12 April 2016 - Newsletter - A New Builder - Rolex China Sea Race

INTERNATIONAL MULTIHULL BOAT SHOW IN FRANCE
Bañulsdesign will have a booth at the International Multihull Boat Show in La Grande Motte 13-17 April. Look for us on the pontoon P, same spot as the previous years.

A NEW BUILDER
Bañulsdesign has teamed up with Alibi to build its range of semi-custom high-performance catamarans.

Previously commercialized under the name MC²53, MC²60 and MC²78, the Bañuls catamarans represent the top end of the performance cruising catamarans.

Loic Goepfert, CEO of Alibi comments: After building five Alibi 54 and one Alibi 65, we felt that we were ready for the next step and set up to build custom one-off boats. The range of Bañuls catamarans fits in that objective and does not compete with our existing offer of Alibi 54 and Alibi 65 since the Bañuls designs push the envelop even further than we do in terms of performance.

Renaud Bañuls, the architect of the luxury catamarans adds: “Many catamarans builders claim to offer performance but few sustain scrutiny to that claim. Alibi had constant improvements all along its 8-years existence, to reach maturity in building truly high performance catamarans. We feel confident that they have the full capacity to deliver the high level of quality and the lightweight we expect for our designs at a competitive price.

A CRUISING CATAMARAN FASTER THAN TP52s
Back in October 2013 the Bañuls 60 #1 Mach² finished 2nd over the line in the 656 miles Hong Kong to Vietnam Race behind Ragamuffin 90 skippered by Syd Fisher with around 20 professional sailors on board. Mach² raced with only 6 crew.

The MC²60 finished ahead of the three TP52, the other 90ft monohull Chivas and a fleet of racing 40ft monohulls. Some might have wondered if this result could be attributed to beginner's luck. Mach² has done it again.

The cruising catamaran just finished second over the line in the 580 miles 2016 Rolex China Sea Race from Hong Kong to the Philippines after leading for most of the race.

Raphaël Blot, owner of Mach² comments : "This was a very frustrating result but a great testimony to the potential of the boat. We led for most of the race and had a 27 miles lead with 45 miles to the finish. We were in line to break the race record until we managed to park the boat sailing at 0.5-1kts while the Reichel Pugh 66 sailed past us 10 miles offshore at 10-12kts. We still finished ahead of the TP52s, the Humpfreys 54 and the Swan 82. The Bañuls 60 is not a racing cat that goes cruising but a cruising cat that goes racing and finishes ahead of the pack. It's great to be able to cruise the next day after the race in comfort with air conditioning and all the necessary cruising amenities with the exact same boat without having to spend days switching from racing mode to cruising mode. We had all the cruising gear on board for the race (stand up paddles, dinghy, outboard engine, diving gear, etc.. ) and still were faster than the stripped out monohulls.

Meanwhile, the Bañuls 60 #2 Dragon is docked in Langkawi before being shipped to Italy by her new owner who will sail the boat in the Med.

20th Dec 2013 - Newsletter #5 - The MC²60 #1 Mach² in the Hong Kong - Vietnam Race

A CRUISING CATAMARAN FASTER THAN TP52s

The MC²60 #1 Mach² recently finished 2nd over the line in the 656 miles Hong Kong to Vietnam Race behind Ragamuffin 90 skippered by Syd Fisher with around 20 professional sailors on board. Mach² raced with only 6 crew: Renaud Bañuls the MC²60's architect, Incidence's Cesar Dohy who designed the sails, Bruno Laurent who commissioned the boat, Raphaël Blot, the owner and responsible for the development of the MC² catamaran series and two of his regular racing crew from his monohull days.

The MC²60 finished ahead of the three TP52, the other 90ft monohull Chivas and a fleet of racing 40ft monohulls. The first TP52 was US based Lucky which finished 8th overall in the Transpac 2013. The other two TPs, OneSails Racing and FreeFire are regulars of the Asian racing circuit who, between themselves, have won almost every single regatta in Asia.

Mach² sailed the 656 miles in 49h30mns.

Before the race, not many expected a cruising catamaran to finish ahead of the TP52s in a downhill race.

In Nha Trang, many crews were thrilled by the speed reached during the downwind sail but complained about how wet of a ride it was, bailing water out of the boats all the way down with automatic life jackets activating inside the boats and being regularly showered on by seawater crashing on the deck. In response, Raphaël Blot commented : "The only time we were showered on was when we took proper showers….We didn't put the foul weather gear on, shorts and T-shirts only. We hear that the guys on the monohulls had a rough time; we had good food and red wine at 20-25kts. We very briefly reached top speeds above 30kts a couple of times".

