HAMMERHEAD does it all! Incredible performance, shallow draft, excellent accommodation, all in the same boat. She is a sailor's boat. Simple interior and systems maintain low overall weight and great performance.

Single and short handed sailing is easy with this trimaran. All sail controls lead to the secure midship cockpit. In ocean conditions her motion through the water is extremely comfortable. The narrow forebody can slice through waves at high speed without pounding. Downwind she is steady as a rock with minimal roll and yaw.

Safe and comfortable offshore, and more than a few very experienced sailors have declared this design as, "The best boat I've ever sailed!".

"Flying Fish" History

"FLYING FISH combines exceptional sailing performance, shallow draft versatility, offshore capability, and comfortable accommodations in one remarkably efficient cruising trimaran.

Designed by renowned multihull designer Chris White and professionally built by Charlie Pingree at Banks Cove Boatworks, Flying Fish was constructed to Chris White's design scantlings using WEST System epoxy throughout. The vessel has benefited from continuous professional maintenance and thoughtful upgrades by her builder-owner since launch.

Flying Fish regularly cruises at 8-9 knots under sail and is capable of speeds exceeding 20 knots. Under power, her Yanmar 51 hp diesel drives the boat comfortably at 8 knots while consuming approximately 1.3 gallons per hour, providing a cruising range of approximately 500 nautical miles.

Many experienced sailors consider the Hammerhead 54 one of Chris White's finest designs, combining exhilarating performance with remarkable comfort and ease of handling.
