The M9 is a solar-powered catamaran designed by naval architect Vincent Lebailly for the French company Millikan Boats. 100% made in France, the M9 aims to offer the same sensations as a sailboat, with the comfort of an internal combustion engine boat. The roof and side wings - which can be folded away to close the cockpit completely - are covered with solar panels. Electric propulsion is provided by French company Bluenav. It comprises two 15 kW motors, connected to 10 solar panels, for sailing at between 6 and 12 knots.
Ventio - 10.96 m
Ventio is a catamaran designed by Nicolas Purnu for the Windpearl Yachts shipyard in La Rochelle. The boat weighs just 3 tons and has an upwind sail area of 49 to 88 m2. As standard, the two fins ensure a draught of just 89 cm. Two rotating daggerboards can be fitted as an option. Despite its reduced size, the Ventio can accommodate up to six guests in its 4 cabins. It is available with either an open deck platform or a composite roof. Four configurations are available: OpenSpace, Grand Tourisme, Electric and Spirit. Each Ventio is equipped with two sails, a 3.30 m or 5 m carbon bowsprit, three or five Harken winches and two outboard motors.
The Yot 41 is the second model in Catana's new Yot Catamarans brand. It features the same design as the 36, with an open deck layout protected by a large hard-top. Designed for mid-range cruising, it offers ample exterior space - extendable by lowering the bulwarks - and two en-suite cabins. The Yot 41 is equipped with 2x400 hp Mercury.
Dracan 42 Sport Top - 12.60 m
The Dracan 42 from Polish shipyard Dracan Marine is an open outboard catamaran with a deck layout protected by a large hard-top. Its open layout is marked by a bowrider arrangement on the bow. Movement on board is via a central passageway, from the side sundecks over the engines to the helm station protected by two windshields. Below deck, the layout is available with two or four cabins.
Vaan R4 - 12.80 m
Vaan Yachts is a Dutch manufacturer of aluminum sailing catamarans. The Vaan R4 features non-raised helm stations, positioned aft of the cockpit on each side. The layout differs from what's available on the market, with a large transom and a completely open cockpit. There's also a roof hoop, onto which a bimini is grafted. The cockpit and saloon are on the same level, for greater comfort, and the layout is simple and uncluttered. Several hull versions are available, including one for guests or children.
Aventura 45 - 13.5 m
Aventura Catamarans has entrusted the design of its flagship, the Aventura 45 Sail, to Lasta Design. The coachroof features double seating at the helm, close to the roof saloon. The interior layout and ergonomics have been carefully studied by the architect to create a saloon that can accommodate up to 12 people. The Aventura 45 comes as standard in a 3-cabin version, including an owner's suite. Alternative versions with 4 or 6 cabins are also available.
The Lagoon 43 from the eponymous shipyard is the successor to the best-selling Lagoon 42 cruising catamaran. While it retains the silhouette and elements familiar to the manufacturer, it is more generous and can therefore accommodate an even larger crew. On this model, Lagoon introduces the possibility of linking the inner saloon and outer cockpit tables via a system of sliding doors. In the owner's version, the dedicated cabin is located at the forepeak, with a large bathroom at the stern. A further innovation is the addition of a companionway door on each side to facilitate access on board.
Rapido 53XS - 16.10 m
The Rapido 53XS trimaran for "Xtra Space" is designed for speed, stability and sailing performance. With roomy interiors and spacious decks, the 53XS redefines comfort and style in the trimaran market, for "adventure" cruising or more pleasure-oriented cruising. With its three cabins, it doesn't compromise on performance. Morelli and Melvin have used the same hull as the Rapido 50 at the waterline level, and enlarged it. The boat features 2 carbon C-shaped daggerboards and two rudders, one on each float.
The Bali 5.8 from Bali Catamarans is the largest model in the range. It offers generous living space and great comfort. As always on models in the range, a tilt-and-turn door opens the living space to the sea, the rigid forward cockpit features spacious bench seating, while the fully-equipped flybridge provides additional outdoor space.
Silent 62 3-Deck - ?18.86
Based on the Silent 60, the Silent 62 3-Deck from Silent Yachts offers 2 m more length and a third deck, which can be arranged in three different versions. This replaces the retractable flybridge and can be configured as an open-air saloon, an enclosed saloon or an owner's suite. The interior layout offers 4 cabins and a crew cabin. The Silent 62-3 Deck uses the same powertrain as the Silent 60, and is equipped with 42 solar panels generating up to 17kWp. The propulsion is the E-Power + transmission, comprising two 340 kW electric motors, a generator diesel of 150 kW and a battery 286 kWh water-cooled lithium battery.
