An independent reading of this builder written by AI. Unlike the specifications and descriptions elsewhere on this page, it is interpretation rather than a sourced fact — treat it as a starting point, not a citation.

What this builder is

HH Catamarans is the performance cruising catamaran brand of the Hudson Yacht Group, formed in 2012 when Hudson Wang and composite builder Paul Hakes set out to build high-end multihulls in Asia. The range, from the HH44 to the HH88, is designed with Morrelli & Melvin (the 44 and 46 in-house by Hudson Yacht & Marine) and built in carbon and epoxy at two wholly owned yards, a 1.2-million-square-foot facility in Xiamen and a newer one in Cebu. Its EcoDrive parallel-hybrid propulsion with hydro-regeneration and large solar arrays is the brand's signature technology.

Who sails them

HH buyers are typically experienced owner-operators — couples and families who want to sail fast on long passages without a professional crew on the 44 to 60-foot models, while the HH66 and HH88 are run with crew; the boats are bought for world cruising, rallies and the occasional regatta rather than charter fleets.

Signature models

The HH66, launched in 2017, was the first HH and won Sailing World's Overall Boat of the Year; the HH55 followed in 2018 with Cruising World's multihull Boat of the Year and brought the concept to owner-operators; the HH44 introduced EcoDrive hybrid propulsion to the smaller end of the range, and the HH88 is the flagship.

Strengths

HH is recognised for carbon-heavy, epoxy-infused construction that keeps its cruising cats light and stiff, daggerboard performance with Morrelli & Melvin design, the EcoDrive hybrid and solar package, and a semi-custom build process at its own factories.

Considerations

As a semi-custom performance builder, HH prices sit well above production catamarans, the larger models need crew, and buyers should weigh the performance-oriented interior volume and daggerboard handling against the simpler fixed-keel charter-style cats; the HH56 and HH80 are announced without published figures.
