As a result of the many requests received from visitors to the Grand Pavois Boat Exhibition in La Rochelle during September, DEAN CATAMARANS have made special arrangements to once again make “TNT” the new and exceptional “Dean 441 Ambiance” available for viewing and test sailing’, for the next month. Make your arrangements and experience the new Dean 441 Ambiance in the peace and quiet of St Gilles de Vie, situated 53 km from Nantes airport. 

“TNT” sailed from Cape Town to La Rochelle, averaging 192 miles per day and reaching a maximum speed of 27,3 knots – covering the distance in 38 days..

Make use of the magic moments, to come and see, test, touch and experience the Quick Cruising catamaran of choice! TNT is now also available for sale!

As an extra bonus, a second Dean 441, “Serenite” will be moored alongside.  The owners of “Serenite” together with their two young children are all set to sail the oceans over the next few years. Hear of their experiences…

…..”going green and doing our part for the environment”. The actual definition of green is “we are conscious of the environment and the possible negative impact that boats can have on it”

few examples of our green commitment :

·         Rain catcher – being doing this since 2002
·         LED lights – no filament, less heat, last 15x longer, use 80% less power therefore less fuel needed to burn to charge batteries
·         Solar panels – charge batteries so no need to run engines so therefore fewer emissions
·         Cleaning products – we only use “Citronox” which is a natural product and is not harmful to the environment
·         Bio diesel – we only use this when we fill the tank, less Carbon monoxide, less carbon dioxide, less sulphur
·         Holding tanks – we have for the toilets as well as gauges
·         Engine bed – we have a trapment area so that oil and diesel cannot go to the bilge and get pumped into the sea. Only way to remove is by           hand
·         Rubbish bins – we have one in the galley and one in the cockpit
·         Anti-fouling – we only use Micron CSC which is environmentally friendly