The concept behind the MC²60 announced 2.5 years ago was to achieve an all round sailing performance similar to that of a TP52 in a cruising catamaran capable of accommodating up to 10 guests for a comfortable cruise. "I guess we have just shown that the concept works" commented Renaud Bañuls. "Not only does the boat perform better than my own expectations, it is very easy to handle, feels safe and reaches high speed effortlessly. More impressive than the top speed was the fact that we sailed for hours under main sail and genaker at 20-28kts without pushing the boat hard".

Raphaël Blot concluded : "I am very pleased with the result. We had so far enjoyed the boat for friends and family cruising. It's quite amazing to have a boat that you can sail solo handed when non-sailors are on board and then race competitively offshore the next week. Finishing ahead of the TP52s in a downhill race at 150 TWA is quite an achievement as catamarans have an advantage over monohulls mainly when reaching. This results validates the concept and confirms that we made the right decisions over the past 3 years, leading to a cruising catamaran that is faster than stripped out racing monohulls".

Meanwhile, the MC²60 #2 Dragon is moored in Hong Kong, getting ready for a cruise in South East Asia.

Dragon and Mach² have the same interior layout but different color schemes. The semi-custom concept of the MC²60 resulted in different boat lengths and cockpit layout. Dragon is 2ft longer on the transom and carries a 3ft longer longeron in order to fly a larger mast head gennaker. While Mach² has a cockpit designed for single handed operations, Dragon has a more racing oriented cockpit with winches spread out along the aft beam.

REDEFINING SPEED, LUXURY AND ELEGANCE - Mona Vale, NSW Australia, 05th April 2011.

McConaghy, the Australian boatbuilder, has teamed up with racing multihull specialist Bañuls Design to launch a new range of semi-custom high-performance catamarans that will set new standards of build quality, luxury and performance.

Named MC² (referring to McConaghy Catamarans and the two hulls), the range will start with the MC²60, which represents the next generation of composite, high-performance luxury catamarans.

Mc Conaghy, a custom yachts specialist, is behind some of the world’s fastest and most successful racing yachts (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).
The designer, Renaud Bañuls, gained his experience in multihull design during his 10 years career at VPLP where he was instrumental in the design of the America’s Cup winner BMW Oracle and the Maxi trimaran Banque Populaire V.

Hull #1 of this speed catamaran will be delivered in September 2012, redefining speed as the real luxury on a sailing catamaran.

Raphaël Blot, Manager of the new luxury catamaran range comments: 'The term "high-performance catamaran" is frequently overused. Many supposedly fast sailing catamarans are in reality too heavy to sail fast, as weight is the enemy onboard a multihull. They reach double-digit speed in quite specific conditions - such as 20 knots of wind on the beam - but beyond this are otherwise quite slow. At just nine tons displacement the MC²60 is substantially lighter than existing 55-60 ft cruising catamarans, which means the MC²60 will be a fast catamaran even in light wind conditions and upwind.'

The MC²60 is NOT a stripped out racer. Displaying an open space minimalist design without sacrificing comfort, the MC²60 is a luxury cat that offers four cabins in its standard design, and to accommodate individual needs this innovative fast cruising catamaran is offered on a semi-custom basis.

This fast cat has been designed to be easily sailed shorthanded and maintained without a full time crew, yet is large enough for comfortable day sailing and extended cruising.

By applying the most innovative race-inspired design, engineering and building techniques to high-tech composites, McConaghy delivers a top-end boat that embodies the cutting edge of performance. The MC²60 sets new standards in construction, speed, luxury and design. With its sleek shape and race-inspired reverse bows, this ultimate catamaran oozes elegance.

The MC²60. Outclassing all its competition - redefining speed, luxury and elegance.

The MC²60 will be presented simultaneously at the international multihull boatshow in La Grande Motte – France and the China (Shanghai) International Boat Show on 14-17^th April 2011.

RIDEFINIZIONE DI VELOCITÀ, LUSSO ED ELEGANZA

Mc Conaghy, il cantiere nautico australiano, si allea con Banuls Design, specialista dei natanti multiscafo, per lanciare una nuova gamma di catamarani a vela ad alte prestazioni semi-personalizzati, destinata a definire nuovi standard.

Chiamata MC² (un gioco di parole su Mc Conaghy Catamarans, che fa anche riferimento ai due scafi), la gamma inizierà con l'MC²60 che rappresenta la nuova generazione di catamarani di lusso ad alte prestazioni.

McConaghy, specializzato negli yacht su misura, è l'autore di alcuni degli yacht da corsa più veloci e di maggior successo al mondo (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

Il progettista, Renaud Banuls, ha accumulato esperienza nella progettazione di multiscafi durante i suoi 10 anni di carriera alla VPLP, dove è stato determinante nella progettazione del vincitore della Coppa America BMW Oracle e del maxi trimarano Banque Populaire V.

La costruzione dello scafo n. 1 di questo veloce catamarano avrà inizio nel mese di giugno 2011, per essere poi consegnato a settembre 2012.

