Exploring the Marvellous CURE 55 Catamaran - A Comprehensive Review
Welcome back to Naval Gazing at Camp David!
This week, we're embarking on an exciting journey to the land down under to explore the stunning CURE 55 catamaran. Get ready for a thrilling episode where we'll dive deep into the specifications, pricing, layout, and unique features of this magnificent vessel. As always, we'll blend in a delightful pairing of wine and art, capturing the essence of the region that birthed this extraordinary yacht.
1. Specifications, Pricing, and Layout Comparison
We'll kick off our adventure by examining the CURE 55's specifications, pricing, and layout against three other similar new vessels. This comparative analysis will provide you with a clear understanding of where the CURE 55 stands in the competitive yacht market.
2. Full Tour: "What Would Sylvia Say?"
Next, we'll take you on an extensive tour of the CURE 55, contemplating what Sylvia, our imaginary yet discerning critic, would say about the yacht's design and functionality. From the sleek exterior to the luxurious interiors, we'll leave no stone unturned.
3. Naval Gaze: Innovations Making Life Easier
In this segment, we delve into a specific innovation or technology aboard the CURE 55 that promises to make life on board a breeze. This week, we're spotlighting the Jefa transmission steering system, which offers unparalleled precision and ease of use, revolutionizing the way we navigate the seas.
4. Used Market Analysis for 3-5-Year-Old Comparables
We understand that buying a brand-new yacht might not be everyone's cup of tea. Therefore, we'll explore the used market for 3-5-year-old comparables, giving you insights into potential savings and value retention of similar vessels.
5. The "Dave Score" and Final Comparison
Finally, we'll rate the CURE 55 with our unique "Dave Score," comparing it to all previously reviewed yachts. This comprehensive evaluation will help you understand the yacht's overall performance and value.
Waves, Wine, Art, and Ideas
As part of our tradition, we blend the technical review with a cultural experience, pairing the yacht with a regional wine and a piece of art. This week, we're savoring the Torbreck
Woodcutter's 2021 Shiraz, a wine that boasts a rich history and exquisite taste. Its European sense of tradition and minimal intervention approach create a wine that ages gracefully, much like the yachts we admire.
Art of the Region: Albert Namatjira
To further immerse ourselves in the culture, we feature a work by Albert Namatjira, an iconic artist known for his watercolours depicting the Australian landscape. His piece, "In the Ranges, Mount Hermannsburg," captures the serene beauty of the region, complementing our review of the CURE 55.

Along with Windelo, I would have compared the Cure 55 to a Schionning or Ocean Renegade catamaran. Cure was previously building Schionning G-Force 1500 and 1800's, so rather than build someone else's design, they created their own. I am eager to see if they really stack up to an HH or a Kinetic, but I expect for the weight and cost, it will be more like a Schionning (light on luxury).

@navalgazingatcampdavid 28 дней назад

What is it with most cat manufacturers and the lack of luxury touches? You don’t see that in monohulls. It’s the strangest thing. I get the weight, but HH already proves you can do light AND luxurious. Do people who buy monohulls REALLY have COMPLETELY different tastes than anyone who buys a cat? There was a brief period in the early 2000’s when some beautiful cats were built ( Catana 522, 582) but then they went all “RV”ish on us. Any insights?

@gregluce Месяц назад

Right on Dave, nice work as usual. These are massive boats. Great Circle had to go with at least three on passage, Holly and Stephan are doing the same on their O52 so far. The Windelo 50 intrigues me as a more manageable couples boat. While the basalt finer and eco ethos is impressive it is the front cockpit and owners stateroom that really make me think about it. What is the price of an electric motor compared to a diesel yanmar? It looks like Windelo is charging a lot for basalt fiber and recycled water bottles. I notice also you reported “high quality” polyester resin infused for the basalt composite. I wonder if that is cost savings of if basalt fiber form better in polyester than epoxy or vinyl ester? Anyway, thanks again, these puppies are too big for this couple. Okay too expensive too, even though I only add 20-30% ticking the options boxes on most new builds. Later!

