A Lot of Character!
We got to discover the Knysna 500SE at the Annapolis Boat Show, and just like the South African port from which it takes its name, the 500SE certainly has character - Knysna is a charming seaside town at the head of a bay-lagoon whose entrance is sporty with rough seas.

Solidly built to withstand difficult conditions without damage, this catamaran is delivered highly equipped, and customization is the rule. The cockpit saloon is well sheltered, and the semi-flybridge helm station has a sunroof that allows the helmsman to be closed in if there’s bad weather. The traditional woodwork of the interior fittings is superb and evokes a neat British style. All with great comfort and maintaining a favorable displacement…
