Overview
Paradigm Shift - 2011 St. Francis 50 | Founder-Built | 4-Cabin Bluewater Catamaran
Paradigm Shift is a beautifully maintained, superbly equipped example of one of the most respected bluewater cruising catamarans ever built--with the rare distinction of being originally built for Duncan Lethbridge, founder of St. Francis Marine.
One of the final hand-laid St. Francis 50 hulls built with Corecell foam, offering a more resin-rich laminate and the solid, proven feel many offshore sailors prefer. Her pedigree is evident throughout, reflecting a higher level of build quality, fit, and finish than typically found in production vessels of this size.
Following her original ownership, Paradigm Shift is a 2 owner vessel and has operated successfully in the crewed charter market, benefiting from consistent professional maintenance, regular system use, and ongoing upgrades. She presents today as a turnkey platform for private cruising or continued charter service.
