CHE is the largest sloop-rigged
catamaran and the second largest
sailing multihull in the world.
With her 114 feet of length and
42 feet of beam, she is a veritable
jewel of the seas!
CHE means freedom. Made to sail the
oceans in superior comfort and security,
she is the utmost example of seaworthiness
proven by her unique construction and
navigability features.

Expect the unexpected when you step aboard CHE.
This yacht is truly revolutionary and turns the
superyacht concept on its head. CHE is first and
foremost a sailing yacht destined for adventure and
distant voyages. It is a yacht designed to be sailed,
not merely look good in the harbour. CHE success-
fully manages to combine luxury with ability, offering
a superyacht of comfort and capability.

This yacht is all about balance, as she connects
wind with water and blurs the distinction between
exterior and interior, guests and crew. You may
wonder how these opposing forces have
created such an attractive and succesful yacht. The
clue lies in her taijitu motif – the intertwined yin yang
symbol representing the harmony of balanced
opposites. Again and again one finds a surprising
synergy between apparently conflicting elements.

6. The navigation station lies forward on the flybridge
and affords fantastic 360˚ degree views. This is
clearly an ideal position from which to manoeuvre
the vessel, and both engines, thrusters and prop
pitch can be controlled from here. CHE cruises
easily at 12 knots on just 65 percent engine capacity
and to conserve fuel she will make nine knots with
one engine.
The owner of CHE: "The 13-metre beam means
there is practically no heeling or rolling when
the yacht is at anchor. Even on choppy seas the
cruising is smooth and easy for those who are
unfamiliar with sailing. At the same time, the size of
CHE and her low draught make fast sailing possible,
reaching 13-14 knots and more with good winds."

The harmonious interior design
shows the inspiration of the yacht
owner’s wife Cha Cha and her
creative skills, enhanced by
Sunreef’s designers. All materials and
colours used on CHE are a
result of this cooperation. She did
not want the interior to compete
with the natural beauty of
locations where CHE will be sailing.
However, to give the boat a
touch of sensuality and holiday
ambience, she incorporated turquoise
colours in a few decorative
elements such as table tops and
cushions to complement the sunny
lagoons that CHE will explore.

CHE’s most noticeable feature is the blurring of
the distinction between crew and guest areas.
The result is overwhelmingly positive – cunningly
clever design means that guests still retain privacy
while the crew are not impeded in their work. The
exemplar of this is the wonderfully spacious saloon
which shares the main deck with a state of the art
galley. And this bold idea really works: a kitchen is
the heart of any home, and CHE’s galley brings the
centre of the yacht alive. Guests can enjoy the
hustle and bustle of the chef’s creativity,
and can freely wander in for a tempting taste - or
draw the blinds and relax, in the comfort and privacy
of their room.

Three of the four guest cabins are twin;
the bunks are generous and comfortable.
Featuring memory-foam bases, should
the yacht be moving, you will sink comfort-
ably into your bed, as opposed to bounce
around. The fourth guest cabin has a single
bunk athwartships plus a Pullman, making it
ideally suited for port. The suites are a good size
– the shower is separated with double glass
doors and the oval teak grill underfoot is a nod to
sailing traditions. The cubicle is large enough to
preserve elbows and heads but not so large that
you can't brace yourself in a seaway. As CHE will
rarely be tied up in dock, CHE has been designed
with ocean crossings and remote cruising in mind.
