About
“Najuma” St Francis 50ES Owners Versions is the most recent and largest model in the range of catamarans built by St Francis Marine.
In every respect she continues the pedigree -- fine styling, seaworthy lines and versatility of choice in terms of interior layout. These features developed through the St Francis 44 and 48 are now expressed in a high degree of refinement in the St Francis 50. For instance, with the greater loading capacity, it is possible to support better on-board systems such as air conditioning, improved refrigeration, state of the art navigation and communications systems driven by a more powerful genset. The designer, Angelo Lavranos, has taken the opportunity to improve on the renowned performance and ease of handling enjoyed by owners of the St Francis 48. The new design offers improved speed, reduced transom immersion and disturbance, better overall motion characteristics, better looks, and bigger platform space. The additional buoyancy in the sterns also allows for a bigger tender to be lifted and stored with the davit system. “Najuma” St Francis 50 is a sophisticated yacht with all the modern conveniences of a home, yet she is a passage maker at heart, capable of crossing oceans at an average of 200 plus nautical miles per day.
“Najuma” main engines are Yanmar 57 hp diesels driving via Yanmar legs. Still under warranty the engines have been serviced precisely on schedule with relevant records. The propellers are Brunton autoprops. Both engine rooms are equipped with dual cooling water traps and fire systems. The present run time is 800 hours total.
A full inspection of both engine rooms finds them to be absolutely immaculate.