E se fosse la velocità il vero lusso su un catamarano a vela?

Raphael Blot, responsabile della nuova gamma di catamarani di lusso, si esprime così: "Il termine "catamarano ad alte prestazioni" è spesso abusato. Molti catamarani a vela presumibilmente veloci sono in realtà troppo pesanti per poter navigare veloci, essendo il peso il nemico principale per un natante multiscafo. Raggiungono velocità a due cifre in condizioni molto particolari, come 20 nodi al traverso, ma sono per il resto piuttosto lenti. Con un dislocamento leggero di 9 tonnellate, l’MC²60 è notevolmente più leggero rispetto agli altri catamarani da crociera da 16,7-18,3 m, e sarà un veloce catamarano a vela anche in condizioni di vento leggero e controvento".

L'MC²60 NON è un natante da corsa super-aerodinamico. Presentando un design minimalista dagli spazi aperti, senza sacrificare il comfort, l'MC²60 è un catamarano di lusso con quattro cabine nella sua versione standard.

Al fine di soddisfare le esigenze dei singoli, questo innovativo catamarano veloce da crociera viene proposto in una formula semipersonalizzata.

Questo catamarano veloce è stato progettato per essere facilmente governato e manutenuto senza un equipaggio a tempo pieno, ed essere al tempo stesso sufficientemente ampio per una navigazione comoda.

Con l'applicazione delle più innovative tecniche di design e di costruzione ispirate alle competizioni e il ricorso a materiali compositi di alta tecnologia, McConaghy propone un natante di fascia alta che incarna il massimo delle prestazioni. L'MC²60 definisce nuovi standard in termini di velocità, lusso ed eleganza. Con la sua forma affusolata e le prue rovesce ispirate alle corse, questa somma espressione di catamarano trasuda eleganza.

Questo spiega il motto dell'MC²60: Ridefinizione di velocità, lusso ed eleganza

NOPEUS, YLELLISYYS JA TYYLIKKYYS UUSIKSI

Mc Conaghy, australialainen veneenrakentaja on ryhtynyt yhteistyöhön monirunkoisiin kilpaveneisiin erikoistuneen Banuls Designin kanssa tuodakseen markkinoille uuden sarjan puolitilaustyönä tehtyjä huippunopeita katamaraaneja, jotka asettavat veneille uudet standardit.

Venesarjalle on annettu nimeksi MC² (mikä viittaa rakentajaan Mc Conaghy Catamarans ja veneiden kahteen runkoon). Sarjan ensimmäinen vene on MC²60, joka edustaa ylellisten huippunopeiden katamaraanien seuraavaa sukupolvea.

Mc Conaghy, joka on erikoistunut tilaustyönä tehtyihin veneisiin, on rakentanut monia maailman nopeimmista ja parhaiten menestyneistä kilpaveneistä (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

Venesuunnittelija Renaud Banuls on saavuttanut kokemusta monirunkoisten veneiden suunnittelussa kymmenvuotisen uransa aikana VPLP:llä, missä hänellä oli ratkaiseva osuus Amerikan Cupin voittajaveneen, BMW Oraclen, ja maksitrimaraanin, Banque Populaire V:n, suunnittelussa.

Tämän erittäin nopean katamaraanin rungon #1 rakentaminen aloitetaan vuoden 2011 kesäkuussa ja veneen on tarkoitus valmistua vuoden 2012 syyskuussa.

Entä jos nopeus onkin katamaraanipurjeveneen todellinen ylellisyys?

Raphaël Blot, uuden ylellisen katamaraanivenesarjan johtaja, sanoo: “Katamaraaneja luonnehditaan termillä “huippunopea” liian usein. Monet katamaraanipurjeveneet, joiden odotetaan kulkevan suurella nopeudella, ovat itse asiassa liian raskaita siihen. Veneen paino onkin monirunkoisten pahin vihollinen. Ne pystyvät kaksinumeroiseen nopeuteen erityisen suotuisissa olosuhteissa, esimerkiksi 20 solmun sivutuulessa, mutta muuten ne ovat melko hitaita. MC² 60 on ratkaisevasti kevyempi kuin muut 16 - 18 metrin risteilykatamaraanit sen 9 tonnin lastittoman syväyksen johdosta, ja tästä syystä se tulee olemaan nopea katamaraani, jopa kevyessä tai vastatuulessa”.

MC²60-katamaraani EI ole kaikesta riisuttu kilpavene. Veneen avoin tila on minimalistinen suunnittelultaan, mutta ei suinkaan mukavuuden kustannuksella. MC² 60 on ylellinen katamaraani, jonka perusmalliin sisältyy neljä hyttiä.

Purjehtijan yksilöllisten tarpeiden tyydyttämiseksi tämä innovatiivinen, nopealiikkeinen risteilykatamaraani on myytävänä puolitilaustyönä.

