Large-sized catamarans are appealing due to their ample spacing and comfort. Therefore, a cruising family or couple looking to buy a boat is more likely to go for one of these. But are there small cruising catamarans that provide the performance, comfort, and amenities found in larger boats?

The best catamarans under 30 feet (9.14 m) include the TomCat 6.2, Cadillac 27and 30, Gemini 30, Endeavour 30, and Maine Cat. These time-tested cruising cats are easy to handle, premium built, and are great for daytime sailing, overnight trips, and some even suitable for long-range sea passages.

In this article, you’ll find a list of the best cruising catamarans below 30 feet (9.14 m). Keep reading to discover which catamarans make this list, what they have to offer, their pros and cons, and how much they cost.

If you are unsure whether or not 30ft is too small for your needs, then I suggest you check out another article I wrote named Best Size Catamaran , it will discuss why length matters and how it affects safety.

Unlike most catamarans designed for racing purposes, the TomCat 6.2 is a medium-sized cat that’s well-suited to daytime cruising. It boasts high-quality construction, vacuum-bagged hulls, and a plywood-reinforced deck.

This 20 footer (6.09 m) comes with an 11-foot (3.35 m) beam and not only offers you safety and comfort but performance and versatility as well.

This boat has a centrally placed outboard engine and two rudders that allow it to turn quickly and maneuver confidently into and out of marina slips. The 9.9 hp outboard propels it to speeds of around 8 knots (9.21 mph or 14.8 kph), though the boat has the potential to move faster if desired.

This simpler type of cat (just one engine as an example) also allows for cheaper and easier maintenance. Maintenance costs are something most people underestimate when getting a cat, if you want to get some real numbers from actual sailors then I suggest you read this article (How much does it cost to maintain a cat).

The boat sails with minimal heeling, comfortably accommodate 6-8 people, and you can sail it single-handed or take a crew.

High and narrow hulls bearing arched bottoms allow for a low wetted surface. The hull design provides low resistance and a great deal of reserved buoyancy and also enables you to drive through closely spaced waves.

On most 20-footers (6.1 m), driving through waves generates a smooth but wet ride, but with the TomCat’s enclosed deck (link to parts names explained here ), you are safe and protected behind a windshield and the high bulwark.

The TomCat makes an excellent cruiser because it performs impressively well both under sail and power. It combines the performance of a modern sailing cat with the comfort, style, and convenience of a powerboat. It’s also trailerable since you can detach the hulls from the deck , winch up the deck on a trailer, and slide the hulls underneath.

But the best part is that it’s easy on the pocket, with the price ranging between $36,750 and $44,580 .

Catalac 30 (9M)

The Catalac brand consists of strongly built vessels that sport thick hulls, glass windows, narrow beams, and vertical transoms . Catalac 30 was the first vessel in this popular British cruising line designed by Tom Lack in the late 60s. The boat’s appeal was attributed to its safety, ample spacing, well-built interior, and load-carrying abilities.

These characteristics are extremely important on a safe catamaran, overloading your cat makes it sit lower in the water, increases drag, reduces handling and speed, there is stuff you should know about this (so that you can make an educated buy). I have created an article where I try to explain the basics of a safe cat ( link here )

Sporting 5 berths, a massive galley, plus a cockpit with a sheltered steering position, the 30-foot (9.1 m) Catalac makes an excellent floating home for a cruising family. It sails exceptionally well, doesn’t heel ( heeling explained here ), and delivers a reasonable motor-sailer level of performance.

Furthermore, the hulls provide adequate headroom, allowing those on board to move around comfortably, and there’s enough space on the deck for sunbathing.

The Catalac’s structure features solid fiberglass, chined hulls, and a staggered sheerline that allows easy aft access. With a modest rig that’s easy to handle, the Catalac can deliver top speeds of up to 12-14 knots (13.81-16.11 mph / 22.22-25.9 kph) under sail.

Given that the boat’s design focuses more on comfort than speed, this is a spectacular performance.

Catalac 9M requires a skilled hand when turning into the wind as it is prone to blowing sideways. This is because the boat lacks ballast (which helps in keeping momentum during a tack) but also centerboards ( explained here ).

Skills are always the most essential things to bring aboard and you can acquire them in many ways, my two favorite ways are through NauticEd courses (two free courses here ) or by reading books (my top 15 books here )

Back to the boat! This model came in two versions; the standard layout contained a 30-40hp outboard, while the second option had duo engines. The latter is easier to maneuver into a marina.

These cats retain their value pretty well. However, they might not be easy to come by since most owners find it challenging to get their hands on a larger boat with similar qualities and performance.

A Catalac 30 (9M) goes for between $33,000 and $55,000.

Catalac 27 (8M)

The Catalac 27 8M is a pocket cruiser that boasts a strong reputation for high quality, durability, and strength. Besides, the boat’s design makes it somewhat suitable for bluewater sailing ( understand why the small size is an offshore problem).

Built like a battleship, the boat contains solid fiberglass hulls. Additionally, it comes with double engines, a large cockpit fitted with cushions all around, and features standing headroom in each hull.

Like the Catalac 9M, this boat comes with two different layouts; a twin inboard diesel engine or an outboard engine. The twin-engine models can motor up to 1000 km (621 miles, read more on cat fuel consumption here ) without needing to refuel, while the 70 amps of charge plus water tanks (70 gallons / 265 liters) make these vessels remarkable coastal cruisers.

Catalacs equipped with outboard engines sail faster since you can raise the engine during sailing and are also lighter. This helps to minimize drag . Catalac 8M sports a short but thick mast that helps make the boat stable.

Though small in size, this catamaran packs a lot of features in its small frame. It has a full-sized berth, a large galley that’s almost 8 feet (2.4 m) long, a quarter berth, head, and navigation station.

What’s more, the cockpit is as large as that of a 38 to 40-foot (11.5 to 12.1 m) cat.

Catalac 27 costs about $31,836.

The Endeavour 30

The Endeavour 30 catamaran is a boat characterized by stability, ample deck space, and a spacious interior. It boasts fast cruising speeds under both sail and power.

The boat has mini keels and rudders plus symmetrical hulls separated by a hydra-cell. The latter is a center section with a characteristic V-shape.

The boat’s vacuum-bagged construction helps enhance strength and stiffness while reducing weight. Furthermore, the interior has a fiberglass mold, providing extra strength and rigidity. With sufficient breeze, this vessel can deliver reasonable off-the-wind and doable upwind speeds.

As such, you can expect to attain speeds of about ~10 knots (11.51 mph or 18.5 kph) on power reaches. Below is a video showing a panoramic tour of the Endeavour 30:

This vessel has the internal capacity of a 40-foot (12.1 m) monohull. And you can tell this from the unique layout merging the cabin and cockpit with wide doors to the numerous features packed into this 30-foot (9.14 m) vessel.

It has a spacious salon, an enormous galley, two queen berth staterooms with plenty of storage space, a head with separate showers, and a sizable U-shaped dinette.

You can get this boat for under $50,000 .

The Geminis by Tony Smith were the United States’s first production cruising cats. Today, these vessels remain the most appealing American-built cruising catamarans. Built between 1981 and 1990, the Gemini 30 does not have a contemporary design, but it works remarkably well for cruisers desiring generous living space in a small affordable sailboat.

At only 14 feet (4.2 m) across, Gemini cats are somewhat narrow. But this mean s they can easily fit into most of the regular marina berths.

Besides, the boats still contain enough interior space for a queen-size double berth and two smaller doubles housed in separate guest rooms.

There’s also a modest but serviceable saloon with duo settees and a collapsible table that can transform into an additional double berth.

For the Gemini 30, this translates to a cruising cat with standing headroom that can comfortably accommodate 3 couples in private cabins or a family with small children. A good-sized galley, a spacious head with a shower, nav desk, and a large comfy cockpit make up the Gemini 30’s cruising palace.

Catamaran layout is highly personal and if you want to learn more about different characteristics then I suggest you read my article Designing the perfect catamaran layout ( Link )

While not that fast, the Gemini 30 will easily outsail the Endeavor 30 discussed above. Its daggerboards (which are explained in detail here ) can point well, and if you keep it light, it can do 7-8 knots (12.9-14.8 km/hr) under sail.

Besides, raising the daggerboards reduces the wetted surface area, and increases the speed downwind.

The Gemini 30 tends to pound and hobbyhorse a little when sailing in choppy waters – particularly when overloaded (more on load carrying capabilities in this article ), but the deep pivoting daggerboards provide stability and lift underwater.

Furthermore, the Gemini’s retractable rudders enable it to venture into shallow waters.

This is a very popular cruising cat that’ll give you a lot of bang for your bucks.

You can find a Gemini for less than $65,000.

Maine Cat 30

The Maine Cat 30 combines premium quality construction materials with the most advanced building techniques to create a lightweight vessel capable of handling most offshore conditions. What’s more, this boat can remain trouble-free for years on end with little effort.

If you are in the market for a simple liveaboard cruiser that you can use for a short weekend getaway or a cruising voyage, this is it.

The boat has a sizable primary stateroom berth with ample overhead space and a dresser fitted with a hanging storage cabinet. The enormous head includes a toilet, sink, 20-gallon (75.71 L) holding tank, vanity, and a pressurized shower.

Covering the open bridgedeck is a permanent hardtop. This spacious bridgedeck can hold quite a crowd and comes with a convertible dinette that turns into an extra berth. If need be, you can even enclose the entire space using acrylic windows or screens. Gabo

The 360-degree visibility from the cockpit allows the captain plus the crew a panoramic view, and all sail controls go back to the cockpit, which is very useful if wanting to sail single-handedly.

I believe that most boats should be set up in this way since sooner or later you might be in a situation where there is only one person to handle the controls, such as in an emergency. But more on that in another article ( Link ).

The Maine Cat 30 is a classic boat that delivers on high-performance multihull sailing. Designed to offer much better performance than catamarans bearing tall and heavy bridge decks, this cat weighs less and suffers less windage thanks to the acrylic windows.

The boat’s interior layout allows for easy cleaning as surfaces sport a smooth gel coat and satin-finished cherry trim. The solid but lightweight furniture bears the same Core-Cell foam core employed on the hull, deck, and hardtop. Plus, there’s ample storage for all your sailing equipment, cleaning supplies, and provisions.

A Maine Cat 30 can cost up to $110,000.

Heavenly Twins 27

The overall design of this well-equipped catamaran makes it a superb pocket cruiser.

Heavenly Twins 27 manages to fit not one but two coachroofs on hulls that are only 27 feet (8.20 m) long. Canoe sterns and a central cockpit separating the duo coachroofs form the boat’s other prominent features.

Famous for their excellent build quality, medium-depth draft, and narrow beams, Heavenly Twins 27 appeals to a wide range of boating enthusiasts.

These include solo sailors, weekend sailors, cruising families, circumnavigators, beginner sailors, and experienced liveaboards such as this famous Youtube channel “Kittiwake”.

The vessels house double cabins in the hulls while the forward starboard contains the heads and, to port, the galley. You can easily access the bar from the well-protected cockpit while the Comfordesk accommodation converts into a double dock.

A stoop through allows access from below-deck to the aft compartment without going through the cockpit. There’s ample storage space throughout the boat, plus you can section off the large stateroom into smaller double compartments if desired.

The price range for this boat is $ 20,098 to $24,193. (I believe that kittiwake is for sale too)

The last cruising catamaran on my list is the Aquilon 26 . This French-built cruising vessel is light in weight and trailerable, which means you can disassemble it in a few hours or transport it as-is.

Designing a boat that is possible to disassemble usually means that it is structurally less strong, which by no means is a problem during coastal sailing but the Aquilon 26 is mostly attractive to sailors who prefer inland lake sailing. It’s also suitable for beginner sailors.

Although there are no real “beginner cats” there are specs to consider if you are a beginner with catamarans, most of them I have listed in another article ( here ). Gabo

This 26-footer (7.92 m) has the potential for good speed though its layout is anything but conventional- which forms part of its appeal.

The cockpit works as the saloon, and a full bimini protects the crew from lousy weather. The starboard hull contains a dinette and galley, and the port has a double berth stateroom. The windows are quite unusual, but they provide lots of light, remarkably enhancing interior visibility.

Aquilon 26 can deliver an average cruising speed of 10knots (11.51 mph or 18.5 kph).

On a beam reach, you can expect around 25 knots (28.77 mph or 46.3 kph) with an adequate breeze ( I have never sailed at 25knots but researching this boat supposedly it is possible).

You can get this boat for under $50,000.

What Makes Small Cruising Cats Attractive?

Small cruising cats are ideal for sailing along the coast. But that’s not all. Under capable hands, properly fitted smaller cats can also deliver spectacular offshore passages similar to their larger counterpart (Heres a list of full-sized bluewater cats).

They can operate over long cruise ranges, cross oceans , and circumnavigate the globe . Smaller cats are also suitable for day sailing, overnight trips, and coastal or inland voyages.

For most sailors, comfort on board is crucial, so they’ll look for a vessel that guarantees a comfortable cruising experience. The good thing is that smaller vessels provide almost the same qualities and amenities that bigger vessels offer. Plus, you can do quite a bit with the available space, especially if it’s well laid out.

