Yes, there is an option for 110 hp.

Privilege does in fact offer a furling main as an option. We've never strongly promoted it because management of our mainsail/Park Avenue boom has proven to be so efficient.

These cats are the epitome of a liveaboard catamaran! I love your boats! COME ON LOTTERY!!😫

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica Thanks for the reply. I was wondering why we had never seen one, or why Rob had never talked about them given his previous role.

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica ... Question -- Do you still have the 585 molds? Would they be available for sale should someone want them?

You can find pricing and equipment list on our website at privilegecatamaransamerica.com/privilege-signature-650-price/

Острые углы, Айкеа, не знаю сколько это стоит, но вы правы сударь. Рекомендую взглянуть на НН88, made in China, лодка называется Crazy Love. Либо лодка соседа, НН50 Synergy V.

The old models with the incredible wood interiors were sheer opulence. Love that look but it's no longer in fashion. If you want that type of interior maybe it can be done customly.

Hi Coleen, if you've watched any of our production videos you'll see that we don't glue and screw bulkheads, they are fully glassed. This is also true for the deck and hull joint - they are glassed in and become a 'holistic' structure. It would be virtually impossible to take the deck off a Privilege in any wind conditions,

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica ..I thought so but wanted to check after watching this weeks Parlay Revival video. Their Lagoon actually had the deck peel back, at least three feet, only to discover it was glued (very poorly glued) and a few rusty screws . Such a sad builder I must say. Really sad actually. They clearly don't care.

Great question and your paranoia is born out. The very thing that differentiates one yacht builder from another is rarely the thing people take any notice of at a boat show. The FRP layup methodology is critical to a well built vessel and is much more complicated than how many layers of fabric are used. We have included discussions on this subject in some of our earlier videos. Again great question.

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica ...must say that the bulkheads look so nice compared to Lagoon's. Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but in my experience things that look good tend to be good. We are all taught not to think that way but rarely are neat, good looking construction methods actually bad construction methods. It is possible but I have yet to find such an example. When I saw how Lagoon put their boats together, with all that ugly adhesive gunk and very little fiberglass tabbing, I knew that it was a bad job. Your Catamaran construction looks amazing. Still not sure how many layers are on it but I am confident that there are enough.

The freeboard on the 580 makes such an event unlikely, however the scuppers are sized to move water overboard if necessary.

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica oh ok thanks,

Privilege is made by Privilege!

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica ,,so what happened and what went so wrong? It is like something made by Lagoon or Leaopard. I thought that this was a higher end company in the past. Did it go bancrupt and start over or something? When did that happen?

@@Coleen_West The Privilege boatyard has never ceased operation. Please note, a 50-foot Leopard is built in 45 days, a Privilege 510 is built in over 50 weeks - there is no similarity in the quality of a production catamaran than that of a Privilege.

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica ...that is great to hear. They were so so nice. I guess there is a perception that this modern contemporary look is less "quality" than before. But I watched your build series and it looked sound indeed. There is just something about the interior look that is off a bit and I can't put my finger on what it is exactly - although I do accept your statement that they are of top quality - maybe quality of materials or finishings could have been more upscale since you are demostrating it... (I hate to say that as I sound negative and I don't mean to be). Are there any videos of a build of a 585 that you could post? Would love to see how that was put together and how the bulkheads were tabbed in etc.

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmerica what they mean is, it doesn't look like something a 60-year-old NYC hedge fund manager, or a Russian oligarch would buy so therefor it's aesthetics does not seem of quality to them.

Hi Guenther, The 640 (now 650) is the most impressive catamaran to see being built. The boat is a very comfortable cruising yacht and the boat you see in the video just completed a passage from the Caribbean to La Paz on the Sea of Cortez. The captain is extremely happy with how the boat sails (including its ability to point in heavy weather). Normally she is a 8-10 knot boat. Say hi to your cottage neighbour for me.

@@PrivilegeCatamaransAmericaThanks for response, I will, no names, but I'll give you a hint, He's German. Cheers

Can't think of a big cat meant to sail off-shore that has a full hardtop flybridge. Which maker(s) were you thinking of ? I love that Privilege are built different, especially the pontoon galley & central primary cabin/suite. Sleeping in a pontoon sucks, noise-wise. That saloon is appropriate for the number of cabins/beds, ie an owner & guests, not a party boat. I'd probably shrink or lose that bar altogether, though, so the lounging area could be bigger, I'll give you that for sure. Plenty of top-heavy multi-storey beach chalet on extra wide pontoons type cats that creak and rattle in the slightest of conditions on the water & sail like drunk whales because of all the high weight & extra beam. I've been on them as a charter guest. There are plenty of makers, catering to charter, who build their boats for short term guests who want constant A/C & protection from the sun.If you live somewhere that swampy, sure, get more chilled space & deal with the fuel cost. Bet you could spec that boat with a canvas bimini or sail shade on the flybridge, though, if it's just sun protection you need.

Sunreef .... @@Dogasaurus

@@waltervanderboor The Sunreef 80, for example, hardtop covers about half the flybridge, barely more than the P750's & raises the profile significantly. Great example of a charter boat not intended to sail for more than a few hours. Any sea conditions & that top would be more useful keeping you from being tossed overboard than protection from the elements. Privilege are legit bluewater live-aboards & rock solid because they put their weight into structure & keep it low. I think Sunreef are highly over-rated, anyway. Visited several at shows & they creak like crazy even at the dock. The Eco series is particularly absurd; classic example of a marketing ploy to guilty rich people using supposedly green tech which, in fact, is made by highly toxic processes , eg titanium, which just jacks up the price. Classic example of a trophy yacht/floating beach house

The sunreef eco has an extended bimini.

@@waltervanderboorwith a completely uncovered seating area in front,iirc. Different boats for different uses. Why do you want to change Privilege into a different kind of boat ? If you want to believe Sunreef is designed for the same use, no point to this at all. Anyway, I'd look at a Lagoon 77 for the luxury big cat. I think it has both a hardtop fly AND a hot tub....lol...