@navalgazingatcampdavid 28 дней назад

Thanks so much Greg. I have been on the Windelo 54 and that front cockpit took me totally by surprise! You feel so in control and connected with the boat and the water. Your visibility is just outstanding! They are planning a 47, so there may be hope. Otherwise you are doing like me and crossing your fingers for a pre-loved Balance 442 or HH44 to come up at just the right time!

@constantinealexandrakis Месяц назад

Windelo, kinetic, soon the new HH 55... for someone who has the money it's a very tough category.

@navalgazingatcampdavid Месяц назад

Yup. Ohhhh how I wish I had such tough decisions! LOL!

@joelambing2430 Месяц назад

Looks like a nice catamaran. The stat that stood out to me is the light ship displacement. Have they finished a boat so this number can be verified? It seems a bit hard to believe and this drives the performance comparisons. It will be interesting to see if they can hit this. Thanks for the detailed video.

@navalgazingatcampdavid Месяц назад

My pleasure Joe. Hull #1 is well on its way to completion so we should know for sure soon.

@traceysmallwood7489 18 дней назад

Cure 55 is an amazing boat in my eyes better than HH that only use USD Cure use AUD

@navalgazingatcampdavid 15 дней назад

It is a lovely boat.

@BandidoDeOtin Месяц назад

Thanks for the review of this cool boat. As you are comparing the weight to the HH 52 are you aware that the empty weight of HH boats always includes weight of all ordered accessories, the anchor and full tanks? That might account for the 2000kg difference.

@navalgazingatcampdavid Месяц назад

Hi Bandido. Thanks for watching. Lightship displacement is certainly a rather loosely applied term in the industry ( lol). However, it could not include ordered accessories for the published figure since this changes from boat to boat. If HH included full fuel tanks in that figure it would also be detrimental to themselves as no one in the industry, that I am aware of, does that. I’ll double check, but I cannot imagine including full fuel and water in your published lightship number. It would not make marketing sense. Having sail all that, I take all lightship numbers with a grain of salt due to the broad “interpretations” of the term. In the end, my guess is that the CURE is still lighter if one were to hold a strictly controlled and standardized weigh-in. D

@TheSailingFamily 29 дней назад

@@navalgazingatcampdavid HH includes all standard items in it's lightship weight, so that includes sails, running rigging, anchor chain, anchor, batteries, mattresses, window blinds, Air Conditioning, etc. Fuel and water are not included, but certainly a good point to make: comparing Lightship is difficult and if a boat seems too light, it's probably because it does not include a lot of standard items for the base cost.

@jimbeglinger Месяц назад

There is a lot to love here, but I guess with the KSP rating of 110 that's why there isn't any comfortable seating at the 4 helm positions. They (Cure) want you on your toes and standing up (if you can) 😥

@navalgazingatcampdavid Месяц назад

Hey Jim...yes but I think Sylvia would be screaming at me to slow down. LOL!

@randalladdison537 Месяц назад

Love the shaft drive. But the steering system better be very robust. Looks like a lot there could go wrong. Seen too many failures on Seawind. I am scared of them. Are Windelo systems a shaft drive? If so both boats are winners for me.

@navalgazingatcampdavid Месяц назад

Yes, the Windelo is a shaft drive. Having said that, the modern sail drives are now just as strong and offer some real benefits. Don't get caught up in historical issues that no longer matter. Phil German at Balance has some good thoughts on this topic.

She is a pretty boat but it looks like the helms are fixed in their positions. I would not be happy to be at the helm on a stormy or very windy passage. The Cure 55 looks like she is a fast and fun boat to sail however, 90% of a sailor's life is spent at a dock, a mooring or at anchor. If you want to keep Sylvia happy, it is hard to beat the Privilege 580. The owner's cabin is in a class of it's own.

@navalgazingatcampdavid Месяц назад

Absolutely Noooo doubt that the Privilege 580 would be Sylvia's pick!

@leeway777 Месяц назад

Carbon fiber, basalt fiber-it doesn't matter what fiber; if hit by lightning, the boat will sink. You need an aluminum boat to be lightning-proof. Ask physicists if you don't believe me.
