Designed by Pat Patterson and launched in 1971, this British-built catamaran represents an early entry into the production multihull market. Heavenly Cruising Yachts Ltd. constructed these fiberglass vessels with a focus on comfortable coastal cruising and moderate performance sailing. The Heavenly Twins features a beamy 13.75-foot width that provides exceptional stability and spacious accommodations for its 27-foot length. With a shallow 2.25-foot draft, this catamaran excels in exploring thin waters, anchorages, and coastal areas that would challenge deeper-draft monohulls. The masthead sloop rig carries 380 square feet of sail area, delivering respectable performance while remaining manageable for small crews. At 6,285 pounds displacement, the design strikes a balance between structural integrity and sailing efficiency. The SA/Displacement ratio of 17.91 indicates moderate performance characteristics well-suited to relaxed cruising rather than racing applications. Twin 9-horsepower engines provide adequate auxiliary power and excellent maneuverability in tight quarters. This catamaran appeals most to sailors seeking stable, shoal-draft cruising capabilities with the comfort and space advantages inherent to multihull design. The Heavenly Twins works best for protected waters, coastal exploration, and weekend cruising where comfort takes precedence over ultimate speed.
