HH44: OC v. SC models explained (Episode 5)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- The all new HH Catamarans HH44 is a ground breaking yacht offered in two versions: Ocean Cruising (OC) and Sports Cruising (SC). In this video we hear from Paul Hakes (CEO & Co-Founder of HH) and James Hakes (HH Naval Architect) on how they and the team at HH Catamarans envisioned the differences between these two models.
UPDATE: Since the recording of this episode we have renamed the "HH" version the "SC" (Sports Cruising) version to better explain the key features of the sportier model. Meanwhile the "OC" (Ocean Cruising) version could be described as an easy to handle, owner/operator style boat that still offers plenty of performance for enjoyable world cruising.

Cant wait to see hull 3 sailing with the Wynns. They are beautiful boats.
We can't wait either!
The Wynns are y’all’s best marketing team ever
Agreed!
What great products and I loved “The Sailing Family” ending!
Thanks for watching!
@@TheSailingFamily Seth, you are an awesome man and father to a beautiful family! I am really looking forward to the delivery of the Wynn’s HH44.
just waiting for my Lottery win to buy. Excellent boat. Thank You 😎
Best of luck!
Just want to say that moving to the SC and OC model naming convention was a great idea! It's much easier to understand after that change.
Glad it was helpful!
The way you two communicate and respond with each other it's as if you're father & son. It's a very natural delivery and feels so honest. I really enjoy your chats. I can't afford any new catamaran but I can dream because I think at 68 it is too late for me. I am glad to see straight drives and not sail drives on both boats. So much safer. ** One Question: Why have trampolines on a boat? I see the Bali 4.5 has no trampoline and uses it for forward lounging space.
The trampolines are a good indicator of how performance oriented (versus houseboat oriented) the catamaran is. The more you build forward of the mast, the wider the hulls must be to float the weight, and the slower and less performing the boat will be. If you see a big trampoline, then the bows are long and lightweight and efficient in shape. Hope that helps!
@@HHCatamarans Thank you. That is the most easy-to-understand reason I have heard. Makes sense. Maybe that is why my friends Bali 4.5 has a Side by Side refrigerator in the salon.
Nice work guys.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great to see the boat building is still going well, long time no see Paul 2007 I think, I've been following the Wynns for some time
Thank a great looking cat you have there Clefty. Regards Brian.
Can't wait to see！ +1
I’ll need to watch this at least twice......! 🤨
Its my dream to own an HH.
Would love to see some live updates from the factory floor, as the first 44s and 52s are being built, as what Ruby Rose is doing from the SeaWind factory. Really want to see these being built.
Those are coming next! Our President, Seth Hynes, will be visiting the factory and filming several updates on all the builds in progress. We have several new builds underway (HH44, 52, 60 and 88) so lots to share!
Great explanation Paul and James. Such a beautiful design. Question: can the winged keels on the OC support the weight of the boat when on the hard? Can it be beached? Have you quantified the extent of the improved pointing ability with the SC? Many thanks... Ben.
Good question Ben. No, these keels simulate having two daggerboards partially dropped, so they are very narrow and are not load bearing. We have run VPP analysis on the OC and SC boats and will email you a comparison. Hope all is well cruising in Indo. ~Seth
@@HHCatamarans How can we find the VPP comparison between these models?
Looking forward to the hh52 videos.
Posting one today! ua-cam.com/video/02Vk3b3M1S8/v-deo.html
Would love to see this same series for the 52!
We are in the middle of that series now. Please click our channel page to watch the first two episodes!
Perfect size for a couple! Nice to see boat manufacturers are now filling this'd mid-40's niche. What do you figure to be a realistic remaining payload once optioned out and tanks full on the 44OC? Cheers
Good question! The base HH44 has a Lightships Displacement of 8750 kg and a Heavy Displacement Max Load of 13,500 kg. So that gives us the ability to add 4,750 kg (or 10,472 lbs) to the boat without exceeding the boat's design parameters.
when are you planning to launch the first hh44? and where are you planning to participate boat show with this boat?
The first HH44 was just rolled out of the paint booth two days ago and made it's debut in this video, but the first boat show will likely be at Cannes this September. We hope to have hull 02 in Newport and Annapolis as well. We can't wait!
Looking forward to #1 hitting the water. I hope you are going to mock up that helm station and try it out. I've never seen a situation you had to reach over your instruments and throttles to get to the winches. Even if you got ultra-low profile throttles (or quasi flush mount), you are going to be pulling a lot of line over that instrument panel.