You’ll find that most 30-footer (9.14 m) or more miniature cruising cats comprise a galley, head, bunks, navigation and entertainment electronics, and refrigeration.

Sailors usually talk about these benefits of smaller cats:

They’re less expensive. Large boats are costly to buy. They also cost more to hire, maintain, and dock. You can buy a small-sized boat at a much lower price, and parts tend to cost less too. Besides, you get to use smaller sails, winches, and lighter lines than those applicable on a larger boat. And since marine services such as moorings and haul-outs get billed via boat length, a smaller cat makes sailing more affordable.
They boast superior builds. Most cruising boats under 30 feet (9.14 m) feature designs that are 30+ years old. In those days, weather forecasts were hard to come by and not as accurate, so boat builders used hulls with thicker fiberglass than the type found in today’s builds. Furthermore, everything in the boat, including rigs, rudders, hulls, keels and decks, was designed to withstand strong winds and high waves.
They have simpler systems. This means less time spent fixing and maintaining your boat. For instance, most small cruising cats often lack water-makers, hot water systems, or electric anchor windlasses.
They’re easier to handle. Smaller cats are simpler to sail than larger cats. It’s also easier to sail one single-handed or with a small crew.

What is the largest cat on person can sail?

The Disadvantages of Smaller Cruising Cats

Below are some of the most discussed downsides of small cats:

They have limited living space, storage, and amenities.
Though they don’t heel much, they are less comfortable than larger boats since they get tossed around much more easily in big ocean swells.
It’s not easy to accommodate crew for extended periods; hence there are fewer hands to share work.
They are slower and take longer to get to their destination.

Though fewer are on the cruising trails than their larger counterparts, small catamarans make ideal cruisers because they are simple, seaworthy, and pocket-friendly.

When choosing the best cat for your needs, focus on quality rather than size. A well-planned 30-footer (9.14 m) is reliable and provides ample space for your accommodation, dining, and relaxation, plus a storage room for provisions and any spare parts you might need.

And if you want even more info than I have presented to you in this article I would recommend a book from Serj, he makes it easy to understand why size matters and how to find a cat suited for your needs (amazon link )

15 of our favorite 35 to 45-foot catamarans

Rather well-canvassed and above all quite light, this catamaran is reputed to sail well.

Curvy and convivial, the saloon is adjacent to a functional galley.

Fast for its size, the 381 is also pleasant to sail. Top speeds of 20 knots are on the cards!

The nacelle’s low volume and the narrow hulls lend themselves more to a small crew.

The 380 takes up the broad outline of the 410, which came out three years earlier…but offers engines accessible via rear lockers rather than under the berths.

The nacelle and its large vertical portlights offer an uninterrupted view and excellent protection from the sun.

Certain owners report top speeds of over 18 knots. Seawinds are fast!

The nacelle is occupied by the saloon alone; as a result, there is no lack of space at aperitif time!

An unusual silhouette, especially head on… But the marked longitudinal steps in the hulls keep the waterline beam moderate, and offer good performance.

Small floor area in the nacelle, but welcome vertical portlights to limit the greenhouse effect.

Well-canvassed, the Lavezzi is capable of averaging 9 knots during ocean passages – if the trade winds are present.

The triangular saloon table and the offset companionways guarantee easy movement around the bridgedeck.

The steering positions offer a good view of the sail plan.

At the cost of less than fluid movement around the boat, nothing is lacking aboard, and you can spend long months on the water.

Maximum freeboard for comfort in the hulls, but a tall rig so you don’t get stuck in light airs.

The owner’s version which offers the happy skipper a full hull, with a large bathroom and desk, is our preference. The companionway can even be closed, to cut oneself off from the bridgedeck.

The first examples, equipped with a non-overlapping jib, deserve a ‘real’ genoa, to pep them up!

Rounded saloon and athwartships aft berths: the designer Olivier Flahault presents some appealing and functional innovations.

51 four-cabin models as opposed to 13 private owner’s versions: it’s not easy to find a three-cabin boat!

All the Leopard 43’s berths are arranged athwartships.

Two innovations on deck: the builder has provided a forward cockpit and a raised steering position.

The vertical portlights provide an exceptional view of the sea, light and no greenhouse effect. At the price of debatable aerodynamics.

Thanks to its double 'steps', the Leopard 44 succeeds in keeping the hulls quite slim at the waterline.

With 2.12 m of headroom, the saloon is comfortable. And there is no lack of light, thanks to its generous portlights.

The sail plan, with its mast positioned well forward, clearly favors the mainsail.

The U-shaped galley inherited from monohulls is appealing in use: you are perfectly secure when the sea is rough.

Marc Lombard took great care to design rather slim hulls. A good point for performance.

Inside, we find once again the Privilege finishing quality and the very special atmosphere aboard these catamarans built for demanding owners.

This 45 is certainly a particularly fast catamaran, but it is also very safe in heavy weather.

The compact nacelle reduces the liveable volume. Ideal for lightening the boat and offering more trampoline area.

Second-hand is of course cheaper…and is often the opportunity to sail aboard a multihull which is ready to set off (again). From 35 to 45 feet, the budgets remain moderate, with some good opportunities. We have chosen for you 15 of the most well-known 35 to 45-foot boats, which will therefore be easy to re-sell when you return – if you choose to return one day…

Athena 38 Best seller in the under 40-foot category

In 1994, the Athena 38 came in between the Tobago 35 and the Venezia 42, two boats whose design it echoed – rounded lines, pug-nosed bows and a coachroof extension. Although it remains relatively lightweight, it is slower than the builder’s previous models. Its hulls are in fact appreciably beamier, and the freeboard is higher. It is thus perfectly suited to a long cruise in the West Indies or the Mediterranean, as a couple or a family. On the other hand, during long passages, it is a little lacking in length for a smooth passage through the sea. Nevertheless, its load-carrying capacity is appreciable for a catamaran of less than 40'. Pleasant under sail, easy to handle, this model quickly became a great commercial success – for both charter companies and private individuals – to such a point that it remained in its builder’s catalogue for almost 10 years. In 1998, the Athena was improved: we enjoyed a better view forward, thanks to a new steering position, directly inspired by the one on the Bahia 46. A solid platform was also provided, aft of the mainsheet track. This model’s strong points: great comfort, despite its modest size, easy movement both on deck and inside, and a particularly successful rounded saloon. The finishing on this model is clearly improved, compared to previous generations; just a few glued headlinings can be noticed here and there.

The plusses: very liveable catamaran for its size, good performance, very pleasant bridgedeck

The minuses: Not comfortable to windward in big seas, tiny hull portlights, small chart table

Most of the boats are still in good overall condition. To be checked: sails, engines, electric circuit, standing and running rigging. For those who wish to set off, check the following points: forestay and gooseneck fixing points, and steering cables.

10 Best Catamarans Under 40 Feet

One of the best ways to unwind and relax is cruising on the sea and enjoying nature’s beauty on a boat. And when it comes to your relaxation and enjoyment, why not go for a boat that is guaranteed to deliver you maximum comfort like the catamaran?

For new yacht/boat enthusiasts, the term catamaran might seem foreign to you. A catamaran is a multi-hulled vessel with two hulls that are both of equal size. It is a geometrically balanced vessel, getting its stability from its wide beam, unlike a monohull with a ballasted keel. Now you might seriously be wondering, why take a cat instead of a monohull? Well, there are quite a few reasons but let us focus on the important ones.

Benefits Of A Great Catamaran Under 40 Feet

Sailing comfort.

Something very glaring about sailing a cat is the absence of heeling, which a monohull has. Even when powered, a cat will hardly heel more than 5-10 degrees before its time to reef. This makes it far more relaxing and comfortable under sail.

Speed

A bluewater cruising catamaran is faster than a cruising monohull of the same length. They usually reach near racing monohull speeds while still maintaining the comforts that a cat provides.

Nevertheless, note that cats are sensitive to load; a loaded cat will have its performance affected.

Living Spaces and Liveaboard Comfort

The one thing a modern cat does not lack is space. A typical cat has the space equivalent to a monohull 10+ feet larger. When you factor in the cockpit space, a flybridge, and the deck space, it becomes a whole new ball game. Not only do you get a tremendous amount of space, but most of that space is also luxurious and comfortable, whether at anchor or underway.

Here Are Some Of The Best Catamarans Under 40 Feet

Fountaine Pajot Lucia 40

Price: From 350k to 450k For Sale On The Used Market

The Fountaine Pajot released the new Lucia 40 to the Miami show in February 2016, and boat enthusiasts received it with a lot of enthusiasm.

The new Lucia 40 was designed by Oliver Racoupeau, and it is a promising take on the future of modern designs. The hulls are moderately narrow but wide enough for the double berths in both cabins to fit in. The topsides are high and have big rectangular windows that allow natural light into the hulls and give a marvelous view from the cabins.

The boat has a lot of space for a 40-footer which has been put to good use to provide a lot of options for a comfortable lifestyle on board. A displacement of 19,500 pounds and an Alpi wood finishing puts the cat on the lighter end of the cruising spectrum.

All in all, the Lucia 40 is a very wonderful cruiser catamaran that is not lacking in looks, motor efficiency, or living space. She will never disappoint in giving you that enjoyable cruise that you deserve.

Price: From 350k to 600k For Sale On The Used Market

The Lagoon 40 has come to replace her previous 39 and 400 models. Designed by VPLP, the new cat adopted the style of her larger predecessors, including the angular transoms, lengthier rectangular hull ports to let natural light stream in below. The design also includes a coach roof that shapes into an upward angled composite hard drop, giving her a more “aggressive” look. Special attention was placed into keeping the weight low.

The interior has not gone through any overly dramatic change, but the tweaks have been given an extra feel of luxury. The symbolic white fiberglass or gray cabinetry of the 39 has been discarded for richer shades of dark brown Alpi wood and plenty of leather accents. The lagoon 40 has 3-4 cabins readily available for use.

The Lagoon 40 is truly a beauty among beauties, a modern marvel that does not go for less when it comes to luxury.

Price: From 250k to 400k For Sale On The Used Market

Renowned naval architects Marc van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot Prevost of VPLP design have gone above and beyond with this modern marvel. While the defining features of the previous lagoon remained, very significant changes were made to the rigs and hulls to boost sailing performance. Most importantly, the mast and the center of buoyancy of the hulls are farther apart.

The boat has infusion molding, which serves for increased weight saving (a factor very important for a catamaran), an optimal structure, and better protection for the environment and shipbuilders.

The woodwork for the interior of the 39 was done with Alpi reconstructed wood, coupled with vertical glazing for protection against the sun.

Lagoon 39 Specs

Length Overall: 38.3ft Beam: 22.3ft Draft Minimum: 4.0ft Water Capacity: 66.0 imperial gallons Fuel Capacity: 88.0 imperial gallons Cabins: 4 Berths: 8/10 Day maximum passengers: 10 Bathrooms: 2 WC: 2 Number of engines: 2 Power: 40 hp

Price: From 150k to 450k For Sale On The Used Market

The Lagoon 380 is the most sought-after cat in the world, and it is not hard to see why. Line her up against her follow cats like the lagoon 46 or 42, and she still tops them.

She is a certified ocean crosser; quite sturdy, safe, and economical. She also has an acceptable level of performance and is pretty spacious for a cat of her size. What more could you ask for? She definitely one of the best catamarans under 40 feet and a dreamboat for an enjoyable cruise.

The 380 is not the lightest boat for her size. Her hulls are made from solid fiberglass below the waterline and cored with a mix of foam and balsa above the waterline.

The design used for the interior is top-notch, and it makes use of the available space. The boat also possesses vertical windows that help to efficiently maximize space and minimize the heat from the sun. In addition, there are dual sliding doors that open up the saloon into the cockpit. The Lagoon 380 is truly a modern masterpiece.

Lagoon 380 Specs

Length Overall: 37.7 ft Beam: 21.3ft Draft Minimum: 3.8ft Water Capacity: 88 – 132 imperial gallons Fuel Capacity: 44 imperial gallons Cabins: 4 Berths: 8/10 Day maximum passengers: 10 Power: 30 hp

Nautitech 40

Price: From 250k to 600k For Sale On The Used Market

Looking for a spectacular sailing sensation? Are you planning on spending a wonderful and relaxing trip with family and friends on the sea? If yes, then look no further; the Nautitech 40 is the perfect cat for you.

The open design gives you huge living space for a forty-foot cat, the most in her class. She is pretty light for a production cruising cat and accelerates very quickly compared to other brands. The Nautitech is the perfect combination of speed and comfort.

Different density foam cores are used, depending on the location and loading in different parts of the boat. The biggest difference between the Nautitech 40 and much of the competition is the use of foam composite in contrast to the balsa cores of the competition. This allows a significant amount of weight to be saved.

