Layout

Raku 40 Performance Cruiser Catamaran
Grainger designs – originally designers of flat-out racers – have succeeded in giving the Raku 40 the comfort of a cruiser. The slightly strong construction ensures little wet surface and the catamaran concept for a high sail-carrying capacity. The inverted bow (to prevent “diving”) and the tight lines play give the catamaran a beautiful, almost futuristic, appearance.
Layouts
The standard layout includes a central bathroom in the hull and a second bathroom forward in the port side. A four cabin layout is available with central bathrooms in both hulls.
Cockpit
There are two cockpit layouts: one with the steering station aft and one with the steering position placed against the cabin. In both cases it is a double steering station.
Engines
Inboard diesels are preferred for open ocean sails and rod crossover security, but outboard engines can be fitted if the boat is primarily in protected waters. An Oceanvolt electrical system can also be installed.
Swords and fixed keels
The standard design comes with swords, but the cat can also be fitted with fixed keels.
Bare composite structure faired and painted
The Raku 40 is also available as a bare composite structure faired and painted ready for the fit out.
