Designed by the renowned naval architecture firm Maclear & Harris and first launched in 1964, this compact catamaran represents an early example of production multihull sailing. Built by Duncan Sutphen Inc. in the United States, the Phantom features a twin daggerboard configuration that provides excellent shallow-water capability with its modest 2.18-foot draft. At just over 14 feet in length, this fiberglass catamaran delivers impressive performance thanks to its high sail area-to-displacement ratio of 45.15, making it notably fast and responsive in light to moderate winds. The fractional sloop rig offers good balance and control, while the 6.67-foot beam provides stability typical of multihull designs without excessive width for trailering. The Phantom excels as a day sailor and small boat racer, particularly suited for protected waters, lakes, and coastal sailing in favorable conditions. Its lightweight 350-pound displacement makes beach launching straightforward, while the catamaran configuration offers the excitement of multihull sailing without the complexity of larger designs. This boat appeals to sailors seeking performance-oriented fun sailing and those interested in experiencing classic 1960s catamaran design, though its compact size limits extended cruising capabilities.
