The world’s largest carbon-fiber sailing catamaran is looking for a new owner.

The 110-foot Mousetrap, once the pride and joy of Logitech co-founder Daniel Borel, has been listed for sale with Fraser with an asking price of roughly $19.2 million (€17.95 million).

The fully custom cat was penned by French naval architectural firm VPLP Design and delivered by French shipyard JFA Yachts in 2012. The multihull was purposefully designed and built to traverse the world, with innovative sailing technology such as hydraulic winches and an expansive gennaker enabling it to cruise in challenging conditions.

After completing a decade-long world voyage, Mousetrap underwent an extensive, multi-year refit from 2021 to 2023. The owner’s directive was to spare no expense to restore her to as-new condition, with a knowledgeable crew and a significant capital investment helping with the makeover. The revamp included new machinery, new sails, servicing of mast and rigging, new teak decks, fresh paint, and overall refinishing.

“With outstanding sailing performance, impressive dimensions, and ‘as new’ condition, Mousetrap stands out as the finest large sailing catamaran available today,” Fraser says.

Mousetrap has a large, open-plan layout that will appeal to modern seafarers, too. With an innovative carbon-fiber arch supporting the mast, the main salon is free of posts and bulkheads that might otherwise interrupt flow. She also has a wide 46-foot beam that results in a light, airy interior with 180-degree ocean views.

The aft deck spans the entire beam, creating a huge alfresco dining and lounging space. A large sliding door leads to the main salon, enabling seamless indoor and outdoor living. The main salon is divided into four sections that can be used for relaxation, dining, working, and more. The space features an elegant desk, a large central bar, a giant wraparound sofa, and a formal dining table for fancy dinner parties. The salon extends to the foredeck where guests will find a custom six-person Jacuzzi, a plush lounge, and a concealed ladder for easy water access.

As for accommodation, Mousetrap can sleep up to nine guests across four staterooms. All have en suites, lofty ceilings, large portlights, and high-tech audiovisual systems. We would expect nothing less from a millionaire tech mogul.
