A BOAT built by a Millbrook company has been chosen as one of the 20 favourites by an industry magazine.

Multihulls World has chosen the Multimarines Composites Ltd Dazcat 1195 as one of their 20 favourite blue water cruising catamarans, describing it as "wonderful," in the latest issue.

The report says: "its light weight and powerful rig, takes off in the slightest gust, and continues accelerating. Thanks to its daggerboards, it points incredibly well; to windward, it leaves all monohulls of the same size in its wake. Being at the controls of this machine is a delight, especially as its performance in a good breeze and a rough sea is excellent, thanks to a very successful hull design as well as particularly careful weight centreing."
