A rare opportunity to acquire the newest Firefly 850, a renowned Mark Pescott one-design 8.5m sports racing catamaran, expertly built in 2016 by Taylor Composites. Known for blistering performance, ultra-light construction, and exhilarating handling, the Firefly 850 class is one of the most exciting multihull designs in Asia.
