Gunboat G4: Demolding 1st Hull
The Next step in Cruiser cats is definitely the Gunboat G4, currently being built at Holland Composites owned by DNA builder PJ Dwarshuis.
The other day I went visit a Fusion 40 kit being assembled here in BA, it look good, not much space as a Lagoon but it can sail much efficiently. The G4 is the 3rd Generation of modern Cat cruisers focused in sailing even faster, a full carbon machine which as reference, the demolded half side hull is weighting 137kg as reported by Peter Johnstone.

If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