Nautitech 40 Specs

Length Overall: 39.4ft Beam: 22.7ft Draft Minimum: 4.43ft Water Capacity: 105.6ft Fuel Capacity: 94.6ft Cabins: 4 Berths: 8/10 Day maximum passengers: 10 Bathrooms: 2 WC: 2 Number of engines: 2 Power: 30 hp

If you are not an ardent yacht lover yet, then the Bali 4.0 should easily change your mind. This modern marvel towers above all others in the cat crowd, boasting a state-of-the-art design and revolutionary features. Her oversized and wholly open spaces, plus its competitive price, makes it a superb choice for you.

The interior design of the boat stems from the famous Italian composite material, Alpi, which has a mixture of thin African woods laminated with a gorgeous outer surface. The addition of other complimentary fabrics sums up a tasteful modern décor.

You cannot be faulted for calling her a floating apartment, so if you’re looking for something large but lightweight with a feel of “home” offshore, the Bali 4.0 has it all.

Bali 4.0 Specs

Length Overall: 39.1ft Beam: 22.0ft Draft Minimum: 3.7ft Water Capacity: 176 imperial gallons Fuel Capacity: 88.0 imperial gallons Cabins: 4 Berths: 8/10 Day maximum passengers: 10 Number of engines: 2 Power: 20 hp

Seawind 1190

Price: From 400k to 550k For Sale On The Used Market

Seawind built upon the global success garnered from the 1160 to create a swifter model with enhanced performance. With the addition of retractable rudders, carbon fiber throughout, and a wardrobe of performance sails, she is truly a top-class cat.

The 1190 is intended to be a sportier version of its comfortably cruising sibling. It has various performance-enhancing features like the carbon-reinforced beam for reduced weight and the carbon bowsprit for stiffer/lighter construction.

Similar to her sister, the 1190 has trifold doors opening the saloon to the cockpit with the forward opening Saloon window, which allows the cat to have maximum airflow.

Seawind 1190 Specs

Length Overall: 38.1ft Beam: 21.3ft Draft Minimum: 3.6ft Water Capacity: 154 imperial gallons Fuel Capacity: 79.2 imperial gallons Cabins: 3 Berths: 8/10 Day maximum passengers: 10 Bathrooms: 1

Beneteau Excess 12

Price: New From 350k (Sailaway)

Excess is a new multihull line designed by Groupe Beneteau. It was designed to be an open cat that connects the crew more directly with their sailing experience.

The French naval architect focused on streamlining the interior wood structure and, in doing so, got rid of a lot of cabinetry hardware. The result was a smoother and lighter interior that still satisfies all your needs.

Beneteau Excess 12 Specs

Length Overall: 38.5ft Beam: 22.0ft Draft Minimum: 4.43ft Water Capacity: 66 imperial gallons Fuel Capacity: 96.8 imperial gallons Cabins: 4 Berths: 8 Day maximum passengers: 8 Number of engines: 2 Power: 45 hp

Prout Escale 39 – Best Budget Option

Price: Around 150k For Sale On The Used Market

The Prout Escale 39 was built in Essex, United Kingdom, in 1991. This cruising beauty was created by two brothers, Francis and Roland Prout.

The Escale, compared to previous builds, has a considerably larger beam; this, in turn, resulted in her having a very spacious interior. If you prioritize comfort over speed, then the Escale 39 is the perfect boat for you. She has ideal accommodations below deck, the kind of space you will not find in a monohull. Some parts of her interior are dated, and this reflects on her second-hand prices.

Prout Escale 39 Specs

Overall length: 39″0″ Waterline length: 35″0″ Beam: 18″3″ Hull beam (max.): 4″3″ Draft: 3″3″ Max. headroom: 6″10″ Mainsail: 243 sq. ft. Genoa: 475 sq. ft Staysail: 125 sq. ft. Displacement: 15,679 lbs. Freshwater tank: 154 gals. Fuel: 35 gals.

Gemini Legacy 35

Price: From 200k to 300k For Sale On The Used Market

The Gemini cat has always been one of the silent achievers in American boatbuilding. Once again, they have delivered greatness with the Legacy 35.

She still has roughly the same looks as her predecessors with the familiar hardtop pilothouse and elongated upswept side ports. Her cockpit, however, has been rebranded to include an optional aft bench for stowage.

The interior layout has seen changes, but this has improved the comfort she provides in a lot of ways. The saloon has been designed to take a U-shape on the centerline in the raised pilothouse.

Gemini Legacy 35 Specs

Length Overall: 34.51 Fuel Capacity: 35.93 US gallons. Cabins: 2 Berths: 4/6 Day maximum passengers: 6 Bathrooms: 2 Number of engines: 2 Power: 15 hp

HammerCat 35

Fast, Luxurious, Light, and Fuel Efficient.

HammerCat 35 - Dimensions

The design details.

The HammerCat 35 is the first model of the next generation of power catamarans. The design concept was to pencil an elegant, fast, fuel efficient and modern power catamaran in the mid 30’ range.

The impressive “Carolina bow” gives the impression of a much larger vessel. Around Fort Lauderdale, people call the HammerCat 35 'The Beast' as it is so impressive and commands attention and authority. The substantial raised bow (5' / 150cm of the water!) allows for a dry ride at superior speeds even in adverse conditions.

There is a (removable) marlin door in between the engines with a bathing ladder incorporated into the bridge deck. The stern of the vessel has a cut-out just in front of the engines (underside of the hull). This feature allows for faster backing up / reverse following the fish once the big one is hooked and assures clean water over the propellors when underway.

The tunnel / bridge-deck on the HammerCat 35 is significantly higher as compared to other power catamarans, not only does this ensure a softer ride as there is much less slamming but this also reduces any “front splash”, water that is coming back from the inside tunnel towards the bow. The HammerCat 35 also features a "splash guard", a chine with a negative angle under the bridge-deck which pushes any front-splash down, and thus prevents slapping / coughing in between the 2 hulls. The bridge clearance when underway is almost 2’/60cm. While standing on the dock, you can view the underside of the HammerCat from stern to bow. The underwater body also features "double steps" which generate aeration (air cushions) under the hull while traveling at high speed and assure a very comfortable ride.

We paid particular attention to the weight distribution. Catamarans don’t like weight in the bow / stern of the yacht. Our fuel and water tanks are located at the COG (center of gravity), ensuring a smooth and flat ride.

The HammerCat 35 will get on a “plane” on one single 350HP engine and run up to almost 25 mph. We added 2 x towing eyes at the waterline on the bow as some larger yachts appreciate the features of the HammerCat 35 and use it as a multi-functional tender.

The design features in combination with the high-tech light weight construction make it amply clear why the HammerCat 35 truly is "the next generation power catamaran".

Unique features of the HammerCat 35

Deck: The deck design has its background in commercial fishing for both efficiency and a no-nonsense approach. The stern features a marlin door (and folding swimming ladder under the bridge deck) in the center and two large 65 gallons cooler boxes on each corner (which can be set up as live bait wells with the optional Seachest). The advantage of placing the coolers / bait wells on the corners is the added depth on the corners of the boat as opposed to restriction of placing a bait well on the centerline. The deck also features 2 x forward fish boxes with a length of 8’ and 2 x 7' aft fish boxes. All fish-boxes are insulated, and the drain point is above the waterline, which eliminates the need for pump out or macerator systems. The deck is slightly cambered side to side, and also features a 3-degree slope front-to-aft to allow for any water to flow off easily.

Helm station: The lay out of the helm station allows for 2 x 24” MFD screens (unheard of for a 35’) and has flat areas for storage of phones & sunglasses. Inside the helm station is space for an optional electric fresh water flushing head. Three Llebroc sport seats with folding bolsters ensure a comfortable ride. The aft facing workstation has a large work area (with sink) and space for storage / tackle box. Forward of the helm station is a double seat with, the starboard side is set up as an insulated cooler. The helm station is covered by a standard carbon fiber hardtop and integrated "rocket launcher" for 8 rods.

Foredeck: Coffin box or U-shaped settee The HammerCat 35 can be ordered with an open fore-deck, a coffin box / lounger or a U-shaped settee.

The hardtop of the HammerCat 35 measures 10’ x 12’ and weighs just 150 Lbs., so there is no weight high up which can influence the ride in offshore conditions. The hardtop is much larger & wider than on most other center consoles so you and your crew are protected from the sun / elements.

Invincible 35 Catamaran: 2020 Boat Buyers Guide

Updated: December 16, 2019

Whether applied to its original (and refreshed) 36 Open Fisherman, or its recently launched 35 Catamaran, Invincible proclaims itself maker of “the fastest, driest and best-riding open fishermen ever built.”

That’s big, when 73 percent of offshore center-console survey respondents call brand reputation key to the value of their boat, and 80 percent peg a soft, solid rough-water ride as central to performance.

Invincible’s patented monohull, designed by naval architect Michael Peters, boasts one of the lowest drag coefficients of any. Its air-fed tunnel attains higher speeds with lower power, and a more stable ride—while maintaining maneuverability—for comfortable, dry adventures even in rough seas.

Some of the monohull’s best features are echoed in Invincible catamarans, with the additional stability of the patent-pending hybrid semi-asymmetric multihull design of Morrelli & Melvin. Like a monohull, these cats heel into turns, avoiding the pronounced “lean-out” roll and instability Invincible sees in competitors.

In either format, central to the fishing experience is Invincible’s single-level deck, and 360-degree walk-around fishability.

Features include generous underdeck storage and angled leaning-post housing coolers. A sturdy, optional hardtop is ready to receive outriggers, a spotlight and an infrared imaging camera. Under it, a main helm is arranged to provide confident control under rough conditions and accommodate large electronics. In the sponsons are insulated boxes designed specifically to fit wahoo and kingfish without bending their tails.

35 Catamaran

Invincible’s new 35-foot catamaran joins its new-last-summer 37-foot cat, and the 40-footer that premiered at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show two seasons ago.

The 35 was designed to meet requests for the stability and space efficiency of the 40, in a smaller, easier-to-handle -package. It boasts more deck space than a comparable 39-foot monohull.

Several power options, in twins or quads, are balanced to maintain a perfect running angle without requiring extra negative trim or ballast.

Double-livewell storage is plenty for the 95 percent of offshore CC anglers who head off with a couple dozen baits or fewer. (Only 4 percent say they need more than two livewells, and a full two-thirds would be happy with just one.)

Seating options include a new console coffin-box seat available across the Invincible catalog.

Survey Says: On Target

⋅Options for plenty of gunwale and console rod holders

⋅Generous fish-box storage

⋅Livewells meet or exceed demands of 95 percent of CC anglers

⋅Speed to fishing grounds and stability at anchor

⋅Speed and ride in any condition

⋅Same Invincible performance, smaller package

2020 Invincible Boats 35 Catamaran

By Boating Tech Team
Updated: December 11, 2019

Invincible Boats 35 Catamaran running shot

The 35 Catamaran is the third multihull model to emerge from Invincible Boats in as many years, making it clear that this boatbuilder is fully committed to cats.

Engineered by design firm Morrelli & Melvin, the 35 Cat hull knifes smoothly through rough seas. Morrelli & Melvin’s patent-pending hybrid semi-asymmetrical multihull, which is exclusive to -Invincible, allows the boat to corner with an inward lean.

Powered by four Mercury Verado 300 hp V-8 outboards, the 35 Cat reached 30 mph in 9 seconds and a top speed of 71.5 mph at 5,600 rpm. Optimal fuel efficiency occurred at 3,500 rpm and 40 mph, where the outboards burned 39 gallons per hour for 1.03 mpg.

With a beam that carries well forward and a level diamond nonskid sole throughout, this center-console cat maximizes deck space. A pressurized 65-gallon livewell resides in the middle of the transom, with a second 70-gallon deck well on the starboard-side, to carry gobs of bait. A pair of pump boxes, each equipped with two Rule 1500 pumps, deliver air-free water. Four cavernous in-sole fish boxes provide plenty of space for ice and fish. A portside dive door with boarding ladder eases reboarding after a dip and lets you slide aboard a big tuna or swordfish.

Our test boat was equipped with three-across helm seating, an aft-facing seat for three abaft the helm seats (with an insulated cooler underneath), and a seat for two on the forward console (with another cooler below). The padded top and backrest of the optional coffin-box cooler (lined on each side with five rod holders) on the foredeck doubles as a lounger for two. In the stern, you’ll find two jump seats—one in each corner—that quickly fold away.

A pair of Garmin GPSMap 8617 multifunction touchscreen displays on our test boat allowed easy access to the chirp sonar, chart plotter and more. The hardtop with integral full-height windshield and side windows offers outstanding weather protection, and the console interior with 51 inches of headroom provides privacy for changing or utilizing the electric head.

High Points

⋅Hybrid asymmetrical multi-hull design offers a smooth ride, confident cornering and an impressive turn of speed.

⋅Copious rod stowage thanks to racks along the console, transom, hardtop, seating and module, as well as along the gunwales.

⋅Abundant standard seating, plus the option to add even more with bow seating.

⋅Optional JL Audio 10-speaker/two-subwoofer sound system lets you rock the waves.

⋅Coaming pads encircle the interior to cushion thighs and knees in rough conditions.

