Garry is a naval architect from New Zealand who carries out his prolific activities from his offices in Queensland (Brisbane, on the east coast of Australia). The Lidgard office is unknown in Europe, but is well-known elsewhere for its global approach to boat design. Racing prototypes, neo-classical monohulls, multihulls of all sizes, and motor boats are created at a sustained rhythm by Garry’s pencil, and he upholds a pragmatic vision of his profession. Coming from a family which counts several generations of builders, it is not surprising that he is interested in ‘do-it-yourself’.

The decoration of this Fusion is really successful. An example to be followed for many builders.

Why not do it yourself?

Phil Weld and Dick Newick dreamed of it (the constant camber) to allow poor fishing populations to possess fast boats, which would exempt them from dependence on fuel and engines. Derek Kelsall took up the idea (the KSS) and adapted it to the creation of cruising catamarans, from his new base in New Zealand. The Anglo-Saxon culture (USA-Australia-New Zealand) seemed to be more receptive to the concept of individual construction than Southern Europe, which had almost forgotten this idea since the rush to the water in the 70s The result of this attitude wasn’t long in coming, and in Australia and New Zealand, excellent multihulls built by their owners can be found everywhere, and their second-hand prices are often moderate. In France, this practice is now marginal, reduced to confidentiality by the zealous attitude of the protective authorities and the negative word of mouth from the commercial circuits who are protecting their fortress.

An Australian catamaran, built in Thailand, assembled in France, at La Rochelle: this is the Fusion 40…

Gary Lidgard’s Fusion 40 catamaran model was designed after lengthy consultation with multihull owners worldwide. The result is a mid sized cat with features that ideally suit an owner who needs good cruising comfort along with a light and relatively nimble performance. Gary Litgard’s design for the Fusion 40 was truly a fusion of the best Australian catamaran design concepts. Fusions have a central electric winch in the cockpit as innovated by Lock Crowther and commonly seen on Catanas. They have an Owner’s Hull layout with huge aft owner’s shower & head very much like that of the successful Perry 43. And they have a ‘barn door’ cockpit/salon integration and protective hard bimini similar to Seawinds. Litgard added a galley up and surprisingly good CAD assisted ergonomics to the package and integrated everything into a sleek and seakindly profile.

Fusions are hull, deck, and bulkhead kit boats. The workmanship, interiors, wiring, equipment, and overall quality varies depending on the builder.

ALACRITY is an excellent example of Fusion Catamarans. Fusion catamarans came in kit form from Australia using computer design and foam core / glass w/Vinylester resin (so no osmosis). The sections were then shipped in 2 40ft containers to the builder. Alacrity was built by expert craftsman in the former Manta Catamaran factory in Sarasota Florida.

	? Based on what I saw on their website, it is one slick craft. However, I am trying to figure out whether going the partial you build it out is at the end of the day more economical. Thanks!

23-06-2009, 05:41
Boat: Privilege 37	. The off for build it yourself is time available. If you can earn more by working, it is better to buy a ready built one. Furthermore, you lose a lot of sailing time slopping resin into glass cloth. However, a build does allow the cost to be spread across time.

	in the kit, and it's certainly the most expensive 40 foot kit around. I think the Fusion 40 kit is around Au$185,000, where for instance my kit (Oram 44C) was under Au$70,000. I'll have my 44' built, launched and sailing for less than a Fusion kit. But it will have taken longer. For me the Fusion was never an option, the is too low, and there's no way of improving it, which I was able to do with mine. Another option is the Oceanic 373, which is a similar kit to the Fusion, with moulded , but has a comprehensive set of mouldings as well. I'm pretty sure it's a cheaper kit than the Fusion although it's also slightly smaller.

I must say that for what I've seen, it's worth the paying for an almost finished boat instead of spending month (or years) building it. Doesn't the count also as if it was money? How much cheaper is the Oram design compared to the fusion? What about the interior? I'm thinking about something nice, but not super-expensive. I'm able to do almost 100% of it. Greets Merlin

	than finishing the outside. The Oram kit costs around $65-70k Aus. As I said before, I'll have my boat launched, fully equipped and sailing for less than the Fusion KIT. Whether you feel the @ 2000-2500 hours saved on the Fusion is worth the extra $110,000 is entirely up to you. You could save even more time and just buy a boat.

Boat: Jeanneau MF 895 - 2018	the and the bare interior in both versions? What about glues and fairing materials, is that included in the Oram Kit? It seems to be a lot of material to add to the boat, while with the Fusion you only have to work on the joints. And any interior I'd like to fit in it would be extra cost, right? My consideration is: as I have to rent a place to build my boat, it'll cost less for - let's say - two month or three than a year. I would not be able to buy a boat brand new (at least not in this class), because I simply don't have the money. And that's why I'm asking to get so detailed infos to prepare myself a cost plan and see if I can afford it. Regards Merlin

Quick Look: Fusion 40 USA

By Jeremy McGeary
Updated: September 12, 2007

Australia-based Fusion Catamarans has opened a production facility in Sarasota, Florida, where it is currently building the Fusion 40 USA to individual customer order. This Gary Lidgard design shows a profile of gentle curves capped by a rigid cockpit roof that flows in all dimensions from the saloon. More curves direct the transom steps to permit boarding from inboard of the hulls rather than over the sterns. A relatively short forward bridgedeck connected to the bow crossbar by a catwalk supports the designer’s claim that this cat is built to deliver performance. The self-tacking jib suggests you won’t have to work hard to obtain it.

The interior plans show a master suite to port and in the starboard hull a queen suite forward and a study aft. The saloon has a 360-degree view and opening windows to create cross ventilation. The builder can make modifications “to reflect the needs and tastes” of each client.

I recently sold my boat through The Multihull Company and was very pleased with the experience. Their professionalism and efficiency made the process smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend their services for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat!

Highly recommend Andrew Hodgdon and The Multihull Company crew. They were an amazing resource throughout the entire purchase process – organizing viewing, getting the boat under contract and surveyed, all the way through closing. Communications were consistent and straight forward. Multiple personal touches along the way to make you feel like part of the team.

— Joshua Harper

Could not be happier. Conor is just a super likable guy and he walked us through the whole process and Andrew handled all the paperwork and financials and together they got me into my first catamaran! Will definitely be calling Conor again when we buy our next boat!

I’ve used The Multihull Company to list and sell two catamarans in the past year and they have been excellent to work with. The first cat was a vessel (42 Lagoon) I had released from my charter company. We had som difficulties during the sale process with the buyer finalizing the purchase and TMC handled things beautifully and we were able to close as expected. The second, a 1997 Island Packet Cat, they were able to attract multiple potential buyers, in a fairly short period of time, and just before our sailing season ended here in Michigan. Will, Andrew, Riley and the rest of the team there have been excellent to work with. Very professional and responsive. As someone that has worked in sales and sales management for my entire career, I appreciate the process they have in place and their execution.

Another option is the Oceanic 373, which is a similar kit to the Fusion, with moulded hull parts, but has a comprehensive set of interior mouldings as well. I'm pretty sure it's a cheaper kit than the Fusion although it's also slightly smaller. Catamaran. Oceanic 373 Catamaran 'Fastbuild Kit'
