Prowler 1360

Prowler 1360

The Prowler 1360 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.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

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.

The layout is open plan and offers a surprising amount of interior space and accommodation due to the Prowler’s wide hulls—significantly wider than that of her Alaskan sisters. This extra width does allow a little more freedom when configuring the layout and combats the ‘stuffy' enclosed feeling that being down in the hull can bring.

The Prowler 1360 is a large displacement hulled cruiser that will sleep 4-6 family or friends comfortably.

Prowler 1040 GTR

Prowler 1040 GTR

The Prowler 1040 GTR looks quite like the Growler VTR, both sharing the new ‘Schionning’ sleek, stealth styling above water but the underwater shape is quite different. The Prowler GTR has a standard semi-displacement hull shape.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

This is a very efficient hull that travels through the water so doesn’t plane or achieve the very high speeds of the Growler but she is however more economical for longer distance travel and she’ll cruise comfortably and efficiently from 0-22kts.

The hull is rounded so construction uses strip planking for the hull bottoms but the rest of the boat is supplied in a flat panel pre-cut kit for easy building by anyone.

Growler 950 VT

Growler 950 VT

The ‘Growler 950 VT’ Power Cat offers unparalleled living space. Open living areas and a sense of light flow through the interior design of this boat. The secret behind this is her unusual underwater hull shape. We have managed to achieve a blend of characteristics that has not, until now, been possible to achieve in a power cat.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

This amazing boat has the ability to plane. The new underwater shape as well as opening the space in the hulls allows the boat to have enough surface area to propel her onto the plane, offering high speeds and great fuel efficiency.

She is available in a fully pre-cut DuFlex kit or built to any stage by one of our associated professional boat builders.

The Growler 950 VT is a mid-sized planing hulled cruiser that will sleep 4-8 family or friends comfortably.

A small fridge, small gas cook-top and port-a-potty can also be installed if desired. This little weekender is perfect for inland lakes or skipping out to the islands at a top speed or 45 knots (depending on engine choice). Exceptional ocean going ability is a key feature. The Cuddy can also be trailered and stored in the driveway during the week. Built from balsa-core Duflex panels, this tough little cat is perfect for those weekend trips with friends and family or a romantic retreat with a partner.

Tracer 1500TRi

Tracer 1500TRi

Trimaran

Introducing the new 1500TRi, the first member of the new Tracer Series of performance cruising trimarans from Schionning Designs. Designed to blend the performance of a trimaran with liveable interior accommodation and create a stable, aesthetically-pleasing cruising platform that can take you anywhere in the world.

The 1500TRi exterior is a little different to many of the standard trimaran designs we've become accustomed to.
Large spacious cockpit areas are located on either side of the cabin, with the helm stations positioned wide on the aft beam giving excellent visibility forward, as well as clear sight of sails and telltales. Lines run aft to the helms with winches and sail controls mounted close by for ease of operation.
The large cockpit areas will be fantastic for swimming, sunbathing, storing dinghies & equipment plus just a great spot while underway.

A 19 metre mast can be rotating carbon or a standard alloy option, but with the performance aspect of this design carbon is recommended. She has fixed rudders on the floats, however this will not be an issue and she will still be able to beach easily. Kick-up rudders are an option if desired and depending on your intended use for the boat. A single 30-40HP diesel is the recommended motor option.

G-Force 2350

G-Force 2350

The G-Force 2350 is currently the biggest Schionning design to date (not including concept designs) and one example is operating as a charter vessel in the Caribbean.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

Measuring in at a staggering 23.5 metres, and 10 metres wide - the parameters have really given the design team a blank canvas with which to create the flagship of our company.

This design is perfect for charter work, and one example of this design is currently working in Bermuda however it is customised and not a performance vessel.

The G-Force 2350 began as an exclusive custom design however is now available for amateur and professional construction. Any of our recommended Schionning builders on the production page could deliver a beautiful example of this design.

G-Force 2000

G-Force 2000

The G-Force Series has continued to grow from the very first G-Force 1400 over ten years ago.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

Now another bigger sister has joined the ranks - commissioned by an experienced G-Force owner Tony Longhurst, the 2000 is a specialised version that has some small changes and added waterline length. With his beautiful G-Force 1800 'KATO' having turned many heads, it is now time for the G-Force 2000!

With a 19.50 metre waterline length, the G-Force 2000 is the largest G-Force design to be launched. Noosa Marine completed the build of the first boat, using very distinctive carbon fibre panels with an end-grain balsa core from ATL Composites. Extreme measures have been taken to reduce weight and produce one of the lightest and fasest cruising multihulls on the water. The dog bowl and toilet are even carbon fibre! The boat is equipped with North Sails 3Di technology, Southern Spars rig and furling boom, along with Oceanvolt electric propulsion.

If you'd like kit pricing or cost estimates, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your interest in Schionning Designs!

G-Force 1800 SSS

G-Force 1800 SSS

The G-Force 1800 SSS is a little meaner and leaner than the ‘C’ (Cruise) design, with the waterline beam ratio at 15:1, the freeboard slightly lower, the forward double bunks on the bridgdeck have been removed, moving the trampolines back 1.5m and then using a ‘soft’ bottom shoe with all stealth type styling above.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

The displacement is slightly lighter at 11 tonnes compared with 12.5 tonnes, this increases her power to weight ratio positively.

'ZERO' is the first SSS design on the water and was built by Cure Composites using Cure Fusion panels, made in-house. The finish as you can see is beautiful, with a stark black and white interior colour scheme and stainless furnishings.

The Study Plans are currently being prepared and will be available soon for download.

The G-Force 1800 SSS is a lightweight performance cruiser with serious style and luxury.

G-Force 1800 C

G-Force 1800 Cruise

The G-Force 1800C is the ultimate in high performance cruising catamarans. This design has been the basis for a number of vessels and new designs, including the Legend 60, the 1800SSS and the 2000 Speciale.

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFO

Staying true to her heritage she is extremely quick while not compromising too much of the luxury that one expects from a design of this size. Inside we have a number of different layout options, however the standard layout features two king sized cabins forward, a split up/down galley and spacious saloon that opens onto a large cockpit.

Twin helms have been the favorite choice when it comes to the smaller G-Force designs however the 1800C leans more toward easier sailing and even single-handing, utilizing a single helm station with all sail controls running back to one central location.

Powered systems are recommended if you're thinking of handling the boat short-handed (a couple for instance), these systems are invaluable for hoisting sails and controlling the entire boat with the push of a button (or touchpad).

The G-Force 1800C is a one-of-a-kind performance oriented cruising catamaran with a generous payload and plenty of room for all of the toys you'd expect.