Tämä suurinopeuksinen katamaraani on suunniteltu siten, että sillä voidaan helposti purjehtia pienilukuisella miehistöllä, eikä sen ylläpitämiseen tarvita täyspäiväistä miehistöä. Tästä huolimatta se on riittävän suuri pitämään purjehduskokemuksen mukavana.

Soveltamalla erittäin innovatiivisia ja kilpapurjehduksen inspiroimia suunnitteluratkaisuja ja rakennustekniikkaa sekä teknisesti pitkälle kehitettyjä materiaaleja McConaghy tuo nyt markkinoille laatuluokan veneen, jolle ominaista on kehityksen kärjessä oleva suorituskyky. MC²60 asettaa uudet vaatimukset nopeudelle, ylellisyydelle ja tyylikkyydelle. Tämä upea katamaraani on ennen muuta tyylikäs linjakkuutensa ja kilpaveneiden inspiroiman keulamuotoilunsa johdosta.

Juuri näihin ominaisuuksiin perustuu MC²60-veneiden motto: Nopeus, ylellisyys ja tyylikkyys uusiksi

FART, LUKSUS OG ELEGANCE - EN NY DIMENSION

Mc Conaghy, den australske bådebygger, går sammen med specialisten inden for multihulls kapsejlads, Banuls Design, for at lancere en ny serie af semi-personaliserede high performance katamaraner, som kommer til at sætte nye standarder.

Kaldet MC² (en sammentrækning af McConaghy katamaraner og som henviser til to skrog), udvalget starter med MC²60'eren, der repræsenterer den næste generation af high performance luksus katamaraner.

McConaghy, specialist inden for personaliserede yachts , står bag nogle af verdens hurtigste og mest succesfulde kapsejlads yachts (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

Designeren Renaud Bañuls, opbyggede sin erfaring med multihulls design gennem hans 10 års karriere hos VPLP (Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost, fransk verdensleder inden for yacht design), hvor han havde en afgørende rolle for designet af America's Cup vinder BMW Oracle og maxi-trimaranen Banque Populaire V.

Bygningen af det første skrog i denne hurtig-katamaran starter i juni 2011, og katamaranen lanceres i september 2012.

Hvad hvis fart var en reel luksus på en navigerende katamaran?

Raphaël Blot, leder af den nye serie af luksus katamaraner udtaler: "Udtrykket 'high performance katamaran' misbruges ofte. Mange såkaldte hurtigtsejlende katamaraner er i virkeligheden for tunge til at sejle hurtigt, eftersom den værste fjende for multihulls er vægten. De når kun tocifrede hastigheder under meget særlige betingelser, som feks. 20 knobs vind i sejlet, men er ellers relativt langsomme. Med et deplacement (vægt) på kun 9 tons, er MC²60'eren betydeligt lettere end de øvrige 55-60 ft cruising katamaraner, og er en hurtig-katamaran selv med svage vindforhold og modvind".

MC²60'eren er IKKE en kapsejladsbåd man kan lægge bag sig. Selvom den udadtil viser et minimalistisk open space design, uden at gå på kompromis med komforten, er MC²60'eren en luksuskatamaran der tilbyder fire hytter i sit standard design.

For at opfylde individuelle behov, tilbydes denne innovative hurtigtsejlende katamaran i en semi-personaliseret version.

Denne hurtig-katamaran er designet til at være let at sejle underbemandet og til at kunne vedligeholdes uden et fuldtidsteam, men stor nok til en komfortabel sejlads.

Ved at anvende de mest innovative, kapsejlads-inspirerede design- og konstruktionsteknikker med high-tech materialer, leverer McConaghy en topmoderne båd som når ydergrænserne af performance. MC²60'eren sætter nye normer for fart, luksus og elegance. Med sin elegante form og bevægelse, inspireret af omvendte buer, oser denne ultimative katamaran af elegance.

Dette forklarer MC²60'erens devise: Fart, luksus og elegance - en ny dimension

EEN NIEUWE DEFINITIE VAN SNELHEID, LUXE EN ELEGANTIE

McConaghy, de Australische botenfabrikant, werkt samen met de specialist in multiromp raceboten Banuls Design voor de lancering van een nieuwe reeks van gedeeltelijk op maat te maken high performance catamarans die een nieuw tijdperk aankondigen.

Met de naam MC² (MC staat voor McConaghy Catamarans en het cijfer 2 verwijst naar de 2 rompen), zal de reeks beginnen met de MC²60, die een nieuw generatie van high performance luxe catamarans vertegenwoordigt.

