The office of Marc Lombard has put all of their 25 years of experience with cruising and racing catamarans into this new 85’ JFA Long Island 85 Catamaran. The firm is also responsible for the interior design.
By her size and her freeboard, the Long Island 85 Catamaran is designed to sail far and in the greatest comfort. The hulls and the bottom of the nacelle will be made of aluminum while the deck and superstructures will be made of composite. The desired goal is to build a multi-hull with its weight adapted to its navigation program.

In the port hull there is a second guest cabin, the galley and 2 crew cabins.
