30-inch bridgedeck clearance - Any less makes
bluewater cruising uncomfortable.
Over-engineered rigging - By working closely
with the premier mast manufacturer, Antares and Seldén
Mast engineered rigging with double diamond arrangement
and forward jumper to withstand loads well above typical
expectations.
Antares does not use sail drives - Shaft drives
are not only more robust; they also allow us to place
the propellers in a protected area at the end of the
keel where there is minimal water disturbance. Another
advantage to shaft drives is concentrated weight distribution
amidships. By placing the engines, fuel and water tanks
beneath the floorboards below the waterline, fore and
aft pitching is minimal. This enhances the responsiveness
of the Antares and makes sailing more comfortable.
Hard Dodger - For serious off-shore cruising.
The Antares is the only production catamaran that offers
a glass windshield and wipers.
Shaft Steering System - As opposed to cables,
the Antares' shaft steering system can withstand heavier
water conditions, making steering more responsive under
any circumstance.