McConaghy, specialist in op maat gemaakte jachten, is de naam achter sommige van de snelste en meest succesvolle racejachten (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

De ontwerper, Renaud Bañuls, heeft zijn ervaring in het ontwerpen van multirompen opgedaan tijdens zijn 10-jarige carriѐre bij VPLP waar hij meewerkte aan het ontwerp van de BMW Oracle, de winnaar van de America’s Cup, en de maxitrimaran Banque Populaire V.

De bouw van de eerste romp van deze snelle catamaran zal beginnen in juni 2011 voor aflevering in september 2012.

Wat als snelheid echte luxe was voor een catamaran zeilboot?

Raphaël Blot, manager van de nieuwe, luxe catamaranreeks licht dit toe: “De term ‘High Performance Catamaran’ wordt vaak verkeerd gebruikt. Vele zogenaamd snelle catamaran zeilboten zijn in feite te zwaar om snel te gaan, aangezien gewicht de vijand is van een multiromp. Ze bereiken een hoge snelheid in zeer specifieke omstandigheden zoals 20 knopen en dwars wind, maar zijn in andere omstandigheden nogal langzaam. Met een 9 ton licht gewicht is de MC² 60 opmerkelijk lichter dan andere cruising catamarans van 17/18 meter en daarom zal het een snelle catamaran zijn, zelfs in omstandigheden van zwakke wind en tegen de wind in”.

De MC²60 is NIET een pure racer. Met een minimalistisch design en open ruimte, zonder het comfort te vergeten, is de MC²60 een luxe catamaran met 4 kajuiten in het standaard ontwerp.

Om aan het individuele comfort te kunnen voldoen is deze snelle, vernieuwende cruising catamaran gedeeltelijk op maat te maken.

Deze snelle catamaran is ontworpen om makkelijk te kunnen zeilen met weinig bemanning en goed te onderhouden zonder een fulltime bemanning, maar is tegelijkertijd groot genoeg om op een comfortabele manier te zeilen.

Door de meest vernieuwende en op races geїnspireerde design- en bouwtechnieken toe te passen met high-tech materialen, levert McConaghy een topboot die een uitdrukking is van de allerhoogste prestaties. Met de MC²60 begint een nieuw tijdperk van snelheid, luxe en elegantie. Met zijn strakke vorm en op races geїnspireerde omgekeerde boegen is deze catamaran het summum van elegantie.

Vandaar het motto van de MC²60: een nieuwe definitie van snelheid, luxe en elegantie.

NY DEFINISJON PÅ FART, LUKSUS OG ELEGANSE

Det australske båtbyggerverftet Mc Conaghy slår seg sammen med spesialisten innen flerskrogsregattaer, Banuls Design, for å lansere en ny serie delvis brukerspesifiserte og høytytende seilkatamaraner som kommer til å sette nye standarder.

Serien heter MC² (et spill med McConaghy Catamarans og med henvisning til de to skrogene), og først ut er MC²60, som representerer neste generasjons høytytende luksuskatamaraner.

McConaghy, spesialisten innen skreddersydde yachter, står bak noen av verdens raskeste og mest fremgangsrike regattayachter (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

Designeren Renaud Bañuls høstet sin erfaring innen flerskrogdesign i løpet av hans 10 år lange karriere hos VPLP, hvor han bidro med designen til America’s Cup vinneren BMW Oracle og Banque Populaire Vs maxitrimaran.

Byggingen av skrog #1 på denne luksuskatamaranen starter i juni 2011 med levering i september 2012.

Hva hvis det var farten som utgjorde den egentlige luksus ved en seilkatamaran?

Raphael Blot er sjef for den nye serien regattakatamaraner og kommenterer: “Termen ‘Høytytende Katamaran’ er ofte overbrukt. Mange antatte raskt seilende katamaraner er faktisk for tunge. De når tosifret hastighet under svært spesielle forhold som for eksempel 20 knop på tvers, men ellers er de ganske saktegående. Ved 9 tonns lett deplasement, er MC² 60-katamaranen betraktelig lettere enn de andre 55-60 fots katamaranene, og vil være en raskt seilende katamaran selv med svak vind og motvind”.

Dette betyr ikke at MC²60-katamaranen er en nedrigget racerbåt. MC² 60 er en luksuskatamaran med open space minimalistdesign uten å gi avkall på komfort, med dens fire doble lugarer i standarddesign.

For å tilfredsstille individuelle behov tilbys denne innovative, raske cruisekatamaranen på delvis skreddersydd basis.

Denne raske katamaranen er utviklet for enkel shorthandedseiling, samt vedlikehold uten fulltidsmannskap. Ikke desto mindre er den tilstrekkelig stor til behagelig seilas.

Ved å anvende den mest innovative og regattainspirerte designen sammen med high-tech kompositter, leverer McConaghy en top-end spissprestasjonsbåt. MC²60-katamaranen setter nye standarder innen hastighet, luksus og eleganse. Med dens raffinerte form og den regattainspirerte omvendte baugen, flyter denne topp standard katamaranen over av eleganse.

