The standard pack includes a main sail of 70m2, a genoa of 68m2, batt cars and stack pack with lazy jacks for ease of raising, lowering and storage. The auxiliary engines situated in externally accessed sealed engine bays are capable of pushing her along at a comfortable trawling speed. Having two engines makes her very manoeuvrable which facilitates mooring particularly in a strong wind.

Although designed for comfortable cruising with the addition of generators, washer/drier, dishwasher, air conditioning, watermakers, generous tankage and battery storage etc, the Royal Cape Catamaran performs very well and economically.