GEMINI LEGACY 35

Specifications
View Catamarans

Made in America since 1981, the Gemini Legacy has proven to be the most family-friendly performance cruising catamaran in the world, and the reasons are obvious;

A 34 inch draft that allows the boat to be pulled up right next to a beach or anchored in small, protected coves.
A 14 foot beam, which means the boat can be trucked anywhere in the country, hauled out of the water with a standard size travel lift and kept in a standard size slip.
Costing no more than an average mid-size monohull, the Gemini Legacy 35 has more interior volume than most 40-foot monohulls.
Fast, level sailing. Imagine moving along at wind speed with virtually no heeling. your drink stays on the table and you stay comfortably reclined in your seat. Plus, with the upgraded engine option, you can get home quicker after sailing too.
Fast, family friendly, easy to maneuver, and affordable.

All the reasons this boat has been an American Legacy since 1981. The Gemini Legacy 35 is the most successful cruising catamaran ever built.

The best catamarans you can buy between 30 and 70 feet in the united states..

Sailing catamarans are great cruising and bluewater boats. Although the sailing principles are the same for both catamarans and monohulls , there are many advantages to safety and comfort with sailing catamarans. Among the advantages of owning a catamaran are level sailing, speed, shallow draft, and no roll at anchor. Catamarans are superior to monohulls in terms of redundancy thanks to twin engines and twin rudders. Popular catamaran brands include Excess , Sunreef , Leopard , Lagoon , and Seawind .

Best Catamaran Sailboats | Life of Sailing

The appeal of the catamaran sailboats in terms of speed , stability, and the ability to embark on long-range cruising has made them hugely popular with today's sailors. But what are the best catamaran sailboats?

Even though catamaran sailboats have become increasingly popular in the last few years, they have a truly rich legacy as one of the most sought after vessels for bluewater cruising.

Thanks to their incredibly wide beams and bigger daft, catamarans have become remarkably favorable for sailors looking to go for long-distance voyages, overnight cruising, and day sailing.

And if space is paramount for you when out there on the water, a catamaran sailboat is the only way to go as they offer extraordinary space to allow you to spend more time on the water with friends and family.

But even with all these amazing features, you're probably still wondering; what are the best catamaran sailboats?

Like their monohull counterparts, choosing the best catamaran sailboat can be quite overwhelming since there are lots of them out there. They come in a wide variety of designs and sizes ranging from small catamarans to huge ones.

The best catamaran sailboats can easily clock 250-mile voyages, offer incredible performance, and have layouts that can be easily optimized for individuals, charter markets, and great accommodation. In essence, the best catamaran sailboats offer respectable performance and offer good load-carrying ability.

That being said, here are some of the best catamaran sailboats that you can get your hands on.

Table of contents

Best Catamarans

Even though many multihulls are no longer built in the United States these days, the Manta 42 is a true American-built catamaran that brings good living and good value into one package. Designed cleverly for easy handling, this American built catamaran is a great choice for a liveaboard cruiser for sailors looking to go for long-distance voyages. Thanks to its trademark high bows and an enormously curved incorporated forward crossbeam, this catamaran is easily recognizable even from a distance.

It is designed with a uniquely fixed crossbeam, which is very different from conventional aluminum cross beams that support the tension of the forestay. This fixed crossbeam allows for a little bit of movement thereby helping in absorbing enormous twisting forces of the bows. As such, you have to keep in mind that there may be resultant stress crack particularly in the bow area of the vessel.

All in all, the Manta 42 is a superb offshore cruising catamaran that offers a good sail-area-to-displacement ratio as well as plenty of space and accommodation. The cockpit area is refined, luxurious, and is designed with additional stainless pushpit contraptions to help in holding objects such as wind vanes, dinghies, and solar panels. The boat's quality in terms of performance and stability is the benchmark of what a catamaran should be.

Fountaine Pajot Elba 45

Recently named the "Boat of the Year" for 2019 by Cruising World Magazine and Sail Magazine, the Elba 45 is the latest model in the incredible line of Fountaine Pajot catamarans. This boat was designed to replace the outgoing Helia 44 and stands to be one of the most popular catamarans with Fountain Pajot having sold over 100 Elba 45 hulls long before even the first one emerged from production.

This French-built cat brings to the fore a well-thought-out, safe, and dependable features with 10% less drag, efficient motoring, top-notch performance, and high speeds. It's also designed with fixed stub keels and slightly aft-raked bows, which are all essential in enhancing windward performance; something that most catamarans struggle with.

To improve on safety, the keels of this amazing catamaran sailboat are glued into a particularly designed recess in the hulls. This is to ensure that there are no keel bolts that can rip out and put the boat in danger if the boat gets grounded or in the event of a collision. The rig is also ICW friendly and is a true representation of a standard catamaran setup.

This is, without a doubt, a modern-looking cruising catamaran that has a low-profile lounging space on its deck, high topsides and bows as well as a more pronounced reverse sheer that's essential in minimizing the bulk of the windows while creating additional and useful volume below. This is a true catamaran that occupies a sweet spot for those looking to sail along the bay or for those adventurous sailors looking to set sail for more ambitious offshore cruising plans.

With its fine design, straightforward systems, and easy handling, the Leopard 48 has everything it needs to be ranked among the distinguished category of the best catamaran sailboats. This is an excellent multihull that is structured with advanced materials, designs, and innovations that are meant to be fun, spacious, and comfortable.

Designed in South Africa by Simonis-Voogd, is probably the best design in the Leopard family of catamarans. Its two hulls are vacuum-bagged using balsa core to offer maximum firmness while ensuring that the weight is on the minimum. This is done by articulately regulating the level of resin in the layup. With such types of hull shapes, this catamaran sailboat is very fast and can consistently clock 12 knots of speed against the currents.

The boat is also designed with shallow keels as they're filled with closed-cell polyurethane foam that's of great importance in increasing buoyancy and preventing water ingress. To enhance the safety of the vessel, the stern and bow both have bulkheads that are essential in keeping out that water if the sailboat is involved in a collision.

The hulls of this boat are deep and narrow, particularly below the waterline. They also curve higher up to practically reduce the wetted surface area while offering enough deck space and plenty of room for accommodations. Its cockpit is another excellent feature thanks to its lavish spaces that give you the chance of kicking back and relaxing.

This boat is designed to offer superior livability, quick and easy to handle features, as well as enough space for friends and family. It is designed with beautiful lines and immense practicality for those who want to go on long cruising voyages.

Antares 44i

While many people often believe that voluminous cruising catamarans should be used as charter boats, the Antares 44i brings a very different perspective altogether. Designed in Argentina as a complete bluewater catamaran, this is a boat that's specifically built for private boat owners looking for a sturdy and well-equipped bluewater cruiser. This is an absolutely gorgeous catamaran that has a fully-equipped cockpit just to ensure that you can safely operate it even when shorthanded.

Like most catamarans, the Antares 44i is designed with features that allow for long-distance voyages. It comes with a minimum bridge deck clearance of 30 inches, which is essential in mitigating bridge deck slap. The helm station is designed to offer excellent visibility over the coach roof without having to perch the helmsman high above the cockpit.

If you're planning to make those long-distance cruising to exotic places, you'll appreciate this boat's layout. The galley is put down in the port hull so that it doesn't compromise the size of the galley and the saloon. The forward-facing navigation station is up there with the best and is up to offshore standards. And that's not all; the Antares 44i comes with good mounting points for electronics, a large table, comfortable seats, and provides brilliant visibility outside.

This boat is perfectly suited for extended offshore cruising and is a great reminder for anyone who thinks that all catamarans are charter boats and all offshore boats are monohulls.

Designed by Philipe Pouvreau in northern Brazil, the Dolphin Ocema 42 is a truly unique catamaran sailboat that goes against the conventional norm of catamarans. It is equipped with daggerboards, which are essential in enabling it to point higher on the wind while reducing the wetted surface when running or anchoring in shallow surfaces. This, however, requires a higher level of expertise in sailing. This is because lifting the daggerboards higher up will expose the rudders while the daggerboards can also interfere with the hulls in the event that the vessel runs aground.

But even with that, the Dolphin 42 balances incredible performance and cruising comfort in a very compact package; something that is not very easy in bluewater cruising. That's why it's designed using a foam core to make it lightweight by reducing weight wherever possible. This vessel will most likely never let you down if you want to circumnavigate the bluewater on a high-performance boat that is safe and comfortable.

So if you've been looking for a real sailing catamaran that doubles up as a very comfortable liveaboard sailboat , look no further than the Dolphin 42.

Regarded as the best built and most stylish cruising multihull, the Catana 50 is a very huge catamaran sailboat. Measuring about 50 feet long with a beam of about 26 feet, this is an amazing catamaran that will test your sailing skills as a single sailor or if you're planning to sail shorthanded.

This boat is designed with a rig that gives you the option of using either a screecher or a self-tending jib. This may seem complex since the sheets are led to winches near each wheel while all other controls lead to a centerline winch that's located in the cockpit. But even with that, this sailboat can be easily tacked once on the course.

This is a real performance-oriented catamaran with efficient hulls and rigs allowing for top speed. This vessel is also designed with a long waterline and a subtle underwater shape at the bow to help in increasing volume while minimizing wave drag. The stern platforms can help in stretching the waterline length while also providing easy access from a dock or a dinghy. The board trunks are also very strong and sturdy to protect the integrity of the hulls if a collision occurs.

In essence, this is a very modern catamaran that's designed to safely make long-distance passages with ease. It is subdued in terms of styling but this doesn't mean that it falls short as far as performance is concerned.

Atlantic 42

Designed in 1993, the A42 has cultivated a legion of fiercely loyal fans thanks to its efficiency and aesthetic. This is the smallest of the Atlantic cruising catamaran line and is hugely popular with sailors thanks to its ease of handling, ocean-going capabilities, and superb use of space. From the forward cockpit, pilothouse to the sleeping cabins, and brilliant galleys everything about this cat is a true classic.

Unlike most catamarans, the Atlantic 42 is designed with a waist-high cockpit that's located forward of the pilothouse just behind the mast. It brings forth a solid construction thanks to the large metal girder-like bearers that run across the bulkheads. This helps the vessel in having the utmost strength, better air circulation under the engine, and a high level of flexibility as far as the size of the engine and its positioning is concerned.

Initially, the boat's style and its outlook were considered conservative but it soon became clear that it is built of high-quality materials and to last. The internal construction of the boat is impressive, to say the least. The exterior looks very beautiful and perhaps much more beautiful than most boats today. Its large aft cabin accommodation is a top drawer while the space separating en suite heads and shower compartments are considered a bonus.

If you were to board the French-built Fountaine Pajot Bahia 46, you'll agree that the high-quality of workmanship, layout, and efficient use of space is quite exciting, to say the least. This cat remains very popular among sailors thanks to its easy handling features and incredible performance under the sails. Well, this may not come as a surprise to many of us given that the Fountain Pajot is known for building some of the most remarkable cruising catamarans out there that it can be quite overwhelming to narrow down to a single vessel, but the Bahia 46 simply stands out.

This vessel is designed with hulls that are broader than those of many other catamarans. It's also designed with centerboards and daggerboards that are meant to enhance its performance. These are essential in minimizing draft while ensuring reliability, generous bilge, and in helping to protect the rudders and propellers.

This boat is big enough to manage any type of serious offshore sailing. This is one of the best cruising catamarans for anyone looking for the right vessel for long-distance sailing. This vessel has a very more generous rig than most cruising catamarans, which is essential in enhancing its performance. The six-post Bimini is very strong and clean and can perfectly hold dinghies.

In terms of its look, the Bahia 36 is designed with gorgeous lines with the deck and hulls sculpted with lines that add a touch of elegance to the overall look of an already excellent catamaran sailboat.

Gemini 105MC

Whether you're looking for a comfortable catamaran vessel to take you for a weekend sailing trip or a long sabbatical vacation on the oceans, the Gemini 105MC is a very satisfactory liveaboard catamaran vessel that offers spacious accommodation, thoughtful design, and a stable cruising platform for anyone who wants to have some good time on the water.

Designed by the legendary Tony Smith, this is somewhat a sailing cottage. Like a land cottage, it is cozy, comfortable, and very safe. This is essentially a 35 feet catamaran that offers great value for any sailing looking for a reasonably-priced catamaran sailboat for the weekend or holiday cruising.

This boat is designed with incredibly slim hulls, which are teardrop-shaped with flat bottoms and smaller wetted surface area. This is to ensure that drag is minimized and to lead to more leeway under sail. Each of the boat's hull is designed with a kick-up centerboard is of great importance in enhancing the vessel's windward pointing capability. This boat also has its rudders raised to enable it to seamlessly cruise in shallow waters where most vessels would otherwise run aground.

The eccentric narrow beam, which measures about 40% of the boat's length, is very different from today's 50%. However, its low center helps in keeping its stable, upright, and of course, safe.

Lagoon 450 F

If you're looking for a catamaran sailboat that offers prestige at its peak, look no further than the Lagoon 450. This cat is widely known for offering an all-around comfort without compromising its beauty, spaciousness, class, and elegance. This is an elaborate French catamaran that brings to the table fantastic craftsmanship while leaving nothing to chance.

