MC75

On board, it’s all about luxury and comfort, but performance hasn’t been overlooked, judging by the daggerboards - which retract in the event of striking something - that plunge to almost 15 feet (4.5 meters) below the surface. The builder promises, in certain conditions, speeds equal to those of the wind. We’re willing to believe it, since this catamaran, over 76 feet (23 meters) long, was clocked at 29 knots! Also worth noting is the structure of this multihull, which doesn’t feature a forward crossbeam - the architects drew direct inspiration from the foiling catamarans that competed in the America’s Cup by adopting a central carbon longeron.

A test sail will be featured in an upcoming issue of Multihulls World.
