From April 22 to 26, 2026, the Salon International du Multicoque in La Grande Motte will feature a range of new products illustrating the diversity of multihull programs, from fast sailing to ocean cruising and motorboats.
Trimarans and fast multihulls, priority to speed
The Rapido 40 Racer opens the series with a clearly performance-oriented positioning. With a length of 12 m and a displacement of 4,500 kg, this trimaran relies on optimized appendages to exploit lift. Its 5.8 m folding beam facilitates access to berths. A variable draft allows the boat to be adapted to different types of water.
In the same vein, the TRM43 features a hull designed to take advantage of light winds. The shipyard claims to be able to sail at wind speed from 2 to 3 knots of true wind, with high average speeds over long distances.
Sailing catamarans, between fast cruising and life on board
McConaghy Boats' MC75 is positioned in the large 23.3 m sailing yacht segment. Lightweight construction and customization options allow for design adaptations, particularly on the flybridge. Claimed performance reaches 21 knots downwind in 20 knots of wind. On board, volumes are open, with large windows and layouts oriented towards circulation and luminosity.
The Simbad 55, designed by Pierre Delion, adopts an approach focused on materials and interior ambience. Wood finishes and 360° openings structure the living space.
The Outremer 48, more compact at 14.63 m, retains its fast cruising orientation. The deck layout and interior volumes are designed for versatile use, from offshore to coastal sailing.
Powercats, autonomy and long-distance sailing
In terms of power, the AY60 from Adventure Yachts is positioned in the larger 60-foot segment. Its epoxy glass and epoxy carbon construction allows displacement to be kept to 18.5 tons. The power system includes 8 kW of solar panels and a 1,800 Ah 48 V battery. The advertised range reaches 3,000 miles at 8 knots.
The Aventura 37 Explorer offers a more compact alternative. This 11.6 m powercat adopts a trawler-type architecture, with particular attention paid to stability and fuel consumption. Sedan and Flybridge versions offer configurations suitable for family use or extended cruising.
Unique presentations on the pontoons
The show also features several models presented for the first time in Europe, including the Aquila 50 Es, the Aquila 32 Sport and the Sunsail 465.
A first presentation in France is announced with the Earthling E 40 Power Catamaran. These launches are in line with the show's schedule, which enables shipyards to unveil their boats in real-life conditions, directly afloat.
A show structured around afloat visits
Organized in La Grande Motte, the International Multihull Boat Show is based on a harbour layout that allows visitors to view the boats from the pontoon.
This format facilitates the observation of hulls, volumes and on-board circulation. From April 22 to 26, 2026, the show will bring together multihulls from 12 to over 20 meters, covering a wide range of programs, from fast sailing to ocean cruising.