This is a very safe 45 feet catamaran that's not just comfortable but also very luxurious. The deck layout is centered on an amazing flybridge, which has been redesigned and redefined to offer both the traditional and modern outlook. You can very easily access the bridge, engine controls, steering station in a matter of seconds. As a result, this boat is efficiently designed to give you the ultimate control of almost every situation while on the water.

The spacious and luxurious interior of this boat is worth experiencing. The cabins and saloons are perfectly lit. We're talking about four to six cabins, eight to twelve berths, and up to four bathrooms. In essence, this boat can comfortably sleep eight to twelve people. This boat is designed to offer ultra-modern accommodations and amenities that come with little but amazing touches; all designed to make your life inside the catamaran enjoyable.

An original performance catamaran cruiser from the iconic Gunboat manufacturer, the Gunboat 62 has truly cemented its place as one of the best catamaran sailboats to ever grace the oceans. Honestly speaking, this cat-inspired a whole range of other incredible boats including HH66 Catamaran and the Balance 526.

This is a boat that can perform admirably well in storms with a speed of over 35 knots despite being built using epoxy and E-glass with carbon-fiber structural components. It's designed with a distinct angular outline than most catamaran sailboats of its size and category. This is a vessel that was built for people looking to add more stuff and more gear for their voyages. In other words, you can have all the gear and equipment on this boat and still outperform a racing monohull of the same size.

Thanks to its lightweight feature, this vessel can sail upwind at speeds of over 17 knots and pinch up to 30 degrees. Just for comparison, the Gunboat 62 can tack through 95 degrees and still outperform the best racing monohulls. This boat is designed with a comfortable helm seat that offers 360-degree visibility as well as plenty of storage space, a functional working surface, and a luxurious cabin. Like many performance catamarans, the Gunboat 62 can attain about 20 knots if the conditions are right.

Privilege 615

Combining elegance, comfort, and style, the Privilege 615 is a lovely catamaran sailboat that seems to be always ready for a long offshore voyage. The roots of this incredible cat can be traced back to the 1980s when Philippe Jeantot opened up a boat-building company in France. As one of the best productions from the company, the privilege 615 sports a flybridge that comes complete with twin wheels, a sprawling sunbed, and other excellent features that will make your bluewater cruising a breeze.

Whether you want the charter version or a privately-owned version, the Privilege 615 is one of the most versatile catamaran sailboats. Step inside this vessel and you'll instantly notice the quality of the wood finish and the elegance of design. The advanced navigation station is not only ultra-modern but is perfectly stationed at a dedicated corner where you can control everything while still having a conversation with your friends and family.

This boat comes with multiple sleeping configurations to ensure that you and your guests can live aboard the boat for months on end. Although the boat appears like some sort of maze on the inside, you'll easily get used to it when you enter the forward section. That's not all; this boat has gorgeous lines that make the exterior beautiful just like the interior. Its sleek profile, incredible volume, and versatile interior make it one of the best catamaran sailboats out there.

There you have it; these are the best catamaran sailboats out there. It doesn't matter the one you choose, these cats will make your day out on the water and will serve you just right for your offshore voyages or for day sailing along the bays.

I've personally had thousands of questions about sailing and sailboats over the years. As I learn and experience sailing, and the community, I share the answers that work and make sense to me, here on Life of Sailing.

2022 Boat of the Year: Best Cruising Catamaran (Over 50’)

By Cruising World Editors
December 15, 2021

During and in the four days immediately following the US Sailboat show in Annapolis, Maryland, the Cruising World judges inspected and sailed on 27 boats vying for recognition. Learn more about the boats in our 2022 Boat of the Year »

Are they really all-around cruising sailboats, or are they luxurious and large party platforms that are best-suited for crewed charter vacations in tropical settings? That was once a fair, probing question to ask of the builders knocking off long, tall, beamy vessels balanced on a pair of cabin-filled hulls. But no longer. Despite their respective girths and displacements, not to mention a wide variety of windspeeds and sea states, this quartet of full-size cats performed admirably across the board in this year’s BOTY sea trials. Yes, they now truck along like good, honest sailboats. All that room is icing on the cake. At the end of the day, however, it’s how that space is utilized that separates the king and the contenders.

Destined almost exclusively for the charter trade, the judges believed the Voyage 590 would truly excel in that role, so much so that they ultimately recognized it with a special award as the year’s Best Charter Boat. But that didn’t mean they did not consider it an innovative, exciting vessel on its total merits. “It’s a ‘techie’ boat, and they’re doing a lot of cool things with lithium batteries and 24-volt systems,” judge Ed Sherman said. “In terms of systems integration, they’re using high-end inverters to help out with things like variable-speed air-conditioning systems so they won’t have to run generators for extended periods of times. It’s pretty cool stuff. And under power, it’s one of the quietest boats we tested. High marks all around!”

Lagoon Catamarans, as most multihull sailors know, was one of the era’s true pioneers in the evolving world of cruising cats. Their new Lagoon Sixty 5 is another vessel that, not unlike the Voyage 590, will find plenty of duty in the serious business of having fun: in other words, the charter business. And it would be hard to find a better vessel for doing precisely that. The focal point of the boat, on multiple levels, is the epic flybridge, a feature that Lagoon first explored on a big cat with the firm’s 620 but which they have fully realized on this massive 67-footer. It utilizes a pair of steering stations, which are handy indeed given the beam of the yacht. The overhead Bimini sports a glass window for trimming the mainsail, a welcome and innovative addition. Sofas, wet bar, grill, fridge: all combined, they ask an important question, one that strikes to the heart of the boat’s clear purpose. Why would you ever go below?

In many respects, Fountaine Pajot was unquestionably another pioneer in the realm of production cruising cats, and it’s been fascinating to watch the company evolve. Tim Murphy has had a ringside seat for much of that decades-long evolution. “It’s been interesting to watch their trajectory over the years,” he said. “They started out as a very performance-oriented manufacturer. So, a lot of their thinking is about keeping weight out of their boats and creating cats that are going to perform well. Now they’re more in a market that’s moved in the direction of accommodation, and we’ve watched them transition in that direction. But speed and elegance remain important, as shown here.” A key selling point in the Samana 59 is the versatility offered in the several optional interior layouts. A pair of Maestro versions incorporate a roomy, stellar owner’s suite. But for full-on chartering, who could resist the six (!) double cabins with, of course, a half-dozen accompanying heads.

When all was said and done, though, the judges couldn’t help but honor the efforts behind the Xquisite X5 Plus ; it must be noted that, unlike its competitors in the class, chartering wasn’t part of the design brief. This is a dedicated cruising cat, through and through. And there’s much to like about this 53-foot South African-built product. For judge Tim Murphy, the important details weren’t necessarily the ones you could easily see, but rather the ones you couldn’t. “What I was most struck by on our tour of the boat was actually the service side of the whole equation,” he said. “There are 40,000 man-hours invested in this boat. And you can see it—those are solid hours of labor. One thing that was pointed out were two different marks on the heads of bolts showing they were torqued. And part of the Xquisite program is they spend two weeks with each owner, training them up with systems. All told, this is really one strong product.”

Judge Ed Sherman agreed: “The business model here is exemplary. What they’re really doing is emulating the high-end automotive market. I think they looked at the automotive sector for high-end cars like BMW and Mercedes and said, ‘OK, this sounds good, it looks good, and we’re going to do it, too.’ And they are. So, I think that that aspect of his business plan where they’re training the owners and then doing things like loading the boat up with spare parts as part of the original purchase, I mean, hats off to them. It’s a great way to go. How can you argue against it?”

“I couldn’t find anything that was done halfway,” said Gerry Douglas. “It was done better than you’d expect it to be, just because they wanted the boat to be perfect. And the quality of construction is excellent. It’s an infused hull but with a hand-laminated deck because there’s so many very tight corners and cavities. They didn’t think they could infuse that without adding a whole lot of weight. And I get that. So, they would hand laminate it, which makes sense when you have some of the very sharp corners that exist on that boat. It was all just perfectly done.”

Sometimes coming to a decision is hard. Sometimes it’s obvious. And when the votes were tallied, it was the Xquisite X5 Plus that was the obvious choice as Best Cruising Catamaran (Over 50’) for 2022.

CATAMARAN 35 à 40 PIEDS ?

Bonjour à tous, Nouveau sur le forum...

En préparation d'un projet de départ vers 2012, je recherche des avis destinés à m'aider à mieux cadrer ma recherche (en occasion)concernant le bateau avec lequel nous partirons.

En quelques mots voici notre programme, et notre philosophie :

Plaisir de la découverte, plaisir des escales, nombreux mouillages, navigations en sécurité y compris en zone hauturière, confort à bord basé sur une efficacité rationnelle des équipements. Zone méditerrannée dans un premier temps, Iles grecques, Turquie... Tout est possible ensuite, selon nos ressentis et notre plaisir...

Le catamaran nous tente (Nous naviguons en mono à ce jour), mais il nous intrigue aussi mais ses réputations de stabilité délicates.

Un 35 Pieds (genre Tobago 35)semble suffire côté espace, mais serait-il fiable en haute mer ? Un Lagoon 380 semble immense ; est-il plus marin ? Notre budget bateau (équipement "voyage" inclus) sera limité aux environs des 130 à 150000 E.

si le coeur vous en dit, merci d'échanger vos expériences de cata (notamment en navigation hauturière, mer formée, vent fort...) et de donner vos avis sur les cata inférieurs à 38 pieds... Pour le reste ...(apéro au mouillage, on imagine fort bien !)

merci Michel

ah ah le cata , big génial ; je dirais , pour la med un 35 pieds suffit , pour plus loin , mini 38/40 pieds pour le passage en mer et son confort . aprés de toute facon ton budget passe pas mais attention au frais d un plus grand et du coté physique qq photos sur notre blog

budget passe pas ? Merci Tropicat - Joli blog au passage - je vais y retourner tranquillement !

Je vois des occasions de cata 38 ou 39 vers les 120000/130000 E, y en a pas beaucoup c'est vrai... J'en vois davantage dans les 150/180000 E et je me dis que d'ici 2ans ces bateaux devraient se retrouver dans ma fourchette de prix... Je rêverais ?

cool j'ai lu le bouquin du capitaine Hervé = très bel ouvrage ! excellent !

Bon... côté prix en effet çà devrait le faire. Reste à cerner "la bête"... Et ce n'est pas facile ayant eu jusqu'à présent le regard orienté totalement vers les monocoques.

L'ouverture Cata parait séduisante par le confort et les volumes disponibles, l'option multicoque est prise, mais l'offre est vraiment disparate.

Du Dean au Nautitech, vu de loin çà se ressemble, mais ... vu de très loin seulement...

Le chantier Catana me semble orienté dans ses options de constructeur davantage vers la croisière hauturière et le voyage que la location tout en restant dans des prix envisageables

Selon ton expérience du marché ce serait quoi le chapeau des quelques noms de chantier et type de catas qui correspondraient à notre cahier des charges ?

benol le model a petit roof , oblige a sortir dehors pour rentrer dans les cabines

OUTREMER 40 Je constate que les outremers ont une bonne réputation, mais ceux que je vois à la vente sont nettement au dessus de ma fourchette de prix... Et c'est vrai que leur nacelle parait toute petite

Par ailleurs est-ce que quelqu'un connait plus précisément le CATANA 381 ?

Merci pour ce tour d'horizon.

En effet je reviens souvent sur le lagoon 380 qui finalement semble bien réunir un peu tous les critères de mon cahier des charges. C'est juste que je n'aime pas son look de destroyer... Faut vraiment que je fasse un effort.

Ou alors je pense à l'athéna 38 de FP qui me semble pas mal (par rapport à mes critères bien sûr).

Ton expérience sur Orana 44 n'est pas transposable à toute la gamme Fountaine. Les bateaux plus anciens sont costauds et marins. Là depuis quelques années j'ai l'impression qu' ils sont partis dans le "tape à l'oeil"...

On peut le dire, il s'agit de Régis Guillemot Charter qui vient de recevoir 10 Lagoon 380. Il a eu des conditions exceptionnelles en termes de prix et par ailleurs, cela lui permet de viser une nouvelle clientèle, celle des jeunes sans gros moyens qui partent à 10 sur ces bateaux. Ceci n'entache en rien son attachement à FP, il vient également de recevoir le tout nouveau Hélia 44, successeur de l'Orana dans la gamme.

Quant à se débarrasser de sa flotte FP, il n'a mis aucun bateau à vendre et conserve l'intégralité de sa flotte FP.

Pour avoir naviguer sur Athéna38, Lavezzi40, Marquise 53 je ne suis pas d'accord pour dire que ce sont de mauvais bateau.

Avec les deux premier, j'ai fait de la location, les bateaux avaient bien vieillit, avec le Marquise, je suis monté au dessus du pole Nord en hiver dans des conditions pas toujours facile, et le bateau passe bien et ne tape pas.

Que les loueurs préfèrent les lagoon car plus de confort pour la location est une chose, mais un propriétaire visant un cata de 40' cherchera aussi des qualités nautiques.

Le choix n'est pas facile, mais une semaine de location sur les prétendants peuvent aider à la décision.

