Will this catamaran finally reconcile performance on the water with the comfort the owners of these big yachts demand? Impressive panoramic views with the recourse to transparency between the interior and the exterior, as well as through the absence of a mast bulkhead spoiling the view forward, those who are lucky enough to sail aboard this boat will be able to enjoy the scenery to the full... Then there is of course the mast, which is stepped well aft and is reminiscent of the rigs of the racing boats dear to the in-house architects.
A boat which will be built in composites, to limit the laden displacement to 28 tonnes, and propelled downwind by nearly 500m of canvas... It'll be fast!
