Luscher Looping 56

  • Beam: 22
  • Draft: 4
  • Description: Looping catamarans are known for their seakeeping qualities and their excellent ergonomics. Patrick Luscher designed them to be simple, strong, light and fast while taking excellent care of a bluewater crew. Hulls are long and slender. Bridgedeck clearance is superb. Weight is intelligently centered. The living environment is practical, comfortable, and elegant. In fact, most Looping owners have graduated from production catamarans like Catanas to a custom Looping because of the excellent balance between performance and liveability. This catamaran will turn in very high daily averages and feel good doing it. She is brilliantly thought out, expertly constructed, and outfitted to sail the Pacific, the Caribbean, or around the world. She will be your turn-key home on the ocean. Even a solo sailor can handle her easily and experienced sailors will appreciate her toughness, lightness, and performance characteristics. If you are ready to go now, this is a catamaran you should not miss!