OK, tu as eu des problémes avec un Orana, mais rien ne te permet de généraliser. Tu ne constitues pas une statistique.

A quoi joues-tu et quel est ton intérêt dans ce dénigrement ? Quand on regarde ta fiche, tu es un anonyme, peut-être es-tu intéressé dans la vente d'autres bateaux...

Merci d'enlever ta fausse harbe.

OK, OK. De par mon activité, il m'arrive que des loueurs me demandent de prendre un bateau neuf qui vient de traverser pendant 2 ou 3 jours.

Je reviens avec 2 ou 3 pages d'incidents, dysfonctionnements, équipements mal foutus, etc...

Et ceci s'applique malheureusement à tous les constructeurs, même les plus chers et les plus prestigieux. Je citerais Nautitech, Lagoon, FP, Catana.

Mais, là où je ne peux te suivre, il ne me viendrait pas à l'idée de généraliser et d'affirmer que tous les modèles d'un constructeur X sont de la m..., surtout sur un forum public.

Comme le dit la sagesse populaire, tout ce qui est excessif n'a pas de valeur.

Je me suis un peu emballé ; le cercle polaire.

non ça va baisser , sur le marin aux antilles , capitainehervé me disait qu il y avait 40 catas a la vente . dans ton budget , tu vas trouver . sur la metropole les problemes de place de port et de prix pour un multi on évidament freiné le nombre d unités

peut etre un outremer 40 rallonge a 43 avec les jupes un excellent bateau dans ta fourchette de prix et qqui marche vraiment tres bien seul bemol c'est une carene que l'on ne doit pas chargee beaucoup en plus il y a pas beaucoup de place pour le rangement pra rapport a d'autres cata de meme taille de memoire je crois que c'est une tonne te demi le maxi admissible par architecte en poids de chargement mais ce modele la est ds tes prix..et les catas ne perdront certainement pas 30 000 unites en deux ans.. aamicalement eric

quoique j en avais visité un il y a longtemps , il me semble que l on pouvait passer quand meme par l interieur

re salut a Ciaociao Je n'ai pas l'expérience d'un navigateur comme toi. La voile, connaissais rien qd j'ai pris la décision de partir en TdM. Bon pour moi le mono, peu spacieux, penché, barreur tou mouillé plein de sel.. bof.. Alors pour faire un choix j'ai fait presque tous les salons importants, visité les principaux constructeurs... donc voilà mon résumé bien personnel qui n'engage que moi: Les rapides: Catana: j'ai trouvé l'habitat très moyen, le pilotage qd tu rentre dans un port par exemple, visibilité devant proche de zéro ! Question d'habite on m'a dit.. faudra dire ça à mon assureur ou aux gens qui traversent comme des fous sous les tropiques... Quant à la vitesse... je suis convaincu que... ça fait cher du noeud en plus ! . Outremer, 10mn après que je soies ds les bureaux, on m'avait descendu tous les concurrents... Quant au bateau, j'ai l'impression qu'il faut etre tres petits et pas nombreux.. En résumé, pour moi ces bateaux, certes plus rapides et surtout plus légers, vont plus vite que les autres Mais, qd on les charge pour un tour du monde,ça n'avance plus !!! . le léopard c'est pas mal Mais j'accroche pas . Fountaine Pageot.. pour avoir traversé l'atlantique sur un Orana 44 de 1 an, avec son propriétaire comme skipper, je sais que JAMAIS, je n'achèterai Fountaine... . Nautitech pas mal du tout. Très sérieux. gros confort. Je n'aime pas la barre près des jupes, même si on voit mieux que sur le catana. Mais mon hoix est sur un 50 pieds mais ils font pas. Enfin le dernier pour la fin: Lagoon. un super accueil, grosses compétences (que ce soit en Métropole -Apaca où j'ai connu James Cam qui a toute ma confiance-ou aux Antilles -le super boss Hubert Tanguy plus que digne de confiance !- J'adore le fly-bridge, j'ai voyagé sur un 440 de 6 ans d'age.. comme neuf.. la marque est présente partout in the world... ces bateaux acceptent la charge... et super confort ! coté performances ça me va très bien, je n'ai plus peur des enfants à bord ni des amis non amarinés... Bref la confiance étant, mon choix est fait.. De toute façon, suffit de voir le nombre de bateaux de cette marque qui voyagent autour du monde, du 380 aux autres, sauf le 420 qui est(pour moi) un joujou cotier Voilà le résultat des investigations du néophyte que je suis... L'avenir nous dira si j'ai eu raison ou tort..

je maintien le peu de confiance que j'ai sur les fountaine, d'autant qu'un des 3 grands loueurs mondiaux, ds une ile des caraibes (je précise pas bien sur) voulais se débarrasser de tout et passer à lagoon... a ce propos, va sur le site " vagabondsdesmers.com" et tu y verra les ginestou, super sympa en tour du monde, et ils revendent leur 380, équipé de plein d'astuces...,connaissant le coté maniaque de ces gens, je pense que c'est une superbe affaire

je parlais pas de lui mais un des 3 grands loueurs mondiaux... FP bradaient en 2009 ses bateaux à des prix dérisoires..

j'ai gardé la liste des soucis arrivés sur l'orana pendant la traversée de l'atlantique... ça fait peur.... maintenant moitessier avait un mono lourd lent et moche...et ça l'a fait

tout faux ! je ne suis qu'un amateur scandalisé par ce que j'ai vécu et je donne juste mon avis sur ce forum qui est fait pour ça...Tiens concernant cette marque, mon frère, encore plus ignorant que moi en nautisme viens de terminer une croisiere aux grenadines avec un FP... bcp d'emmerdes... je sais que certains FP d'il y a quelques années ont été bien construits .mais j'ai été scandalisé de voir tous les soucis rencontrés sur un bateau d'1 an, propriétaire, et le prix vendu ! je n'ai aucun intéret chez qui que ce soit et suis imberbe... Par contre j'ai créé , construit, vendu des produits (rien a voir avec le nautisme) pendant 40 ans et jamais je ne me suis fichu de mes clients.. c'est juste mon avis et je le partage...

je ne fais pas une généralité, bien que tout ceux que j'ai visité, essayé (seulement 7)chez FP étaient bourrés de défauts...Mais comme me disait un grand loueur et ami, nanti d'une grosse flotte de FP, certains modèles étaient de très bon bateaux, ce dont je ne doute pas... dire ce qu'on a vecu, même pour un simple client comme moi, qui n'arrive pas à la cheville du capitaine et propriétaire du cata avec lequel nous avons fait une transat n'est pas exessif mais réel.. cela dit en partant, je suis le seul a avoir fait une petite tape sur ce cata en disant " merci pépère, tu nous a quand même raméné vivant" (rnsuite j'ai failli avoir de soucis avec des infirmiers vu que je parlais à un bateau...) Etl'année suivante, j'ai loué ce même bateau pour etre à bord avec mes 3 enfants pour leur faire découvrir cette passion qui me dévore et le symbole que représente pour moi le fait d'etre sur un bateau et n'avoir que mes passager à penser et non pas un petit espace temps, moi qui faisais 14 à 16 h/ jour.. Je vais finir par un truc qui va t"énerver car ça me fait marrer: comme tu dois etre un professionnel et travailler pas mal avec FP, si par un grand élan de générosité, tu me faisais cadeau d'un FP... je le revendrai ou l'échangerai contre un autre ! :langue2:

"je suis monté au dessus du pole Nord"

C'était la version spatiale ? :-D

le catalent après avoir navigué tout ma vie en mono je suis passé au cata c'est un 28pieds dans lequel j'ai autant de place que dans un voilier classique de 12m ,deux cabines avec des lits de 1401X210 un grande salle d'eau et une cuisine digne d'un resto avec frigo et dessal 12l/H . finalement c'est un cata de voyage qui tient de bonnes moyennes voisines de 7nds ,meme le grement est facile avec l'aerorig aucun probleme cet été nous partons 3mois vers l'italie ou le vent nous menera en grand confort . le mien c'est le n°120 beaucoup ont traversé l'atlantique je joins une photo . alain

L'Athena 38, à voir On en trouve à partir de 120/130 K€ de propriétaire en état comme neuf.

Sans faire de pub pour un excellent loueur, voilà qques caractéristiques. Je connais des propriétaires très satisfaits.

Catalent en cours... RV

Athena 38 Ah oui ! exact ! sympa... Je l'avais zappé celui-là. Je vais essayer d'en voir un de plus près... merci

et toi hervé tu as trouvé ?

TOBAGO 35 Bonjour, nous habitons en martinique et avons un TOBAGO 35 que nous mettons en vente. C'est un cata très agréable , facile à naviguer et qui se comporte plutôt bien en mer. Si vous voulez en savoir plus, n'hésitez pas à me contacter....

sergio [email protected]

Merci, réponse en MP RV

par Mail Merci je réponds sur le Mail.

Salut CiaoCiao,

finalement ton choix s'est porté sur quel bateau ?

De mon côté, j'ai longuement cherché il y a 2 ans, je voulais un 40 pieds maxi et ai finalement opté pour un Belize 43.

Je ne l'ai pas payé cher , et ai pas mal investi dans un refit complet du bateau. Il est maintenant à ma main, pas mal de choses neuves dont le gréement dormant et les moteurs.

Je ne regrette pas mon choix, bcp de bonheur avec ce bateau et finalement, je le maîtrise fort bien seul. Un grand sentiment de sécurité et un excellent marcheur dans le confort.

Si vous voulez voir des photos, allez voir ma fiche et mon site.

Le Belize 43... ce serait un must... Mais quand j'en vois un à la vente, c'est (dans le meilleur des cas) autour de 200 KE... Chouette bateau, récent, mais hors budget...

À mon avis, le meilleur compromis performance/sécurité/confort/habitabilité/prix pour un cata de moins de 40', reste le Catana 381 ou 39 ( modèle plus ancien). J'ai pas mal navigué en famille, en charter et en solo sur des zones bien ventés du Cap Vert et ce bateau approche la perfection pour une navigation dans ce type de de lieu ....bien que son archi Cristophe B ai navigué en famille et au Spilzberg avec un 39. Je me sépare du mien a contre coeur, la vente sera peut être confirmée cette semaine, dans l'esprit de pouvoir le racheter à la fin de son prochain périple .....c'est vous dire ! Quelques infos sur le site qui était dédié à la vente de mon unité, mais que je compte transformer en site dédié à ce modèle avec témoignages et avis d'anciens ou d'actuels propriétaires ou utilisateurs

le 39 c est crowther l architecte et cristophe Barreau a navigué au spilzberg sur un catana 40 , diabolo qui est en N. calédonie maintenant pour ma par j ai un catana 40 de 87 .

la page s ouvre pas

trés propre et beaucoup de chose changer en 2012

Merci pour ces précisions TDM, je pensais que Diabolo était un 39 de Crowther, autant pour moi. Pour la page il faut copier et coller le lien car le il ne passe effectivement pas avec Heo.... Quel est ton avis sur ces tailles de Catana, et as tu navigué sur le 381 ? Le 40 est un plan signé Crowther, Barreau ou les 2 ???

Le 40 est un crowther le mien est le n 9 construit à cogolin en 87 j ai fait un très gros refit puis parti avec il est à Tahiti ou il y a 3 catana 40 je commais un 381 à Tahiti. .lune de miel

non jamais navigué sur un 381

EB, Je confirme, Diabolo est un 40 je l'ai skippé en charter aux caraibes au debut des années 90 avant qu'il n'aille au Spilzberg, un sacré bon cata á l'époque!... :heu:

J'ai acheté il y a un en un joli "vieux" petit cata construction amateur 88/39 pieds, 6m de large, en cp epoxy. Pour le moment à part pas mal de bricolage et quelques sorties dans les pertuis charentais je n'ai pas d'expérience de haute mer avec. Notre programme est le même que vous partir pour une grande boucle d'ici 3 ans.

Le seul intérêt de mont post est concernant le prix, car à force de chercher j'ai fini par trouver dans un budget plus que raisonnable (51k€) pour un bateau parfaitement équipé pour ce genre de nav car déja 2 A/R aux antilles. Donc si on aime un peu bricoler, je pense que votre budget est absolument jouable.

Bonne recherche donc...

dommage pas de photo du ton catamaran c est sur quelle plan ?

le plan est d'inspiration multiple (bourbon, Azulli, entre autre) d'ou les dérives et les sabots... aménagement 2 cabines doubles AR et 2 cabines mousses dans les pointes Av. Enfin bref que du bonheur depuis 1 an...

voici quelques photos

il est sympa et si en plus il vous donne le bonheur alors la c est le top bonne nav avec

A noter que le faux plan Bourbon nécessite aussi un travail de reprise d'un gros pète en mer (baleine a 10 kts, dixit V&V) et que le moteur central est fatigué. Mais effectivement, les cabines avant sont idéal pour des enfants jeunes. Sinon, dans ce budget, je pense que l'on peux trouver.ssez facilement, amis en cherchant. Perso, on a trouvé un peu plus loin que Vannes et donc bien moins cher, avec plus de travail et au lieu de faire la ballade après préparation, je ferais la ballade avant.... Si dieu me prètes vie!!

