The Gunboat 66 represents the definitive evolution of the high-performance cruising catamaran concept pioneered by Peter Johnstone. Designed by the acclaimed multihull architects Morrelli & Melvin, the 66 was conceived as a larger, more refined successor to the original Gunboat 62. Built primarily in South Africa by Harvey Yachts and Jaz Marine between 2004 and 2010, the 66 utilized vacuum-bagged, epoxy-impregnated carbon fiber with a Nomex and Corecell core to achieve a displacement that is remarkably light for its size—typically around 38,000 lbs. This model solidified the "forward cockpit" layout as a brand signature, placing the helmsman and sail controls directly at the base of the mast for unmatched visibility and operational efficiency. The 66 serves as the bridge between the early experimental years of the brand and the highly industrialized French production era under Grand Large Yachting, offering a level of tactile, raw performance that many purists still consider the zenith of the Gunboat history.
