An off shore passage to Fiji

Schionning Catamaran Offshore Delivery – Fiji

This Schionning catamaran was delivered on an offshore passage to Fiji, relocating the vessel into the South Pacific cruising grounds.

Schionning designs are known for their performance-oriented multihull characteristics, with light displacement and efficient sailing making them particularly capable offshore passage makers. Delivery planning on a performance catamaran requires close attention to sail selection, boat speed, loading and the forecast conditions.

The passage to Fiji involved extended periods offshore, making fuel, water, provisioning and essential spares important considerations before departure. On a yacht designed to make good progress under sail, passage management is focused on maintaining efficient speeds while avoiding unnecessary loads on the rig and structure.

Arrival into Fiji marks an important transition from open-ocean passage making to island cruising. Fiji provides extensive cruising opportunities for performance catamarans, with the vessel able to continue exploring the islands following completion of the delivery.
