Sail, Yes... But why not aboard a cat ?
Just a few years ago, had I offered you to set off on a cruise aboard a multihull you would no doubt have smiled at me…Imagining a boat that is tall, heavy, wide, and too expensive!
Those days are long gone.
Multihulls have shown their potential for speed in racing, their agility in bad weather, their cruising comfort both at sea and at anchor. And lastly, "single-hull sailors" have looked enviously at the increasing number of catamarans lying at anchor, and been able to discover for themselves the reality of life aboard a catamaran: space, comfort, and most of all…life flat on the water!
Today, many have made the move from single to multihull, but the opposite is rare.
After racing multihulls, it was the cruisers that next won acclaim: they can be found in all sizes and for every agenda: from racing to family-crewed ocean cruising. A visit to the catamaran docks at Cannes will convince you that when it comes to the voyage, the quality of life on board, the comfort and performance, there is still nothing out there better than a multihull!
