The Gunboat 55 represents a pivotal and high-intensity chapter in the evolution of the performance cruising catamaran. Designed by the esteemed Nigel Irens and launched during Gunboat’s transition to its manufacturing facility in Wanchese, North Carolina, the 55 was envisioned as the ultimate owner-operator's multihull. It was built to bridge the gap between the adventurous Gunboat 48 and the more complex, professional-crew-oriented Gunboat 60 and 66 models. Utilizing an all-carbon fiber and epoxy construction with an aerospace-grade honeycomb core, the Gunboat 55 was engineered for a power-to-weight ratio that remains rare in the cruising world. This model marked a departure from earlier Morrelli & Melvin designs, adopting Irens' signature hull shapes and centerboard configurations to enhance sea-kindliness and reduce drag at high speeds.
