Construction & Design
Advanced Composite Construction
- Foam sandwich hull construction using Mycell closed-cell foam core
- E-glass composite laminates
- Carbon fibre reinforcement within the superstructure
- GRP composite deck construction
- Integrated skegs protecting rudders and propellers
- Forward-sloping saloon windows reducing glare and heat build-up
- Full standing headroom of 2 metres throughout the vessel
Shallow Draft Advantages
The twin mini-keel configuration allows:
- Access to shallow anchorages
- Easy beaching capability
- Simplified antifouling maintenance
- Greater cruising flexibility
- Storm refuge in shallow waters
Flip-up rudders further enhance the vessel’s beaching capability.
Designed for Real Cruising
The Onyx 10.5 has been designed specifically for owner-operated cruising and can comfortably be sailed by a couple or family crew. Access from the water is simple via the sugar scoops or integrated bow steps, while the shallow draft and lifting rudders allow exploration of anchorages often inaccessible to deeper-draft vessels.
The combination of modern construction, simplified systems, excellent visibility, spacious accommodation, and innovative hydraulic propulsion creates a highly practical and capable cruising catamaran.
