Last week saw the cabin top installed on B78, the latest Catalyst 45 GT currently taking shape at Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders.

The second Catalyst to feature the GT-style superstructure, B78 will also be the first of its kind to call Perth, Western Australia, home.

Powered by twin 600hp Mercury V12 outboards, B78 will be hard to beat making the crossing between Perth and Rottnest Island.

A milestone for our latest Catalyst 45 Chase.

With work on the hull reaching the next stage, it was time to turn her over — always a significant moment in any build and a beaut day for it.

Now right-side up, the next phase begins.

Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders is pleased to confirm construction is underway on the first Catalyst 50 V2.

Well suited for life as a luxury superyacht tender B77’s construction progress has seen the first bulkheads vacuum infused and released.

Developed from the proven Morrelli & Melvin hull originally designed for America’s Cup chase boat operations, the Catalyst platform continues to evolve through ongoing testing and refinement.

The new V2 design introduces a plumb stem configuration with deeper forward hull sections, increased waterline length, improved accommodation volume, and updated styling — while retaining the performance, ride quality, and flexibility the Catalyst range is known for.

Yesterday marked the launch of the latest addition to the Catalyst chase fleet — the 50’ ‘Django Shade’. As expected, early sea trials proved impressive, with the foil assisted vessel reaching a top speed of 52 knots. More to come soon.
This custom Catalyst 50 Chase is built to service and support Giovanni Lombardi Stronati's 'Django' race team, which recently won the Maxi Grand Prix World Championship. The design has been customised to include reverse-rake forward windscreens, giving it a distinct commercial look while retaining the crew comforts the Catalyst is well known for. The addition of our custom foil package further enhances her the seakeeping characteristics and extends her passage making range.

The full custom superyacht tender for S/Y Sea Eagle slipped carefully off her mould recently, marking an important benchmark in her construction. The Bakewell-White Yacht design 8.5m limousine tender is LSB’s 76th project. Utilising carbon fibre construction and finished to the highest level, she will be a very special tender when complete.
