The Iroquois Mk I is a Fast Cruising Catamaran for sale described as being very seaworthy and capable of speeds exceeding 18 knots in moderate winds. They are also renowned for being easy to handle; one article at the time described them as being able to come about like a dinghy. This is a vessel that is easy to sail, gives a good performance and is very seaworthy
Flying Feather is the finest example of an Iroquois MK 1 as she underwent a Major renovation from 2009 to 2011 while the vessel was out of the water in a shipyard. Much of the equipment and sails purchased in 2009 thus were never used until launching late last year.

The Lagoon 52, the latest model developed by the world's leading builder of cruising catamarans, marks a whole new era in the design of such boats, as indeed did its predecessor, the famed Lagoon 500.
With its diamond-shaped vertical bows, bevelled hulls, its as if levitated deckhouse and tall rig, the Lagoon 52 is no ordinary catamaran, but its originality goes a great deal further than just its "outer" appearance, or even its interior layout.
noble and luxurious materials, with soft shades for a harmonious interior
continuous horizontal and fluent lines give the interior open and generous spaces
continuity between exterior and interior life
a slender exterior design for a boat with a strong character
Lagoon expertise
infusion-moulding for increased weight saving (important for a catamaran), an optimal structure, and greater protection for the environment and shipbuilders
interior woodwork in Alpi® reconstituted wood, a sustainable source
vertical glazing for better protection against the sun and optimal space and headroom
gull-wing bridge deck for greater comfort in heavy seas
wide choice of layouts including 3, 4 or 5 cabins, with respectively 3, 4 or 5 washrooms
VPLP design: performance under sail guaranteed!
Exterior: elegance, comfort and safety
the boat is accessed via open aft transoms, facilitating boarding and disembarking
broad sidedecks, with recessed deck hatches
the cockpit is level with the saloon, and has an outdoor lounge and sun-lounging area to starboard
the fly bridge is reached either by a staircase leading from the cockpit, or by another leading from the deck on the starboard side
the steering station can be adjusted to three different positions (starboard, centre or port), giving the skipper perfect visibility under sail or when manoeuvring
Rigging: performance and user-friendliness
The decision to locate the mast further to aft directly comes from the designers' racing experience and has many advantages on a cruising catamaran:
a large forward triangle allows a larger sails choice: a promise for great performance
the shorter boom makes the mainsail much easier to maneuver
the mainsail, which is relatively narrower and higher, benefits from better winds at the top, thus enhancing performance
by re-centering the weight in this way, pitching is considerably reduced
Interiors: comfort, space, light
the saloon encompasses the lounge and dining table to starboard, a large galley to port which gives on directly to the cockpit to form a large 'L', together with the chart table in the middle, facing out to sea.
all the cabins have large double beds, storage space in keeping with the offshore sailing program of the boat and, of course, an en-suite bathroom with separate shower
the cabins have incomparable natural lighting thanks to the fixed hull windows, together with excellent ventilation thanks to the deck hatches and portholes that open out to the hull-side or to the cockpit.
