During sea trials, the HH46-SC-12 demonstrated impressive speed, reaching approximately 8-9 knots in moderate cruising conditions and exceeding 10 knots in 16-18 knots of wind. One reviewer noted, “To be able to go 8 knots when everyone else is motoring is the best,” highlighting the vessel's exceptional sailing prowess.

Despite its performance-oriented design, HH46-SC-12 does not compromise on comfort. With features like reduced bridge-deck slap, stable motion offshore, and spacious living areas, this catamaran offers a true cruising experience.