Merci TDM. Captainjas, content pour vous que vous ayez trouvé l'oiseau rare, bonnes nav.

à ceux qui ont deja "choisit" leur monture... combien de visites avez vous effectuées pour enfin trouver SON cata ?? stef

En tout et pour tout : 2 visites.

1 privilège anglais proche de l'état d'épave :( L'athena que j'ai acheté au prix du marche ... Pas une "bonne affaire" mais ce n'est pas ce que je cherchais ... Pour ça il y a le loto :)

Certainement à tord, je penses que si l'on est réellement "acheteur", il n'y a pas besoin de 100 visites ...

Cordialement,

en fait, tu as 2 critéres importants a definir: taille et ton budget la taille dépend de ton programme et du nombre de personnes que tu emmènes, si il y a des ados (planches a voile, de surf.. pour pas qu'ils trouvent que c'est chiant...) J'ai visité 1 a 2 40 pieds puis ai connu le 440 qui, avec le fly bridge, m'a profondément séduit.. quand j'ai appris que son grand frère existait, le 500, ca à été le coup de foudre mais la trouille de pas savoir mener la bete le jour où je serai seul... et question budjet, il fallait reporter mon tour du monde de 2 ans afin de trouver les sous ! Apres pour etre sur de mon choix, on se renseigne, pose beaucoup (vraiment beaucoup ) de questions à tous niveaux: des loueurs, skippers, meccanos, propriétaires.... Et tu visite que les bateaux dans cette gamme....

Ah! C'est à dire? :whaou:

Bon choix, en effet!

en fait je compte bien en visiter un max pour peut etre finalement prendre le 1er visité.... :mdr: :mdr: :acheval:

apres une 10zaine de catas visités, dont 6 sur le même model, le gagnant a été + grand que prévu car tarif nettement inférieur... et mieux préparé/équipé...

il a acheté un outremer 55

Naaannn bien + petit... 50 light bien équipé ;))

5 visites et 2 expertises pour rien.

2 expertises pour rien ? cata vendus avant ta prise de décision, ou expertises dévoilant des pbs ou trop de frais ?

1 cata avec gros pbs, l'expert est très très vite redescendu du mât et a refusé de faire un essai en mer (plus des modifs du proprio mettant en cause la solidité de la structure des coques), l'autre avec des frais que la proprio a refusé de prendre en compte, son cata était "parfait" (en cosmétique, oui, superbe).

L'avantage ici est que nos experts connaissent toutes les marques et les modèles de catas et savent tt de suite où il faut regarder.

Ex pass, on verra avec le temps, pour l'oiseau rare je pense préféré mon tri, mais en famille c'est impossible. Pour les expertises, il faut en voir beaucoup et même parfois, rien qu'au téléphone tu sais que le vendeur est a la masse, et puis cela dépends de ton expérience. Pour le bateau Tsaëlou, des recherches avaient soulevées des incohérences du vendeur (de bonne foi). Attention au laius du vendeur qu'il a lui même jamais vérifié.

exact, entre le proprio qui prend soin de son voilier, qui te répond de suite, et est précis dans ses réponses.... et celui qui n'a même pas un inventaire sous la main, t'invite à bord d'un "bordel" sans nom, des cendriers pleins à ras bord... alors qu'il souhaite soit-disant vendre rapidement.... mais bon, chacun sa façon de vivre, je me rends compte effectivement qu'il y a de tout ! toujours est il que je n'achèterai pas (à tort?) certains bateaux dès ma 1ère visite...

tu as laisser tomber pour l outremer 43 ?

et oui, par la force des choses... ;-)

Pour moi 3 visites, 1 cata bricolé mais "détruit" par le bricoleur de proprio, un autre très bizarre limite fifty original mais ne correspondait pas à notre programme. Ensuite quelques centaines d'annonces et comparatifs depuis des années.. bref comme pas mal de monde. La recherche "active" en tant que telle à pris 4 mois. Je n'ai pas fait faire d'expertise, j'ai joué ce rôle d'expert (peut-être à tord) car malgré une certaine expérience on est jamais objectif quand le coup de coeur est là , mais bon que voulez vous... au bout d'un an aucune mauvaise surprise, voire plutôt pas mal de bonnes surprises... ce que je vous souhaite.

Pour répondre à Fabflyingfish :

J'avais besoin de valider le choix mono/cata avant d'envisager de partir loin.

Alors j'ai acheté un louisiane 37 de FP en bon état rentrant d’un tour de méditerranée. Je l'ai convoyé de Marseille à Hendaye (64) dans l'été 2012, en faisant un peu de tourisme au passage.

2000 milles – une belle expérience – avec un peu toutes les allures et toutes les conditions entre calme plat et F7. Pas de problème sur le bateau si ce n’est un palan de GV qui était en fin de vie (et qu’il a fallu changer) et une chaise moteur HB qui s’est vrillée (changée).

Maintenant j’ai une idée précise de la nav sur 2 coques. J’ai mis 1/4 du parcours à accepter l’idée, car si la place à bord, c’est génial, (le mouillage n’en parlons pas, c’est royal), le plaisir de navigation est très différent que sur un mono…

Faut s’habituer, çà bouge différemment … En revanche la vitesse est au rdv, et sur le Louisiane il reste encore un peu de plaisir à la barre franche…

Finalement me voila donc totalement converti au multi.

Je reste donc avec mon problème entier : trouver un cata de 40 pieds environ, voire 42 pour envisager un voyage sur plusieurs années entre les tropiques. Les choses s’organisent. Nous devrions être prêts en 2014 si je trouve un bateau.

Mon budget est tjrs le même (maxi 150 kE) et je ne vois pas grand-chose de convainquant ici sur les côtes françaises pour l’instant. Je tourne en rond entre Fidji 39 (y en a pas) Vénézia 42 (trop cher) Athéna 38 (serait ok mais un poil juste en volumes), Catana 39 (j’en vois pas), Privilège 12 (j’en vois un qui me parait un peu vieux, un peu lourd), lagoon 380 (je suis pas fan du look), Manta 38 (trop de travaux)…

Va falloir prendre l’avion et aller jeter un œil au Marin…

Bonsoir un petit avis mon cata est un 30 pieds et je pense que ce format!!! est super ,pour des manoeuvres faciles , nous marchons sans probleme a 7, 8 noeuds mes moteurs sont des volvo de 13chs donc très petite conso .Nous avons 2 cabines +1 propr une salle de bain et 800 ltrs d'eau le carré est suffisant grand pour pouvoir y manger 6 pers ... Je pense que tous ces gros catas sont super mais les frais suivent la grandeur des bateaux

quelques photos!!!! :pouce: :pouce: :pouce:

Eh il est joli comme tout ce cata... 30 pieds ! Incroyable !

Bon maintenant, pour une vie à bord sur plusieurs années, un programme hauturier (même si ce n'est pas par les 3 caps), je rejoins pleinement ceux qui indiquent environ 12 mètres comme un minimum... La charge aussi, non négligeable sur un long voyage, et impossible à encaisser par un petit bateau sans enfoncer gravement la ligne de flottaison et en faire un candidat à l'enfournement... C'est vrai que le coût de l'entretien croît avec la longueur... Mais il y a un moment où ce critère passe au second plan.

Le vôtre doit être génial pour de longues vacances à bord, ou un tour en méditerrannée... C'est quoi ce modèle ? Quel chantier ?

RE Nous partons entre le 15 et le 20 mai pour la Sardaigne nous allons caboter .Départ de Gruissan puis côtes Française direct Italie puis la Corse EST ....... Nous serons 3 ou 4 sur le bateau ...nous sommes à la retraite et la montre n'a plus d'importance donc très facile à vivre Nous avons acheté ce bateau d'occasion à Barcelone . ce modèle a été construit en Af du Sud le modèle et constructeur ont pour nom RAYVIN un 30 pieds construits a DURBAN (4 exempls ) voila nous avions prévu l'achat d' un 380 d'occasion mais le PRIX !!!! nous a fait réfléchir Bonne soirée et surtout faite comme vous le sentez :alavotre: :alavotre: :alavotre:

Tres sympa effectivement pour un 30 pieds habitable...jamais vu et je suis également intrigué d'en connaitre plus sur cette unité.... Construction amateur peut être ?

Quel est son comportement avec un peu de mer en 3/4 av ....ca tape pas trop sous la nacelle qui a l'air un peu basse ?

Sinon çà a l'air d’être le cata idéal pour du cabotage....on peu aller très loin aussi !

Bonjour Je vois que mon petit bateau intrigué !!! c'est par hasard et après quelques mois à la recherche d'un bateau que sur un site de vente de bateaux d'occasion Espagnol qu'un Français m'a proposé son bateau!! Avec quelques photos et une fiche nous sommes partis le voir à Barcelone Ce bateau a été construit en af du sud seulement 4 exemplaires ,mais n'est pas une construction amateur Son comportement avec un peu de mer est bon mais il est vrai que ça claque sous la nacelle !! Pour nous qui ne sommes pas de vrai marin il est super- facile et sympa .!

C'est le bateau idéal pour votre programme. Bientôt le départ donc. Si vous allez en Corse, n'oubliez pas le Cap Corse, côté Est (à l'abri du mistral) c'est chouette et encore sauvage entre Macinaggio et le Cap Corse... Bonne nav !

Oui, on peut aller tres loin avec un petit cata. J'avais un 40' avant que j'ai cede pensant pouvoir m'offrir le 34 de mes reves. Problemes de vente d'un bien et je suis donc toujours a terre. Ca viendra. Le 34 que je veux est construit en Thaiande chez Catathai. Un des proprietaires de 34 s'est deja tappe l'indonesie avec. Il en est vraiment content. Il voulait un 40 du meme chantier mais ne regrette en rien son 34, au contaire. Leger, rapide, peu d'entretien, que le bonheur de naviguer. C'est un Open, bien sur, pas de carre interieur, mais trois tres belles cabines. C'est plus qu'un bateau de cabotage, voir un semi hauturie. Pas besoin de gros bateau avec gros problemes. Rappelez vous Messieurs qui avez deja presque mon age. Quand nous etions un peu plus jeune, on naviguait sur de 6,5, des 8 et pour les gros bateaux, les tres gros bateaux, 11 m. Bonne journee Juan

Moi je m'interroge toujours sur la différence de rapport que l'on peut avoir avec la population locale, en mouillant en face d'un village "exotique" avec un petit cata "genre 4x4 des mers", ou alors un bon gros appart flottant à 500 KE ??

A ce propos il faut trouver le bon compromis entre se sentir bien à bord avec un niveau de confort correct, et l'affichage de richesse...

C'est un autre aspect des choses

a mon avis aucune différence pour eux , tu as les moyens

Je confirme. L'époque des "indigènes" est loin derrière nous. Ils ont la culture américaine du profit, les prix explosent. Si quelques uns gardent la raison, la plupart cherche à tirer le maximum de profit des touristes quel que soit le bateau.

Il est courant que, quand le prix de la prestation est de 10 à 15 EC comme l'aide à l'amarrage cocotier, certains sans vergogne tentent 50, ou qd le prix de la bouée est 50 EC, ils tentent 60, comme la langouste à 10 EC la livre proposée à 80. C'est là qu'un skipper qui connait le coin et les tarifs peut aider.

Par curiosité, la photo me fait penser à Cumberland Bay??? JP

Bien, et son fameux Black Baron...

"T'as les moyens"... C'est vrai ; ça fait cet effet au premier abord peut-être...

Mais avec un petit bateau, c'est plus facile ensuite de démontrer que c'est un choix de vie ; que le bateau est aussi l' habitat, et que la vie à bord est finalement une vie de nomade, curieux d'autres cultures... Qu'il y a des valeurs autres que la possession matérielle...

Avec un coffre fort à voiles, la crédibilité est diminuée. Et avec ce genre de discours la provoc ne serait pas loin...

quand tu es par ex. aux San Blas , le pêcheur arrive en pirogue creusé dans un tronc d arbre pour te proposer sa pêche , toi tu es en maillot de bain , tu bosses pas , tu te balade ou tu veux , alors que tu sois sur un boat a 50 000 € ou 500 000 € , il fait pas la différence . tu es un nantis , ce qui est vrai

tu as le besoin de démontrer quoi ? a qui ? TDM a raison, ou que tu ailles -dans des régions reculées- tu es un chanceux... faut arreter de vouloir s'excuser d'avoir les moyens... laisse aller ton coeur c'est tout. il y a des gens adorables sur des yachts exceptionnels et de sombres crétins sur des mono" babacoolisé" et l'inverse... Le rest c'est se donner bonne conscience et , comme dit KAKO très faux cul javascript:void(0);

C'est ça ! Montrons que nous n'avons pas les moyens !

Mieux, faisons en sorte de ne pas les avoir, ça fera pas faux cul ainsi ! :mdr:

"L'époque des indigènes" n'est plus c'est sûr... Et s'ils ont la culture américaine du profit, c'est certainement parceque quelques-uns leurs ont montré le chemin...

