NEW 2017 ASTUS 16.5
Here is the latest boat from Astus Boats. This brand new trimaran was designed by the VPLP design office. This is the first time the builder has worked with the famous architects, well-known for their racing and cruising multihulls. The Astus 16.5 is built to the same standards as the other trimarans in the range, with notably floats on telescopic tubes to avoid dismantling when storing, and a daggerboard for ease of use. The Astus 16.5 is available in a choice of ‘Leisure’ or ‘Sport’ versions (built using infusion), and can be equipped with a small motor for lovers of coastal ‘raids’.

NEW 2017 CORSAIR 760

The new Corsair 760 can be folded and transported, and offers much more comfort than its predecessors, with a small cabin offering a perfect little shelter for coastal camping. But the trimaran shows its true colors under sail: boosted by a screecher on its bowsprit, runs at over 20 knots become the norm and fun aboard is guaranteed...

With Balbuzard, the designer has created the catamaran of the future: a particularly breathtaking ‘open’ boat, with a flexible wing and curved asymmetric daggerboards. On the program: speed and performance, as well as comfort, with the accommodation of a genuine cruiser and electric motors.

LAGOON 39
The 39 is a catamaran which offers an impressive feeling of space and volume. The work carried out by moving the rig aft has allowed the forward end to be freed of the mast support strut, giving a totally uninterrupted view forward. But that’s not all: By re-centering the rig, and thanks to the new sail plan, pitching has been limited, and the self-tacking jib greatly simplifies the handling. A real plus for a family crew, making this 39-footer a successful travelling companion.

LUCIA 40
Presented to the public for the first time at the last Paris Boat Show, the Lucia 40 is an excellent catamaran, whose liveable volume and tasteful accommodation explain its success. But it’s under sail that the Lucia is surprising: its ease of handling and its performance make it an ideal boat for an Atlantic circuit as a family, and there is nothing to stop you envisaging cruising as far as the confines of the lagoons on the other side of the world.

BALI 4.0
With the 40-footer, the Bali range is now particularly consistent. Just like its big sisters, the 4.5 and 4.3 (whilst awaiting the 5.2 and 5.8), the Bali 4.0 offers an open space between the cockpit and the saloon. A glazed door which folds away on electric rams allows the boat to go from the Cozy mode (closed) to the Lounge mode (open to the anchorage)... Once again on the 4.0 we find the forward cockpit – there is no trampoline on the Balis – and the very nice glazed doors which disappear totally to offer optimum ventilation.

NAUTITECH OPEN 40
With the Open 40, Nautitech has succeeded in a masterstroke: offering a boat which is easy to sail shorthanded, whilst remaining elegant, lively and structurally rigorous. In short, a success!
