| | | Dean Catamarans is owned and managed by the father and son team of Peter Dean Sr. and Peter Dean Jr. having produced, sailed and tested their own prototype sailing catamaran in 1980 and commencing production in 1984. Both love the sea and started sailing early in life (13 and 10 years old respectively), and collectively have 84 years ofsailing experience behind Dean Catamarans. This valuable experience was gained in the seas off South Africa, where wind speeds can vary from 10 knots to 60 knots in minutes and the sea state from glassy to wave heights of upto17 meters recorded. Accordingly, Dean Catamarans place a healthy emphasis on safety and seaworthiness for any yacht we design and build. | | |
