RIG: PERFORMANCE AND EASE OF USE

The mast being moved further aft offers many advantages on a cruising catamaran: a self-tacking genoa for ease of use,

– a larger foretriangle for a greater choice of downwind sails,

– a shorter boom for ease of maneuvering,

– a mainsail that is broader near the head, taking advantage of less turbulent wind for a real improvement in performance,

– re-centering of the weight, which greatly reduces pitching.

A COSY COCKPIT, WITH SMOOTH, ELEGANT CURVES

A single level from the aft platform to the saloon: a structural “revolution”,

Entirely new ergonomics that ensure excellent use of space and ease of circulation on board,

A large glazed door that occupies the entire width of the coachroof, and provides access to the unparalleled internal volumes.

The suspended steps at the transom provide a whole new perception of the boat: a continuous, wide and inviting platform, worthy of a large vessel.

AN INGENIOUS DECK LAYOUT

The mast moved further aft and the self-tacking jib, a guarantee of performance under sail and ease of handling, provides the ability to bring all operations together in one place.

AN ERGONOMIC HELMING STATION

At the coachroof bulkhead, offering many advantages:direct communication between the cockpit and saloon, improved circulation, forward and aft of the helming station, direct access to the coachroof for easier access to the boom, a composite bimini with a sliding panel to ensure a good view of the sails, a closure panel for helming station safety when under way.
