The Wright 52 Powercat is a 52ft offshore catamaran delivering a strong balance of performance, efficiency, and cruising comfort.

Powered by twin Yanmar 550hp engines, it holds a steady 22 knot cruise while burning around 64 litres per hour combined. That’s an efficient result for a vessel of this size - maintaining pace without excessive engine load, which improves range, smoothness, and overall running costs underway.

For K2 Marine, the choice of Yanmar came down to reputation, reliability, and customer confidence. Fuel efficiency has also proven a major selling point. “Customers are often surprised by how low the running costs are,” says K2 Marine’s Amos Kay. “Yanmar’s efficiency is a key reason we chose them.”
