More great news from Stanton Multihulls for those of you that like long term cruising whilst maintaining<br />
sparkling daily averages under sail, in absolute comfort! The new FreeFlow <strong>46</strong> <strong>Open</strong> Ocean is being built. She<br />
has sweet sporting lines below the water and an aggressive stance above, and like all FreeFlow cats has<br />
revolutionised the amount of space and pace you can have in one catamaran.<br />

• Nine possible interior layouts to give you ideas;<br />

New for 2010<br />
FreeFlow 40 is now on the drawing board.<br />
She is being designed like her bigger sister the<br />
14m FreeFlow <strong>46</strong> to fit neatly into a standard<br />
sized marina berth in this case a 12m berth.<br />
Following her pedigree she also offers more<br />
boat for your buck than any 40 footer with the<br />
space and pace to rival many larger cats in a<br />
compact and affordable size, whilst retaining the<br />
signature queen size island owner’s berth and<br />
enormous living areas i.e. the saloon measures<br />
3.4m fore and aft by 5.6m athwart ships. The<br />
cockpit is similarly well endowed with 3.3m fore<br />
and aft allowing ample room for a double helm<br />
seat, sun lounge and cockpit table with seating<br />
for six to eight people.<br />
More design news<br />
The new FreeFlow 8.5 folding system allows<br />
the boat to be folded in the water or on the<br />
trailer, so it can be stored in a standard mono<br />
marina berth or dry space.<br />
