2023 Power Buyer's Guide

50 to 60 feet

Aboard a multipower of 50 to 60 feet in length, we’re getting into a world of great comfort on the water - a quality of life that is little different from our life ashore. Unrestricted energy and an XXL payload form a big part of this... As for the length of the hulls, this ensures seakindly behavior, even in heavy weather. The large capacity of the tanks allows for lengthy passagemaking, sometimes ocean crossings - provided that the speed is carefully managed.

EUPHORIE 51

Inviting you to go further

See TEST in MW162

The objective for builder Privilège and architect Marc Lombard was to design a power version of the very successful Série 5. The bet paid off, as the elegant Euphorie 51 has irreproachable seakeeping qualities and a luxury level of comfort. With the exception of a few details, notably in the cockpit, this powercat is now taking over the deck plan of the Privilège Signature 510. The layout is unchanged: the gigantic owner’s cabin still occupies the full width of the central rostrum. As usual in the Privilège world, customization is possible and high-end quality is present in every detail. A real invitation to head off further afield!

LEEN 50

A new motor trimaran

NEW

The LEEN Trimarans range already counts two models, the 56 and the 72, and now the La Rochelle-based shipyard has announced a third, more compact model, the LEEN 50. This new tri will be picking up the same program as her bigger sisterships, i.e. blue water cruising with irreproachable marine qualities, great comfort at sea thanks to the three hulls, and large range. Powercats of this size, capable of covering 1,750 miles at 10 knots, are not a common sight, and this is precisely the interest of this trimaran - easing back the throttle of the two engines a little more will mean ocean passage-making capability becomes a reality. So we are dealing with an ocean-going trawler. On deck, the LEEN 50 has the same covered side-decks as her big sisters, and inside, the emphasis will be on a very neat and refined finish - top of the range upholstery, quality joinery based on solid wood, Bolon and Corian.

ILIAD 50

2,500 nm without needing to refuel

TEST in MW169

The Iliad range is built in China and distributed in Australia. This 50-foot boat, designed for ocean crossing, is complemented by two other models that are even bigger. The Iliad’s program is much more adventurous than that of most of its competitors: the possibility of covering 2,500 miles without refueling and being able to take the ground, on a beach or slipway proves it from the outset... However, comfort has not been neglected, quite the contrary: the Iliad 50 offers three levels of living space and a particularly neat finish.
