Description
FIREFLY 850 – High-Performance Sports Catamaran (2016) – Exceptional Condition
Asking Price: 1,300,000 THB
A rare opportunity to acquire the newest Firefly 850, a renowned Mark Pescott one-design 8.5m sports racing catamaran, expertly built in 2016 by Taylor Composites. Known for blistering performance, ultra-light construction, and exhilarating handling, the Firefly 850 class is one of the most exciting multihull designs in Asia.
This particular vessel has had extremely light use—dry-sailed since launch and used no more than one month per year—and is presented in very good condition. Though optimized for racing, it also doubles as a minimalist “camp-cruising” catamaran, perfect for local adventures.