I was at the factory two weeks ago and messed around with Hull 01. It was much like my Outremer 51 where you reach over the wheel to the winches. No problems.
Thanks a lot. I do not understand the HH 44 OC is available with ECO Drive motor?
Yes, it is an option on the HH44-OC. It comes standard with the sportier SC version.
Hello, I looked on the website but was not able to answer my question, is there a galley down floor plan for the HH44 OC?
Sorry James, we only offer the General Arrangement found on our website. The galley is in the main salon. Thanks!
i d like one 44 but the delivery delay is very long. and i waiting the first landing and the Euro/dollard up
Yes unfortunately (and fortunately) we already have 33 sold at the time of this video release. It has become a very popular model for us!
A question about sailing ability and stability. Sailing experts (I'm not) say that carbon yachts/catamarans don't sit "in" the water but "on" it. The reason being is that they are so lite that, in rough weather, one is thrown around more than in a heavier boat. Is there some truth to this, and again, if so, do you use extra ballast to find the balance between stability and cruising speed? Thanks
A purebred race boat certainly does sit on the water, but these are Cruising Boats with closing cabinetry, lots of refrigeration, plush finishes, loads of solar and other items that bring the displacement similar to other fiberglass boats. Cruising on an HH Catamaran is about as comfortable as you can get.
You do realize the quicker you can get the Wynn's boat on the water and their huge weekly following, the faster your sales will take off??!!
They're boat #3 and coming along nicely. We always try to build fast - but build quality is more important. It will be out soon!
Awesome catamarans, way better than balances... how long it takes from order to delivery?
We aim to be of a higher build quality with superior performance over the Balance (yet the same price). Currently we are looking at Hull 34 completing in June of 2026, but you might want to reach out to us at Sales@HHCatamarans.com if an earlier slot opens up.
@@HHCatamarans does 55 or 66 deliver time sooner?
Yes, definitely. The HH55, HH60 and HH66 can all be built under two years from today.
Are you able to make a galley cabinet that Jason can have a single drawer Bosch dishwasher in, please🍽🍷🍺☕️🍴. You know, to keep the peace.
When do the Wynns expect to receive their boat?
Just a few more months!
how fast can each of the models cruise under sails?
If you email us at Sales@hhcatamarans.com we will send you our polar diagrams, but these are safely 80% of wind speed boats.
We cant wait until the 1st Hull is splashed and some sea trials... !!
The pictures of Hull 01 in this video are from just a few days ago. She is coming along nicely!
お尋ねします？
ゴムボートを乗せて上下可動する台を電動アーム付きで、追加する事は出来ますか？？？？
下降下限は海の中で、そのままゴムボートが浮かんで乗る迄下げる事。
ボードと一緒に上の吊り具迄、電動で上げたい❗
こちとら非力な老人なので、ゴムボートを吊り揚げる力が無いのですが(笑)
又、出来るならば幾ら位の価格でしょうか？？？？
本体はHH44とします、。
Has the China Covid issue hurt production timing?
Our wholly owned factory in Xiamen was delayed about a month and a half, but back to it!
do you use only epoxy or do you use vinyl ester?
Technically our boats are all 100% epoxy infused but we do add a barrier outside skin layer using vinylester to act as an anti-osmotic barrier on top of the super rigid epoxy infused hull. Our paint is then a two part marine polyurethanes which further protects. The female molded hull & deck is built using our in-house 18m 5 axis CNC
router for dimensional accuracy to within +/-1.0mm and is also epoxy infused E-glass sandwich construction. There are no corners cut on any HH Catamaran, including our OC models.
@@HHCatamarans Could you clarify why you would need to use an outsider layer of vinyl ester barrier coat if your boats are all epoxy which is the superior material? This would make sense to me if you were using polyester like Outremer does, but I've not heard of putting vinyl ester over a 100% epoxy catamaran. Thanks!
Automate all rigs and ropes and lines covered from wear and tear weathers . And in better technologies on smooth sailing and trouble shooting AI computers hv to be added and backup as manual switch if there breakdown .
Promo>SM 🙏
should have given carbon fibre Radar as standard
Good idea. :)
Looks expensive to ground this thing.
If you plan on doing that, you may prefer the Daggerboard version which has a slightly reduced draft and the ability to lift the boards should they touch.
1.5 million for a BASE boat (OC44) out of Asia. Taking the piss.
The base boat is $957,000. And yes, many boats are built in Asia (really good ones).
