Description
Paradigm Shift â 2011 St. Francis 50 | Founder-Built | 4-Cabin Bluewater Catamaran
Paradigm Shift is a beautifully maintained, superbly equipped example of one of the most respected bluewater cruising catamarans ever builtâwith the rare distinction of being originally built for Duncan Lethbridge, founder of St. Francis Marine.
One of the final hand-laid St. Francis 50 hulls built with Corecell foam, offering a more resin-rich laminate and the solid, proven feel many offshore sailors prefer. Her pedigree is evident throughout, reflecting a higher level of build quality, fit, and finish than typically found in production vessels of this size.
Following her original ownership, Paradigm Shift is a 2 owner vessel and has operated successfully in the crewed charter market, benefiting from consistent professional maintenance, regular system use, and ongoing upgrades. She presents today as a turnkey platform for private cruising or continued charter service.