Dette forklarer MC²60-katamaranens motto: Ny definisjon på fart, luksus og eleganse

EINE NEUE DEFINITION VON GESCHWINDIGKEIT, LUXUS UND ELEGANZ

Der australische Bootsbauer McConaghy tut sich mit dem Mehrrumpfrennboot-Spezialisten Bañuls Design zusammen, um eine neue Reihe von Semi-Custom Hochleistungskatamaranen auf den Markt zu bringen, die neue Standards setzen sollen.

Die MC²60-Katamarane, die ersten Boote der MC²-Reihe - dieser Name setzt sich aus der Marke McConaghy und dem Begriff Doppelrumpf zusammen-, verkörpern die Nachfolgegeneration der Hochleistungs-Luxus-Katamarane.

McConaghy hat sich auf nach Maß gebaute Yachten spezialisiert. Die Marke steht für die schnellsten und beliebtesten Yachten weltweit (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

Der Designer, Renaud Bañuls, arbeitete 10 Jahre lang für VPLP, wo er Mehrrumpfboote entwarf und sich am Design des BMW Oracle - dem Gewinner des America's Cup - und des Maxi Trimaran Banque Populaire V beteiligte.

Mit dem Bau des 1. Rumpfes dieses Speed-Katamarans soll im Juni 2011 begonnen werden. Die Lieferung ist für September 2012 geplant.

Was, wenn Geschwindigkeit der wahre Luxus eines Segelkatamarans wäre?Raphaël Blot, der Manager der neuen Luxus-Katamaran-Baureihe, kommentiert dies so: “Der Begriff "Hochleistungskatamaran" wird oft leichtfertig gebraucht. Viele Segelkatamarane werden ihrem Ruf als Geschwindigkeitsboote nicht gerecht, denn sie sind aufgrund ihrer Rümpfe zu schwer, um schnell voranzukommen. Zweistellige Geschwindigkeiten erreichen sie unter sehr spezifischen Bedingungen, wie z. B. bei einer Windgeschwindigkeit von 20 Knoten am Mittelrumpf; ansonsten sind sie jedoch eher langsam. Mit einer Nettoverdrängung von 9 Tonnen ist der Katamaran MC² 60 erheblich leichter als andere 15-18-m-Cruising-Katamarane und kann sogar bei schwachem Wind oder bei Gegenwind hohe Geschwindigkeiten erreichen“.

Der MC²60 ist KEIN purer Rennkatamaran. Dieses Luxus-Segelschiff verfügt über ein minimalistisches Open-Space-Design, das dem Komfort aber keinen Abbruch tut. Die vier Kajüten sind im Standard-Design gehalten.

Um individuellen Kundenwünschen entgegenzukommen, bietet McConaghy diesen neuartigen Cruising-Katamaran auf Semi-Custom-Basis an.

Dieser Speed-Katamaran wurde speziell für kleinere Crews konzipiert; er bietet jedoch genügend Raum für ein bequemes Segeln.

Durch die Verbindung von höchst innovativem, an Geschwindigkeit orientiertem Design, absolut neuartigen Bautechniken und High Tech-Verbundstoffen ist der MC²60 ein Spitzenkatamaran, dessen Potential alle Erwartungen übertrifft. Der MC²60 setzt neue Standards in den Bereichen Geschwindigkeit, Luxus und Eleganz. Mit seiner schnittigen Form und den Achtersteven strahlt dieser ultimative Katamaran Eleganz aus.

Daher lautet das Motto des MC²60: Eine neue Definition von Geschwindigkeit, Luxus und Eleganz.

СОЗДАВАТЬ НОВЫЕ СТАНДАРТЫ СКОРОСТИ, ЛЮКСА И ИЗЫСКАННОСТИ

Австралийская кораблестроительная фирма Mc Conaghy совместно с фирмой Banuls Design, специализирующейся в создании гоночных многокорпусных судов, запустила выпуск нового класса полузаказных высокосовершенных парусных катамаранов, которые явятся основой для создания нового типа стандартов в этой области.

Производство этого нового класса судов, получившего название MC² (игра символов, обозначающих Mc Conaghy Catamarans и двухкорпусный характер этих судов), начнется с выпуска модели MC²60, которая воплощает собой новое поколение высокосовершенных катамаранов класса «люкс».

Фирма Mc Conaghy, которая является специалистом в области строительства яхт, изготавливаемых на заказ, ответственна за создание самых быстрых в мире и самых успешных гоночных яхтных судов (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats и ICAP Leopard).

Главный дизайнер фирмы, Renaud Banuls, накопил значительный профессиональный опыт в области разработки дизайна многокорпусных судов за время его 10-летней работы в компании VPLP, где он играл важную роль в создании дизайна тримарана BMW Oracle, победителя гонок на кубок Америки, и макси-тримарана Banque Populaire V.

