The
first of a series Morrelli & Melvin 65' performance cruising
catamarans built by Westerly Marine in Santa Ana, California was
launched in March 2010.
"We're proud of
the Morrelli & Melvin 65' design. We built on the knowledge in
design, materials and systems information that we have gained from the
variety of projects that we have been working on to produce a
state-of-the-art catamaran," said Pete Melvin, Morrelli & Melvin
co-founder.
"The Morrelli
& Melvin boats built in collaboration with Westerly Marine showcase
the latest hull shapes, which are designed to improve performance,
reduce pitching and provide more comfort through a broad range of
sailing and cruising conditions."
M&M's
Project Manager, David McCollough, states, "The M&M 65 is our
lightest and most refined cruising catamaran in this size range to
date."
Morrelli &
Melvin and Westerly
are employing advanced construction methods to improve the structural
integrity of the composite yacht and reduce labor costs.
Identifiable
Morrelli & Melvin 65' features include pre-preg carbon structures,
wave-piercing hulls, protected aft cockpit helm stations and modern and
customized interior appointments.
