The Rayvin 30 is well priced and is an ideal low maintenance boat that is capable of both coastal and ocean passages.
Rayvin Yachts is based 20 kms North of Durban in the tropical province of Natal. The company is relatively new and is run by a husband and wife team who are committed to providing a superior product that meets high standards both in quality and safety.
Having sailed on many yachts all over the world we decided that catamaran sailing was by far the most comfortable, the only problem we had was that being a husband and wife team with two young children we found that any cat over 30 foot was a handful for the two of us and the size was daunting to begin with. Small manageable boats were too cramped and hardly performed under sail.
It was with all of the above in mind that we set about coming up with the Rayvin 30 concept. The boat had to be small, with large accommodation, it had to perform at the same pace or faster than the 45 FT cats, and it had to be able to point like a monohull. An attack angle to the wind of less than 40 degrees was a prerequisite. The first comments from our design team on our requirements was impossible, unachievable, ridiculous¯, but we stuck to our guns and the Rayvin 30 was born.
On launching our first Rayvin 30 we were pleased that the boat more than met all of the above criteria. She proved to be a very stable craft and is most forgiving in heavy winds and choppy seas. We feel that we have struck the ultimate formula for short handed family sailing and the exhilaration of multi-hull performance all wrapped up in an affordable package.
