The Antares 17 represents a departure from the grandscale bluewater catamarans typically associated with the modern Antares Yachts brand, serving instead as a vital entrypoint vessel within the Argentinian sailing market. While the brand’s global reputation is anchored by the Ted Clementsdesigned Antares 44, the Antares 17 is a product of Astillero Antares, a shipyard deeply embedded in the maritime culture of Buenos Aires. Designed as a versatile, ballasted monohull, the 17footer is engineered to provide a balanced introduction to coastal cruising and club racing. It shares the brand’s regional commitment to robust fiberglass construction, though its mission is geared toward ease of trailering and singlehanded operation rather than transoceanic passagemaking.
