A large settee and dinette to port create a perfect space for dining or relaxation, while a thoughtfully designed centerline console provides storage for cutlery, wine, and more. To starboard, the galley impresses with its spacious layout, high-end appliances, and ample counter space. Expansive salon windows flood the space with natural light, offering breathtaking views while underway.
The accommodations are equally well-designed, featuring four staterooms and four heads. Aft staterooms are outfitted with queen-sized berths, while the forward berths provide comfortable doubles.

Primary Details:
This exceptional custom-built catamaran, the Shuttleworth 52, was masterfully designed by John Shuttleworth, a renowned authority on high-performance catamarans from England. Commissioned to create a vessel that is fast, smooth, and safe while incorporating the cutting-edge AeroRig® self-sailing system, Shuttleworth delivered a stunning masterpiece of innovation and craftsmanship.
Construction and Specifications:
Crafted with precision, the Shuttleworth 52 boasts an advanced composite structure of Airex foam core, carbon fiber, Kevlar, E-glass, and Pro-Set epoxy resin. Measuring 52'2" in overall length with a 33'6" beam, she is both spacious and agile. Her shallow draft of 2'10", complemented by kick-up rudders and a cockpit-controlled daggerboard in the port hull, ensures exceptional versatility in various waters.
Twin 59-horsepower Volvo diesel engines with Sail Drives power this vessel, paired with 3-blade stainless steel props featuring adjustable pitch and full feathering. The engine rooms provide ample space for easy maintenance, and the KE-4 electric engine controls and Jastram hydraulic steering enhance precision handling. With a displacement of 16,500 lbs and a useful load capacity of 10,000 lbs, this catamaran offers remarkable performance and capacity. The flush deck hatches, bow netting, and Ocean non-skid deck ensure safety and ease of movement on board. The radar arch accommodates essential equipment, including radar, which is optimally positioned away from the rotating mast.
AeroRig® Mast and Sailing System:
At the heart of this catamaran’s sailing innovation is the free-standing carbon fiber AeroRig® mast. Designed for minimal crew requirements, it enables near-effortless handling, with the majority of sail adjustments managed from the cockpit via an electric winch. Structural reinforcements in the main beam, cabin top, and bridgedeck pivot area ensure robust support for the rig. The roller-furling mainsail and headsail are manual but can be adapted for operation from the helm, further simplifying single-handed sailing.
Interior and Accommodations:
The Shuttleworth 52 offers luxurious accommodations with four staterooms and four private heads. The aft staterooms feature queen-sized beds, while the forward staterooms offer comfortable doubles. Thoughtfully designed storage solutions, including hanging lockers and integrated compartments, maximize space. Overhead hatches and port lights flood the interiors with natural light and fresh air.
The main salon is a welcoming hub, incorporating a galley and a formal dining area with seating for 6-8 guests. The U-shaped galley is well-equipped with a quiet AC/DC refrigerator, propane stove and oven, microwave, ample counter space, and extensive storage, including a pantry in the starboard hull. Additional amenities include three 100-gallon freshwater tanks, two 10-gallon hot water tanks, and a washer/dryer combo.
Cockpit and Deck Features:
The cockpit is designed for comfort and functionality, with a spacious U-shaped seating area and easy access to the hulls, dinghy deck, and aft storage. The aft deck also includes seating, storage, and a live bait compartment, making this vessel ideal for both relaxation and adventure. A drop-down boarding bow ladder and dual electric windlasses add to the vessel’s convenience.
Customization Potential:
The Shuttleworth 52 offers opportunities for personal touches and upgrades, such as the addition of a generator, water maker, or advanced electronics. With its elegant design, innovative features, and luxurious accommodations, this catamaran promises an exceptional experience on the water.
