The searches provided a good amount of information for the HH 50, especially regarding its purpose, performance, and interior. I also found details about the HH 50-OC and HH50-SC versions, which are relevant to variations. Owner reviews are also available.
I can now proceed with generating the article following the specified structure. I will make sure to interpret the data, use citations, and avoid listing raw data. I will also make sure to not use performance ratios as this is a large catamaran.
