As soon as it was launched in Croatia, the Makai 37 sailed to Palma, then Venice... and now it’s due in Cannes, perfectly tested on its semi-offshore trip.
The Italian design of Emanuele Rossi (ERYD Design) offers this powercat sedan sporty and attractive lines. The catamaran concept is of course exploited so as to offer reduced fuel consumption, impeccable lateral stability and a level of comfort pertaining to a much larger boat. The tunnel between the hulls has been designed to create a shock-absorbing air cushion in rougher seas. The deck plan provides access to the water - or the beach - at the (Kevlar®-reinforced) bow and at the stern. The engine legs can be raised, allowing the boat to take the ground with total safety. This model will be available in a GT version. We’ve already booked in for a test in Split.
Full test in Multihulls World Special Issue Power #23.
