Morrelli Gunboat 60 Catamaran
Description
The Morrelli 60 typically refers to the Gunboat 60 (a high-performance luxury catamaran) or custom 60-foot multihull projects from the design firm Morrelli & Melvin Design & Engineering Inc. (M&M), co-founded by Gino Morrelli and Pete Melvin. M&M are renowned for world-class multihull designs, including racing cats (e.g., NACRA 17 Olympic class), superyacht cats (Gunboat series), and performance cruisers like the HH Catamarans line. No single production "Morrelli 60" model exists, but the firm has influenced several 60-foot cats and tris (e.g., the Rapido 60 trimaran is a Morrelli & Melvin design, though it's a trimaran, not a catamaran; a 60-foot Morrelli-co-designed cat was used in the 1988 America's Cup defense by Dennis Conner as Stars & Stripes, and custom 60-foot surf charter cats like "Lohe Lani" appear in listings). The Gunboat 60 (designed by Morrelli & Melvin) is the closest match as a production catamaran in that size range.
