The Priviledge 482 is an updated version of the 48 and at the time was one of the most luxurious catamarans in production. Mast height and sail area had been increased, backstays eliminated and all sail controls led back to the cockpit resulting in a boat that performs better and is easier to sail.

Privilege are famous for producing high quality cruising catamarans: the focus is on quality rather than quantity. One of the key design features over the years has been the large owner’s suite located into the forward nacelle. As well as creating more living space, this structure provides buoyancy in heavy seas and stiffness to the whole structure. These strong cats ae known for their stability and seaworthiness.

Aboard S/V SCOUT: A Family’s 1992 Privilege 482 Catamaran

The owners describe her as fundamentally a go-anywhere boat: thick fiberglass hulls, generous fuel and water tankage, and the stability that comes with a wide beam.…
