Cormate Chase 35 – Available To Order

Chase 35 has received a completely newly developed Mk2 hull and has been extended by a foot. The new construction provides higher efficiency and better stability. The change now also gives the possibility to use Twin 565 hp High performance engines from Mercury Racing.

15 years ago our typical customers drove luxury sedans, now it’s very much changed towards more user friendly and sporty high-performance SUV’s, like Range Rover and Porsche Cayenne. However, we couldn’t find any equivalence when it comes to boats. You can buy a fast ocean-going RIB, with excellent rough-sea capacity, or you can buy the comfort and quality feeling of a high-quality Day Cruiser.
​
Unfortunately, most customers find the high-performance alternative too basic and minimalistic for multipurpose family use. And most Day Cruiser simply doesn’t have the performance, rough sea capacity and sporty feeling some of these customers wants. Cormate wants to eliminate this dilemma by making a high-performance SUV for the water. A boat which combines the rough sea capacity, user-friendliness and speed from the best offshore RIB’s, and the comfort and luxury feeling of the high-quality Day Cruisers.

The Chase 35 hull is a development of our very advanced and efficient Monostep technology, However, the length/width ratio is inspired by the real ocean going offshore racers from the 60’ties and 70’ties. These tough races were dominated by Ray Hunt and Don Aronow hulls, before the races was moved to more shelter waters. These boats had 24-25 degrees deadrise and often a 4:1 length/width hull ratio. This ratio was an excellent compromise between the need of high speeds in flat and choppy waters, and a safe hull with enough hydrodynamic bow lift and buoyancy for the toughest ocean racing.

A 4:1 hull ratio is considered extreme by todays standard and few boats of Chase 35’s size have this high ratio. The downside is normally less usable cockpit volume, however the Chase 35 has very clever usage of each cm of width, and the interior cockpit volume is comparable or even better than many competitors of the same size.

The external width is 255 cm (263 cm with heavy duty rub rail). The makes the Chase 35 easily trailable and even transportable in an open sided container. The narrow beam and the use of; vinylester, unidirectional fiberglass, high quality core materials and infusion technology, makes the boat extremely rigid, strong and light. The rigid and compact hull, the 24,5 degrees deadrise and the 4:1 hull ratio make the Chase 35 cut through big waves in an extremely soft way, without the discomfort of slamming. The reverse rake windshield gives better wind and weather protection, especially when driving half standing in the offshore seats. It also gives more cockpit volume, reduces disturbing reflections with better visibility in rain. All these construction parameters make this boat very suitable as a Chase boat for the Superyacht market.

Standard equipment includes; 2 x 12″ Simrad chart plotter/echo sounder, inside and outside shower, integrated carbon toilet, automatic tap, harbor covers, electric windlass and bow thruster. Also standard is a wet-bar/galley “island” with sink, 70 L drawer refrigerator and Wallas double ceramic stove. To save weight it’s no separate water heater, but electronically controlled/selected water temperature.

The Chase 35 can also be delivered with; 100 W solar panel (no need for cable charging), digital antifouling system (can be driven by solar panel), joystick maneuvering with sky hook (on twin engine boats), full or half canopy/sprayhood and bimini top.
