Brand: Broadblue 385

The Broadblue 385 catamaran is a well designed, well maintained Luxury catamaran. They were designed to be a fast, responsive, coastal or blue water cruiser and have rapidly gained a reputation as a first class world cruising catamaran for short handed sailing. Designed to sail well on all points of sailing, even loaded for cruising, and in particular, will sail close winded and tack quickly.

These boats meet the highest European Union boatbuilding standard, which can be seen in its six flotation compartments and aluminum-framed glass windows. Both one-piece hull and deck mouldings are hand laid glassfibre, using powder – bound mat, biaxial clothes, woven rovings, isopthalic resin. Below the waterline, the hulls are solid laminate,.5 to 1.25 inches thick, with Kevlar reinforcing in high-load areas, while the topsides and deck incorporate closed cell structural foam (post 2007). The deck has an integrally moulded non – slip finish.

Rudders are skeg hung on stainless steel stocks with self-lubricating bearings. The steering system is hydraulic with the rudders linked together with a cross-link beam. The hydraulic arm is attached direct to the rudder shaft. The port rudder has an access cover above and is designed to accept an emergency tiller. The hull and deck join is fully bonded and protected by a substantial rubbing strake. Many of the structural bulkheads are of vacuum bagged foam core, and when the interior furniture is fully bonded, in a light and stiff ‘honeycomb’ structure is created. The 385 is virtually unsinkable due to its watertight bulkheads and buoyancy compartments fore and aft. The keels are integrally moulded and sealed off from the hulls forming a double bottom.

The 385 is designed for the cruising couple who need more comfort and storage aboard. The galley and saloon are very spacious and contain handcrafted joinery. The striking bows, along with the specially designed bridgedeck, are the result of thirty years of design experience. This design allows the boat to sail over the waves with less water over the bow creating a dry, smooth, seakindly ride with sparkling sailing performance.

Broadblue 385

• By Dave Reed
• Updated: March 17, 2008

Turning onto a beam reach, I nudge the wheel, and Robert Underwood of Broadblue Catamarans winches up the traveler; there’s a sudden but gentle sense of acceleration. With a scant 7 knots of wind at the masthead, the cat settles in at 7 on the speedo as well and quietly glides across England’s Solent. It’s an idyllic afternoon, and in a daydream state, I envision my next landfall, somewhere in the Bahamas. If not for Robert’s prompt to tack-to prove how easily his boat tacks-I might’ve ended up there. Now the helm goes over, the headsail slaps across, and the Broadblue 385 settles on the other tack without fuss. The apparent wind has swung from 40 to 40. Not bad at all for a cruising cat.

Such nimble light-air performance is probably due in equal parts to the 385’s efficient hull profile and its unusual Aft Rig, a unique sail plan that steps the mast at the main bulkhead. (See the drawing.) The Aft Rig mainsail is only 304 square feet, while the genoa, at 534, really pulls the bows across the wind. This rig is ideal for coastal cruising and daysailing, especially when shorthanded. The full-battened Sport Rig, with its large-roach main, offers more horsepower and may be faster for passagemaking.

Peter Thompson, a 45-year-old dentist from Lancashire, England, expects to log more than 8,000 miles this year on his 385 Aft Rig. “For family sailing, the small main is great,” he says. “It’s easier to handle and you don’t have to reef as soon.” If he were to do it again, however, he says he’d choose the Sport Rig for its upwind performance. To bolster his inventory for the 2008 Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, he’s added a spinnaker.

In a multihull world populated with cats designed for charter fleets, Broadblue touts its line of boats as “true bluewater cruisers” and builds to Category A (Oceangoing) standards in the European Union. Below the waterline, the hulls are solid glass reinforced with Kevlar in loaded areas. Above the waterline, hulls and deck are balsa-cored laminates with marine-grade-plywood reinforcement at hardware locations. Other offshore-enabling attributes include five bulkheads, flotation compartments, and hardened glass windows set in aluminum frames. The 385 we sailed had a three-cabin layout, with a large shower/head forward in the starboard hull and a smaller walk-through head/shower to port. The alternative, twin-stateroom layout offers two double-berth cabins and two pilot berths. Our test boat featured an office area amidships in the port hull; our sea-going dentist says that he and his two daughters use it a lot at sea.

