T/T Skorpios is Catalyst number 19 – Salthouse built 18, starting with the original high-performance chase boats for Emirates Team New Zealand’s 2013 Louis Vuitton and America’s Cup campaigns. T/T Skorpios is the 67th custom-build for LSB.

From America’s Cup to Olympics and world ocean racing, Salthouse sailors, designers and boatbuilders have been there all the way through.

But boatbuilding is highly demanding work and with a growing family and work life balance to consider, Greg and wife Delayne made a strategic lifestyle decision to rescale and hone in on creating hand built coach boats and high performance tenders.
