Boat Description
Slime represents the pinnacle of sailing performance in a minimalist, comfortable sports catamaran capable of 25+ knots, delivering moments of pure exhilaration and joy with family and friends.
Truly a work of art, designed and built by one of New Zealand’s masters of naval construction, John Hughes, Slime is based on a modified Tennant Bladerunner design. Though originally built in 1987, very little of the original boat remains, as she was completely rebuilt, re-engineered and relaunched by Hughes in 2016.
“Setting off on Slime is akin to accelerating down the runway in a big jet. You’re thrust back into your seating position, thrilled by the raw power… Slime is a custom design and build carbon rocket ship with Hughes’ legendary innovation and ingenuity on display everywhere you look.” (Boating NZ review 2021)
No expense has been spared on this vessel that would cost well over a million dollars to build today. With its exceptional construction combining carbon, fibreglass, and Kevlar, along with Dyneema shrouds, every detail of Slime has been meticulously crafted to save weight, add strength and offer an unparalleled sailing experience.
Its legendary speed and remarkable stability make it a must-have choice for thrillseekers. Thanks to its clever design, Slime can be easily sailed short-handed, or even solo, and managed by sailors of all levels, offering total freedom on the high seas.
Her retractable rudders and daggerboards mean you can literally step off the wide transom onto the beach, or sneak up into any shallow anchorage you choose, well beyond where most sailing boats can go.
