Essence 6

Tomas Jonas Janda is a talented architect-builder based in the Czech Republic. He did part of his qualification training at the Méridienne workshop with the architect-builder Denis Kergomard. The influence of this designer can still be felt in the creations of Jonas Catamarans. Tomas is also the co-architect of the magnificent all-carbon catamaran IC36, a reference for connoisseurs.
The essence 6 is a superb little multihull, very well built, fast, safe, a centerboarder of course… and removable – transportable. The boat can be seen in Austria (on its CE-approved road trailer). It mainly sails on Austrian lakes but has also made several cruises in Croatia. A magnificent achievement, the boat is also “habitable” in coastal camping.Essence 6
