FLYER

46' Baltec Visiona Performance Cruising Catamaran

FLYER is a proven bluewater performance catamaran designed to combine offshore capability, speed, comfort, and exceptional living space. Built by Baltec using the original SP Systems composite construction method, she was engineered as a lightweight, stiff, and capable cruising platform in accordance with German Lloyd and CE standards.

Only a limited number of Visiona catamarans were built, and several have completed extensive world cruising and full circumnavigations. FLYER has an impressive offshore history of her own.

Launched in 2000 she crossed the North Sea on her way to the Azores and ended up crossing the Atlantic to home port in the U.S Virgin Isles. The owners who ordered the build sold the boat to a couple of Australians who cruised the boat through the Lesser Antilles down into Central America and back up again seasonally.

We purchased the boat in 2005 and took her back down the Caribbean chain a couple times, home porting her in the BVI's and storing her on the hard when we weren't with her. In 2007 we decided to bring her back to the Bay Area and moved the boat from the BVI's through the Gulf of Mexico into the Panama Canal and up the Eastern Pacific to California. FLYER has never transited on the deck of a ship. Thousands of ocean miles and a vast area of conditions were accomplished on her own bottom .

Since acquiring FLYER in 2005, her owners have continually maintained, improved, and upgraded her. Recent work includes a complete exterior Awlgrip finish, rebuilt saildrives, updated Raymarine instrumentation, new house and starting batteries, new water heaters, renewed plumbing fixtures, upgraded canvas, and numerous mechanical and cosmetic improvements.

FLYER represents an attractive opportunity for sailors seeking a spacious, fast, shallow-draft catamaran with extensive equipment and proven bluewater experience.
