Full DetailsVessel DetailsDazcat Power 15 ‘Desiderata’The DP15 power catamaran is an exceptional, wheelchair accessible catamaran designed for comfortable cruising. Desiderata underwent major works in 2021/22, overseen by the original Project Manager. This included topsides, foredecks, and sidedecks being repainted; fresh Coppercoat antifouling; new and additional eco-teak exterior decking; and new Rolls Royce water jets.GRP construction is robust yet light, providing greater fuel efficiency and range. The Vector Joystick controls make helming a delight, whether at the saloon pilotage station or on the flybridge, ensuring easy maneuverability.Desiderata can be easily handled by a couple or a group of family or friends who enjoy being on the water. Her large tankage and efficient cruising allow for a larger cruising ground and greater choice of destinations, whether for weekend trips or long-distance cruising.The DP 15 features a horseshoe-shaped flybridge with a second helm position, seating area, wet-bar with fridge and BBQ, and a sun-lounging area. The external lift enables safe wheelchair access to the flybridge.Ergonomics were a priority during design and build. The flybridge helm seats can be easily retracted to accommodate a wheelchair behind the console when needed. The saloon helm seats raise and lower with push-button control for ease of transfer.The clean interior styling is bright and airy, with panoramic 180-degree forward views from the interior helm station. Sliding doors allow easy wheelchair access to the owner’s cabin, wet room, and aft cockpit, all designed for ease of use and movement.The wet room is adjacent to the aft swim deck, opposite the owner’s cabin and at the rear of the saloon for easy access from all areas. The spacious galley is designed to be sociable. Each hull has a double cabin and head with shower, accessible via steps.The jet drives and hull forms were developed for economy and comfort. The water jets minimize the risk of entanglements and allow access to shallower drafts compared to exposed drives. The wet deck deflects water traveling between the hulls, reducing slamming and cushioning the ride over waves.A small fold-up ramp provides quick and easy access to the pontoon. A long passarelle stored on the flybridge can be positioned with the crane for stern-to mooring and wheelchair access in various locations. This extends to the pontoon, allowing passengers to wheel onto the aft swim platform. The aft platform lifts to deck level and extends fully into the water to maximize accessibility.A systems panel by the saloon helm station provides a clear overview of all onboard systems and their status.HullVacuum bagged composite E-glass multi-axial and unidirectional laminates with PVC foam core.