Строительство первого корпуса этого элитного катамарана начнется в июне 2011 года для его поставки в сентябре 2012 года.

Что если бы скорость была главным достоинством парусного катамарана?

По этому поводу Raphael Blot, руководитель производственной линии нового скоростного катамарана, дает следующую оценку: «Термин «высокосовершенный катамаран» часто используется слишком широко. Многие предположительно высокоскоростные катамараны обладают слишком большим весом. Они достигают скорости в несколько десятков узлов лишь в особых условиях, например, скорости в 20 узлов при галфвинде, оставаясь при этом достаточно низкоскоростными при других условиях их навигации. При порожнем водоизмещении 9 тонн катамаран MC² 60 является значительно более легким судном по сравнению с другими 55-60-футовыми катамаранами и будет обеспечивать быстроходность даже при слабом или встречном ветре».

Однако это не означает, что катамаран MC² 60 является чисто спортивным гоночным судном. Отличаясь просторным и экономным дизайном, не наносящим при этом ущерба комфортности судна, катамаран MC² 60 является люксовой яхтой, предусматривающей в своем типовом дизайне наличие четырех сдвоенных кают.

С целью наиболее полного удовлетворения индивидуальных запросов этот новаторский тип быстроходного круизного катамарана предлагается на полузаказной основе.

Этот быстроходный катамаран, спроектированный с целью облегчить управление судном при нехватке рабочих рук и его техническое обслуживание при отсутствии постоянной судовой команды, является достаточно просторным для обеспечения комфортного плавания

Применяя наиболее передовые принципы спортивного дизайна и строительных технологий к использованию современных строительных материалов, фирма McConaghy предлагает наиболее совершенное судно, являющееся воплощением современного прогресса в той области. Модель MC²60 закладывает новые стандарты скорости, люкса и изысканности. Благодаря своей гладкой форме и обратным изгибам, заимствованным у гоночных судов, эта новейшая модель катамарана служит образцом элегантности.

Все это объясняет девиз модели MC²60: «Создавать новые стандарты скорости, люкса и изысканности».

بيان صحافي MC²60

تعريفٌ جديد للسرعة والفخامة والأناقة

تتعاون شركة ماك كوناغي، بانيةُ اليخوت الأسترالية مع مكتب بانولز ديزاين المختص في تصميم يخوت السباق متعددة الهياكل لإطلاق خطٍ جديد من اليخوت الشراعية ثنائية الهيكل عالية الأداء نصف المخصصة تشكل نقلةً جديدة في هذا المجال.

سيبدأ الخط الجديد المسمى MC² (الأحرف الأولى من Mc Conaghy Catamarans مع الإشارة إلى الهيكليْن الاثنين) بيخوت MC²60 التي تمثل الجيلَ التالي من اليخوت ثنائية الهيكل الفاخرة عالية الأداء.

وتقف ماك كوناغي، المختصة في اليخوت المخصصة، خلف بعضٍ من أسرع وأنجح يخوت السباق في العالم (Alfa Romeo
وWild Oats وICAP Leopard).

اكتسب المصصم رينو بانولز خبرتَه في تصميم اليخوت متعددة الهياكل خلال 10 السنوات التي أمضاها من حياته المهنية في شركة تصميم اليخوت VPLP حيث لعب دوراً أساسياً في تصميم يختٍ يحمل اسم BMW Oracle الفائز في كأس أمريكا واليخت ثلاثي الهياكل الكبير الذي يحمل اسم Banque Populaire V.

سيبدأ بناء الهيكل الأول لهذا اليخت الثنائي الفاخر في حزيران/يونيو 2011 ليسلَّمَ في أيلول/سبتمبر 2012.

ماذا لو كانت السرعة هي الترف الحقيقي في يختٍ شراعي ثنائي الهيكل؟

يقول رفائيل بلوت، مديرُ خط الإنتاج الجديد لليخوت السريعة ثنائية الهيكل: "غالباً ما يُستخدم مصطلح ‘يخت ثنائي الهيكل عالي الأداء’ [High Performance Catamaran] بشكلٍ مبالَغٍ فيه. فكثيرٌ من اليخوت الشراعية ثنائية الهيكل التي يُفترض أن تكونَ سريعة هي في الواقع ثقيلةٌ جداً للإبحار بسرعة، كون الوزن عدو اليخوت متعددة الهياكل. إذ لا تبلغ سرعتُها رقماً بمرتبتيْن كـ 20 عقدة عند العرض الأعظم لليخت إلا في ظروفٍ محددةٍ جداً وهي فيما عدا ذلك جد بطيئةً. أما يخت MC² 60 الخفيف الذي لا يزيد وزنه عن 9 أطنان، فهو أخفُ بكثير من اليخوت ثنائية الهيكل الأخرى بطول 55-60 قدم، وسيكون يختاً شراعياً سريعاً حتى في ظروف الرياح الخفيفة وفي اتجاه هبوب الرياح ".

