Schionning Designs G-Force 1541 Catamaran Design - We (Sabrina and Matthijs) have been in possession of a GForce 1541 for 3 weeks now. About 1 year ago we started with a meeting with Robert Quinn from Schionning. We wanted a faster catamaran that sails well and preferably built it ourselves. We love projects and this way we could already start with our dream, discovering the world together from the water. The appearance of the GForce and its performance immediately appealed to us, but we wanted something more cruising and less racing. Fortunately, Robert and his team had done something similar with the GForce 1400. And he was looking for an excuse to do the same with the GForce 1500, and there was LuSo! Our GF 1541, after a number of meetings and some ideas back and forth, we arrived at the final drawings. The two of us can work on the boat an average of 2 days a week, and occasionally friends come to help. As a result, we expect it to take 8 years to build the boat. By then we can probably stop working or at least start living at LuSo and take small steps into the world. We keep track of our construction in such detail on Instagram. Hopefully we'll see you there!! Sinds 3 weken zijn wij (Sabrina en Matthijs) in het bezit van een GForce 1541. Ongeveer 1 jaar geleden zijn we begonnen met een meeting met Robert Quinn van Schionning. We wilde graag een goed varende snellere catamaran en die het liefst zelf bouwen. We houden van projecten en op deze manier konden we nu al beginnen met onze droom, samen de wereld ontdekken vanaf het water. Het uiterlijk van de GForce en haar performance sprak ons gelijk aan, echter wilde we graag iets meer cruise en iets minder race. Gelukkig hadden Robert en zijn team iets vergelijkbaars gedaan met de GForce 1400. En hij zocht een excuses om dit ook te doen met de GForce 1500, en daar was LuSo! Onze GF 1541, na een aantal meetings en wat ideeën over en weer zijn we tot de uiteindelijke tekeningen gekomen. Wij kunnen gemiddeld 2 dagen in de week werken aan de boot met z’n tweeën, en af en toe komen vrienden mee helpen. Hierdoor verwachten wij er 8 jaar over te doen om de boot te bouwen. Tegen die tijd kunnen we waarschijnlijk ook stoppen met werken of in ieder geval op LuSo gaan wonen en met kleine stapjes de wereld in gaan. Wij houden onze bouw zo gedetailleerd mogelijk bij op Instagram. Hopelijk zien we jullie daar!!

Follow Sabrina and Matthijs’ build journey of their dream catamaran, the Schionning Designs G-Force 1541. “When our catamaran LuSo is ready, we will first discover the waters of Europe and then expand our sailing area to the world’s seas.”

Solitaire 1520

The Schionning Designs Solitaire 1520 Multihull Catamaran offers similar internal comfort and space to the production boat competition, but she is far lighter, stiffer and stronger with better waterline beam values and higher power to weight ratio.

This is a serious blue water cruiser capable of taking you around the world with high mileage daily runs in comfort and safety with minimal slamming.

Growler 710 VT | @TomBuildsCats

@TomBuildsCats is underway building his fantastastic Schionning Designs Growler 710 VT Power Catamaran. This page is to assist those interested in following his progress.

Prowler 1500

The Prowler 1500 is a semi-displacement power catamaran design, following a more traditional style in comparison to some of the more modern power designs such as the Growler Series. The bows have been kept quite square and sharp, and the cabin features large wrap around windows and angular styling. The foredeck runs forward to the front of the bridgedeck providing a wide spacious area for sunbathing, enjoying a glass of champagne or giving storage space for dinghy or other cruising toys.

Radical Bay 1060

The Radical Bay 1060 is the bigger sister to the 8000, and provides that little step up in accomodation, space and performance. The 1060 would make a fantastic small cruiser and couple safely carry you and your crew to any tropical destinations. Again a standard rig is an option, however the composite bi-plane carbon masts are still the recommended configuration.
