest cutting edge technologies used in light kit panel building systems to make it quick and easy to build.
Jeff has designed the Arrow Sport to be all the room you need for a 4 man racing crew. Accommodation is nicely balanced with two separate aft cabins with big queen bunks and plenty of space with privacy. Two single cabins lay latrally, tucked under the forward deck incase you need extra hands for a fast ocean crossing. With two separate head and showers there's enough amenities to keep your crew well kempt.
The salloon is situated on the bridgedeck with sitting headroom. A nav station is set half-way down the port stairs and facing forwards, big enough for all your charts, certainly big enough for your tablet or laptop. To the starboard, we have a galley down for stable cooking of your stable meals. You'll be going fast, so you want the cook to be able to stand steady and down in the hulls is the best place for that.
