It was two years ago at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show that I talked to Dave Biggar about his ideas and plans for the Cure 55. At the 2025 show I got to step on board the yacht and see how his ideas became reality.

Carbon construction, 3D printing and light weight composites combine with cruising convenience to make a fast catamaran capable of travelling on extended sails in luxury.

Mark Jardine chats with Dave as well as Cure Marine's Ed Penn, and the happy owners of Cure 55 #1.