Ces dix dernières années ont été catastrophiques sur ce point... Les bases de loc partout. Tout voyageur est devenu un touriste à plumer... Et souvent il a de belles plumes !

Et sortir des sentiers battus semble devenir un sport compliqué, parceque là aussi il finit par y avoir du monde...

Quand même envie de partir... Envie de croire qu'il reste encore quelques failles...

Des petits paradis, en général des iles désertes ou des criques inhabitées, en dehors des parcours classiques, Dieu merci, il y en a encore.

Je vous livre qques secrets que je vous demande de ne pas répéter : The Pool à Canouan (se dépêcher, ils sont en train de construire une marina pour les méga yachts à Friendship Bay), Petit Tabac, Anse La Roche à Carriacou ou Sandy Island, etc...

La moindre baie malgré la crise se retrouve avec des complexes hôteliers américains tout juste construits ou en cours de construction. Prix de la chambre, de 150 à 1.000 dollars US la nuit....

Aucun doute que les locaux en prennent exemple, tous les prix sont tirés vers le haut.

faut arreter de se prendre la tête avec ça ! Le Français qui culpabilise de gagner de l'argent ça fini par lasser et devenir très con... Les gens font selon leurs moyens point final.. Nous sommes regroupés autour d'une passion.. que ton bateau soit taillé dans un tronc ou qu'il soit en or massif on s'en fout ! Seule le comportement est important ! J'ai vu des gens charmants passionnés, dévoués sur des bateaux de plus d'1M euros et des crétins "baba cool", donneurs de leçons qui éteignaient la VHF cat, aller dépanner un "collègue" leur "aurait couté de l'argent, pour peu de reconnaissance..." (c'est du vécu !) Quand à la "culture du profit - toujours bizarrement Américaine- elle est dans l'ordre des choses. On passe sa vie à améliorer son confort, l'avenir des ses enfants et petits enfants selon ses moyens et tant mieux pour ceux qui en on beaucoup. La plus grande richesse restant l'amour et la "bonne" éducation qu'on leur donne et pour nous, notre vrai richesse est d'avoir le temps ! La Liberté Alors partageons ! Nantis ou pas arrêtons de critiquer !! Cela dit, ceux qui n'ont pas de moyens critiquent ceux qui en ont et les envient, pas l'inverse... Je pense que l'on envie (pas jalouser ce qui serait idiot et pas très sain) ceux qui sont "au dessus" pas ce qui ont moins que soit... donc normal que les "indigènes " et autres habitants de coins perdus mais enchanteurs, veulent profiter de ces gens qui ont les moyens de venir, en espérant un jour voyager à leur tour... et suivant ce qu'ils auront découvert et le philosophie qu'ils en tireront, préfèreront revenir ou s'enrichir dans une sté et un système qui leur convient...

C'est pas la question de montrer qu'on a pas les moyens, ou d'être faux cul...

C'est juste avoir conscience en effet des écarts... C'est vrai le pêcheur en pirogue peut pas comprendre...

le pecheur en pirogue n'est pas con; et cherche meme pas à comprendre.. souvent en asie, si tu mets tes étraves par là-bas, quelque soit le luxe de ton bateau, tu te feras moquer de toi car ils ne comprennent pas qu'on puisse naviguer "pour le plaisir "

Depuis 2008 nous avons un Privilège 12, 1000h de travail, mais le bateau sain et facile à naviguer en solo. 2100 milles / an Le cokpit est une véritable terrasse. jp

Il est pas à vendre ?????????????????

je reve ou plongeur 84 a une baignoire a bord????

Salut . Oui dans mon petit bateau il y a une baignoire ;;;; mais franchement elle sert uniquement a ma femme pour ce laver la tête!!!!! cette baignoire prend de la place et je pense qu'un jour elle disparétrat .Nous avons 800 ltrs d'eau !!!

il pourrait avoir un piano à queue.. ça le regarde !

Il y a aussi le nautitech 40 (1 en Italie de 2004 à 145kE sur YW) ou 395, ou pourquoi pas le Lavezzi 40 ou Privilege 37? C'est vrai que France métro c'est limité..

Et celui-ci qu'en pensez-vous ?

www.yachtworld.fr[...]/France

165.000 Euros, ça me parait encore un peu cher pour un bateau de près de 20 ans qui aura les volumes d'un cata de 38 pieds aujourd'hui.

il a l''air franchement laid...

En fait, il ne l'est pas

Suite a quelques petites recherches voici quelques Catana qui peuvent être intéressant dans votre budget : Coté Europe: Un catana 39 en Vendée apparement... fr.boats.com[...]982667/

De l'autre bord 2 catana 42: fr.boats.com[...]117802/ fr.boats.com[...]917454/

--> Au regard du marché il me semble que vous pourriez les faire encore baisser d'au moins 4 à 5 % si vous avez la treso a dispo rapidement...sauf si ils sont en très bon état.

et celui-la www.leboncoin.fr[...]451.htm

ou celui-la www.leboncoin.fr[...]832.htm

j'étais il y a encore quelles que semaine a la recherche d'un cata...et d'après mes renseignement LE CATANA 39 et vendu le 42S a 139000 le vendeur devais être muté et ne l'est plus donc ne vend plus!! et celui de Floride et vendu aussi!!!! c'est un jeux de laisser de veille annonces pour attirer les clients!!bon courage!

aujourd'hui... mais pas aux caraïbes... :pouce:

Hello, Il y en a quelques-uns chez Multisailing,broker sérieux et compétent: www.multisailing.com[...]tif.php

Celui-là me semble intéressant si tu veux le trouver en Europe : www.yachtworld.fr[...].italie

Attention, plus tu achètes grand et large, plus le coût sera important pour le mettre à terre. A ne pas négliger. Bon après cela dépend de son budget. JP

Oui je sais bien... j'espère pouvoir espacer les carénages en faisant un entretien régulièr en le posant en eaux peu profondes, ou sur la plage si je suis en zone à marées.

C'est comme çà que je fais actuellement avec le Louisiane sur la côte atlantique. C'est même plus économique que pour mon ancien quillard...

J'étais sans internet pendant qques jours, et me voilà (agréable surprise) avec quelques liens / annonces a explorer. Un grand Merci à vous..

J'en connaissais certaines (Catana 39 déja vendu - Grand soleil 42 un peur fort en prix) et les annonces aux Antilles pour lesquelles je ne me suis pas encore décidé à programmer un voyage...

Par contre Nautitech 40 en Italie je vais regarder... Et pour répondre à "Ness" : j'ai cru bon d'écarter le Lavezzi 40 de mes recherches pour avoir lu sur ce même forum que ce bateau connait de sérieux problèmes de structure et / ou de fragilité... Privilège 37 oui pourquoi pas... Je suis en communication à ce propos... Athéna 38 aussi... Et privilège 12 m m'inspire bien pour les volumes, et son prix car un peu plus ancien. Mais semble un bateau lourd...

Soit je trouve la perle rare entre maintenant et la fin de l'année, ici en europe, soit je "vole" aux Antilles en début 2014, et y trouve (certainement) ce que je veux... Charge ensuite de le faire convoyer par un skipper pro pour le ramener au pays Basque..

Il est vrai qu'ici, aux Antilles, il y a des bateaux à vendre. Les monocoques se bradent. Pour les catas, je n'ai pas l'impression, sauf pour de très vieux modèles, où encore des fins de locations. Ceci dit, pour parler de la différence flagrante entre nous et le locaux, elle est incontournable à priori, l'écart est trop grand. Inutile de se justifier(comme si l'on avait à se sentir coupable, ce que les ex colonies arrivent assez bien à véhiculer)Par contre, le train de vie est très vite analysé. Lorsque, au Venez, j'allais à la pêche avec les locaux, pour manger, ils le savaient, et les jours où j'étais absent, ils ne manquaient pas de laisser un seau de poissons dans le cockpit, et pareil en Guyane.

J'aimerais avoir l'opportunité de voir de près un Nautitech 395, bateau qui semble bien correspondre à mes critères et à mon budget ... Mais actuellement je n'en vois pas d'occasion dans les environs...

Y aurait-il ici un heureux propriétaire de N 395 qui serait en mesure d'exaucer mon voeu dans la région Sud Ouest, disons entre La Rochelle et Hendaye ???

Je promets d'enlever mes chaussures pour la visite et de ne pas arriver les mains vides !

Le 435 est très bine mais un bateau lourd pour la finesse de ses coques, ce qui imite les possibilités de chargement.

Pour les commentaires parfois rapides sur les FP, il y a un Salina qui tourne depuis plusieurs années sur des navigations nordiques Spitzberg et autres et part cet été pour le passage du Nord Est (Groenland Alaska)....

Oui très bien le 435, mais il sort du budget d'après ce que je vois jusqu'à présent. La taille du 395 semble suffire. Nous ne partons qu'à 2 quand-même...

Au fait je cherche une réponse sur un point précis du 395 : A-t-on accès aux moteurs par les jupes arrières ou par les couchettes ? Il semble que sur les nouveaux N 40 c'est par les jupes que çà se passe, mais ça ne me paraît pas évident sur les 395. Merci.

J'ai eu la réponse par "Tomasacha" : acces aux moteurs par les cabines AR sur le 395.

En parlant des FP et de leur réputation parfois limite (mais pas pour tous les anciens), j'ai un faible pour le Bahia 46...

Guide d'Achat Voile 2023 - Multicoques de 50 à 60 pieds

Article publié le 03/12/2022

Par Emmanuel van Deth

n°216 déc. / janv.

Cette catégorie, sur le plan des entrées et des sorties, est la plus active de toutes, preuve que la plupart des constructeurs tentent de s’imposer sur ce créneau des grands multicoques. Les 50 à 60 pieds rassemblent les grands croiseurs de série et les premiers semi-customs. 15 à 18 mètres de coques, c’est également le partage entre deux univers : celui des unités qui restent maniables en équipage privé et réduit, et un autre, les modèles qui nécessitent un équipage professionnel. Un marin ou skipper sera intégré pour profiter des extraordinaires qualités de ces multicoques de grande taille. La frontière se situe le plus souvent à 55 pieds. Dans tous les cas, place à des multicoques particulièrement confortables et/ou performants.

ST FRANCIS 50 MK2

Il est prêt à affronter toutes les mers.

Fort de son expérience avec les St Francis 44 et 48, le constructeur sud-africain a lancé un 50 pieds plus confortable encore et récemment amélioré sous le vocable MK2. Si le design semble très classique et la nacelle plutôt basse comparée à ce qui se fait en Europe, le St Francis 50 se révèle un catamaran très marin, robuste et capable d’affronter le pire des coups de vent. A l’intérieur, le chantier peut s’accorder avec tous les desiderata de ses clients, et assure un excellent niveau de finition.

Constructeur : St Francis Marine Longueur : 15,25 m Largeur : 8,00 m Tirant d’eau : 1,25 m Déplacement : 12,5 t Grand-voile : 87,6 m2 Génois : 53 m2 Motorisation : 2 x 57 CV Carburant : 880 l Eau : 1 350 l Prix prêt à partir : 1 230 000 US$ HT

Génois à recouvrement, le retour !

Le Lagoon 51 est en fait une évolution du 50. Quoi de neuf ? On note que les jupes arrière sont sensiblement plus longues, et surtout dotées d’un débord latéral afin de faciliter la circulation lorsque le catamaran est à quai. Le poste de pilotage surélevé et les bains de soleil, toujours accessibles des deux côtés, se muent en un véritable flybridge, complété par un solarium avant. Le constructeur est également parvenu à intégrer 2,7 kWc de panneaux solaires. La grande surprise, c’est la disparition du mât posé sur le rouf, accompagné du sacro-saint foc autovireur. Lagoon a donc fait machine arrière en reposant son mât à l’avant de la nacelle. A l’intérieur, la disparition de l’imposante épontille profite à l’agrément de la nouvelle nacelle, qui adopte un Alpi chêne sable. Les retours d’expérience du 50 – 300 exemplaires vendus tout de même – ont permis de reprendre 70 points, comme les holding tanks de nouveau gravitaires (et non sous les planchers). Lagoon adopte une sellerie constituée de matériau 100 % recyclé et des capots réalisés en fibre de chanvre et en partie avec de la résine biosourcée. Le Lagoon 51 n’est pas encore complètement Forever Green, mais on y est presque !

Constructeur : Lagoon Longueur : 15,35 m Largeur : 8,10 m Tirant d’eau : 1,38 m Déplacement : 19,91 t Grand-voile : 97/100 m2 Génois : 53 m2 Motorisation : 2 x 80 CV Carburant : 830 l Eau : 2 X 520 l Prix : 774 417 € HT

Flybridge pour tout le monde !

Précurseurs du pont/cockpit avant – devenu en 10 ans incontournable ou presque –, les architectes Simonis & Voogd ont optimisé le concept et l’espace à bord de ce catamaran de 50 pieds capable d’accueillir jusqu’à cinq cabines plus équipage. Le bilan de ce travail se traduit par une aisance de circulation incroyable à bord. Au départ, le Leopard 50 était disponible avec ou sans fly – Leopard 50 L ou S. La formule « avec » s’est imposée naturellement avec ...
