FAST CATAMARAN 

WHY THE QUEST FOR SPEED?

Because it’s fun to sail fast. The thrill of speed is in our nature.

Because it’s exciting to read on your B&G 20/20 screen: Boat Speed 15.47kts TWS 17.9kts TWA 70°

Because it feels good to look over your shoulder, whilst accelerating away from your wake

Because, admit it, even when cruising, we all enjoy overtaking another yacht 10 boat-lengths to leeward….

Because it’s safer [Please read more in the SAFETY section].

 

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE HIGH PERFORMANCE ON A CATAMARAN?

The following points were carefully optimzied during the design process:

- Hull design and hydrodynamics. The hull & bow design stem from Renaud Bañuls’ experience in the design of dozens of hulls for racing multihulls, including the amas of America’s Cup winner BMW Oracle.

- High bridge-deck clearance

- Controlled center of gravity - by placing all heavy systems around the mast to reduce pitching

- Aerodynamics – low-profile aero dynamic shaped roof

- Construction material -high tech composites

- Construction technique 

- Obsessive weight control

- High Tech equipment Rig, Sails, Hardware (Lorima, Incidences, Harken, Karver)
