MC68 - A Big Yacht in Sport Mode

Just after the show, the MC68 was moored in the bay of Cannes, in front of the city’s famous boulevard, La Croisette... but it had already hoisted sail. We joined it via a tender while enjoying the first comments from its owner, Ross. Unusually, it was the man himself who had come to pick us up at the Port Canto dock. We sensed a little pride in his words, and we would soon discover why. We remember the positioning that both the brand and its naval architect, Jason Kerr, like to reiterate: “Our typical customers are catamaran owners who want to acquire a prestigious, high-performance vessel that can handle a wide range of conditions and wind angles, but also offers a spacious and attractive living area.” This bold positioning, which consists of offering opulent, palace-like interiors - Sunreef Yachts’ style - with a speed close to that of Gunboat or HH, is contradictory to say the least, as we know only too well. So we were eager to find out more, and we were in for a treat, as an MC75 was also part of the show. A photo/video team was on hand to immortalize the two models, side by side, for much of the day.