ليس معنى هذا أنّ يختَ السباق MC²60 يخلو من المزايا الأخرى. فهو، بتصميمه الذي يقلل من الحيز المفتوح إلى أقصى حد دون التضحية بالراحة، يختٌ ثنائي الهيكلِ فاخر يشتمل في تصميمه القياسي على أربع قمرات مزدوجة.

ولتلبية الاحتياجات الفردية لمالِكه، يقدَم هذا اليخت ثنائي الهيكل سريعُ الإبحارِ المبتكَر على أساسٍ شبه مخصَص.

صُمم هذا اليخت السريع ليبحرَ بسهولة بعددِ بحارة أقلَ من المعتاد ويصانَ دون ملاحين بدوامٍ كامل، ومع ذلك فهو واسعٌ بما فيه الكفاية للإبحار المريح.

وبتطبيق أكثر تقنيات التصميم والبناء المستوحاة من السباق ابتكاراً على المركبات البحرية عالية التقنية، تقدِم ماك كوناغي يختاً من الدرجة الأولى بأرفعِ وأحدثِ أداء. إذ يشكل MC²60 نَقلةً جديدة؛ معياراً جديداً في السرعة والفخامة والأناقة. وبشكلِهِ النحيل ومقدمتِهِ المعكوسة المستوحاة من السباق، ينضح هذا اليخت ثنائي الهيكل الفائق بالأناقة.

هذا ما يفسر شعار MC²60: تعريف جديد للسرعة والفخامة والأناقة

REDEFINIENDO LA VELOCIDAD, EL LUJO Y LA ELEGANCIA

Mc Conaghy, la constructora de embarcaciones australiana se asocia con el especialista en regatas de multicascos, Bañuls Design, para lanzar una nueva gama de catamaranes de alto rendimiento semipersonalizados que establecerán nuevos estándares.

Con el nombre de MC² (un juego de palabras de catamaranes Mc Conaghy, haciendo referencia a los dos cascos), la gama comienza con el MC²60 el cual representa la próxima generación de catamaranes de lujo de alto rendimiento.

Mc Conaghy, el especialista en yates personalizados está detrás de algunos de los más rápidos y famosos yates de regatas del mundo (Alfa Romeo, Wild Oats, ICAP Leopard).

El diseñador Renaud Banuls obtuvo la experiencia en multicascos durante sus 10 años en la empresa francesa VPLP (Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost) donde jugó un papel decisivo en el diseño del vencedor de la Copa América, BMW Oracle y del maxi-trimarán Banque Populaire V.

La construcción del casco nº 1 del catamarán de esta velocidad comenzará en junio de 2011 y estará listo para su entrega en septiembre de 2012.

La velocidad como el verdadero lujo en la navegación de catamaranes

Raphaël Blot, Director de la nueva gama de catamaranes de lujo, comenta: “El término ‘Catamarán de alto rendimiento’ se suele utilizar de forma abusiva. Muchos catamaranes de supuesta navegación rápida suelen ser de hecho demasiado pesados para una navegación veloz ya que el peso es el enemigo en lo que a multicascos se refiere. Alcanzan una velocidad de dos dígitos en condiciones muy específicas como con viento de 20 nudos en la manga, pero de otra manera son muy lentos. Con un desplazamiento ligero de 9 toneladas, el MC² 60 es sustancialmente más ligero que otros catamaranes de crucero de 55-60 pies (entre 16 y 18 metros), y seguirá siendo un catamarán rápido incluso en condiciones de viento ligero y con el viento en contra”.

El MC²60 no es un catamarán común y corriente. Con un diseño minimalista, pero de espacios amplios y sin sacrificar el confort, el MC² 60 es un catamarán de lujo que ofrece cuatro camarotes de diseño estándar.

Para poder satisfacer las necesidades individuales, este innovador y rápido catamarán de crucero se ofrece de forma semipersonalizada.

Este veloz catamarán está diseñado para ser manejado fácilmente con poco personal y sin necesidad de mantenimiento a tiempo completo, aún así es suficientemente grande para maniobrarse con facilidad.

Aplicando el diseño más puntero y las técnicas de construcción más innovadoras inspiradas en regatas en materiales compuestos de alta tecnología, McConaghy ofrece las embarcaciones sofisticadas que representan la vanguardia del rendimiento. El MC²60 establece los nuevos estándares en cuanto a velocidad, lujo y elegancia. Con lustrosas formas y proas invertidas inspiradas en regatas, este catamarán rezuma elegancia por cada esquina.

Esto explica el lema del MC²60: Redefiniendo velocidad, lujo y elegancia