In the saloon, there’s a generous U-shaped dinette, full galley, and nav station. The galley may leave one wanting for counter space, but the layout does add to the open, airy feel of the 385’s common area. Our test boat had been extensively cruised, and even with cruising cargo, it felt lively enough. But after only a light-air test sail, I asked Peter Thompson to provide a description of sailing in more memorable conditions: “I was with my wife, going around Land’s End at about 2 in the morning,” he said, “and it was blowing Force 8. She turned to me and asked, ‘Are you happy?’ I said, ‘I’m happy as hell.’ And she said, ‘That’s a good answer.’ But from a more pleasant point of view, the best time so far was our four-day passage to Lanzarote, in the Canary Islands, with the kids. Just walking around the boat and enjoying being at sea.”

Dave Reed is the editor of Sailing World, CW’s sister publication.

The Broadblue 385 was designed for couples who want to cruise offshore and in the often-atrocious weather around Britain. It meets the highest European Union boatbuilding standard, which can be seen in its six floatation compartments and aluminum-framed glass windows. It’s not a heavy design, but because it’s meant to carry full provisions without a significant drop in performance, it’s no racer either. Unfortunately, my test sail in light winds proved little on this score.

The hulls have a relatively fine entry but plenty of reserve buoyancy. Unlike many competitors, the Broadblue has a long bridgedeck that creates extra stowage space beneath. It has 30 inches of clearance forward, but it appeared to be more prone to slamming than a boat with a trampoline forward.

The hull’s are Polish-built and finished in the United Kingdom. They’re solid glass, .5 to 1.25 inches thick below the waterline, with Kevlar reinforcing in high-load areas. Elsewhere, the hulls are cored with end-grain balsa, as are the decks. The skeg-hung rudders are the same depth as the keels, which allows the boat to be beached for maintenance, thus avoiding the hassle of finding a yard that can haul a cat, which can sometimes prove difficult in foreign ports. The keels are integrally molded with the hull and sealed off, making them the first defense against damage should the boat be accidentally grounded. They’re each fitted with a stainless-steel shoe, making damage less likely.

On deck, the cockpit’s comfortable, as you’d expect on a catamaran, with a raised helm seat on the port side that offers good visibility and easy access to sail and engine controls. Our test boat had the optional fiberglass bimini top, which has Visquine (plastic) windows forward that roll up when the crew want air. Going forward, the decks are wide and clear of obstacles. There’s a centerline step in the front of the house that makes getting to the cabin top easy. The foredeck extends most of the way to the bows and provides storage and a platform for the centerline anchor and windlass.

Two rig configurations are available: The Sport Rig, with the mast at the forward end of the house, features small headsails and a big, roachy main for drive; the Aft Rig positions the mast at the aft end of the house and uses bigger jibs with a much smaller high-aspect main.

Belowdecks on the Broadblue, it’s obvious that this cat’s designed for extended cruising because there’s a ton of storage space. In the configuration of the boat I sailed, both hulls have a spacious aft cabin with large hanging lockers. In the port hull is a desk and chair at the foot of the steps from the saloon; forward is a large head with a separate walk-in shower. On the starboard side, instead of the desk, there’s a huge extra refrigerator/freezer; forward is a head with an integral shower, and in place of the stall shower is room for a workbench and tools. A three-cabin layout with two doubles in the starboard side is also available.

The saloon is comfortable and airy, with a workable, attractive galley and seating for six around the dinette; a small nav station with a swing-out stool is aft to port.

In the wind in which I sailed the boat, it seemed a bit undercanvased, but in such conditions most cruisers would be running the 20-horsepower Volvos. On this boat, equipped with saildrives, the engines ran relatively quietly.

The Broadblue 385 will suit sailors who place higher priority on seakeeping properties and ability to carry stores for extended, comfortable cruising than on exciting performance and fast passages.

We take pride in our happy customers

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb

I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.

Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.

— Beverly Cory

Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.

I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.

— Eric Boutiette

Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.

Broadblue 385

Broadblue 385 is a 38 ′ 8 ″ / 11.8 m catamaran sailboat designed by Simon Davidson and Robert Underwood and built by Broadblue Catamarans starting in 2005.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
