Designed by New Zealand designer Gary Lidgard, the Fusion 40 pairs the space and stability of a multihull with an engaging sailing character. This 2009 example, New Tricks, brings that balance to life across a generous 7.3-metre beam.

Her saloon, galley and cockpit form one welcoming living area, with indoor-outdoor flow that makes it easy to enjoy life aboard. Below, the owner’s-version layout provides three cabins across the two hulls: two forward queen cabins and an aft double. Light-oak trim, custom timber flooring and individual touches give the interior a distinctive, carefully considered feel.

New Tricks is a particularly appealing example, thoughtfully presented and well equipped for cruising.

• 570 W solar array and 630 Ah AGM house bank
• Raymarine Axiom 12 display and Quantum radar, installed in 2023
• Standing rigging renewed in 2023
• Mainsail, genoa and screecher
• Twin Yanmar 3YM30 diesels, serviced in September 2026
• Shallow-draft mini keels, with approximately 1.0–1.1 m draft
• 3.4 m tender with Suzuki 15 hp outboard

Recent work in September 2026 included servicing both engines; polishing the hulls and cabin tops; preparing the bottom and applying two coats of Vivid antifoul; and applying Propspeed to both saildrives and propellers.

New Tricks brings the space and comfort of a much larger catamaran together with easy handling and genuinely rewarding sailing.

The long-term lease of a catamaran berth at Tutukaka Marina may also be available with New Tricks, at additional cost. Please enquire for further details.
