Brand: Knysna 480

The Knyna 480 is a nicely performing blue water tough catamaran for voyaging that offered nice cabinets and finish and stout build. She will easily pull speeds in the low teens and sail 20% faster than most production cats. Updates from the 440 include an elevated bridgedeck, hard-top bimini cleanly integrated into a streamlined coach-house, protected bulkhead helm station that offers excellent visibility of sail plan and from which helmsman has access to all lines and winches, wide open deck space and aft walkways ensure safe boat handling and movement, spacious cockpit area for entertaining and modern interior styling. The quality of build is evident throughout; the attention to detail and the premium options are custom yacht grade.
Same hull as the Knysna 500 in every respect but her sterns – her interior volume is identical.
