NAUTITECH POWER 40 NEW
Nautitech has taken advantage of the announcement of its takeover by the giant Bavaria to present its future projects, and above all what could well be THE major new boat of the year: the Nautitech Power 40. In fact the builder aims to double its production, and the motor cat market is developing fast. For the moment, very little information about this new boat has filtered down from the R&D department, but we have nevertheless been able to obtain this sketch of the Power 40. The catamaran will thus be developed from the basis of the Open 40, whose concept it picks up, including of course the very successful saloon-cockpit living area. To be discovered in 2015...

DUTCHCAT 12 NEW
Here is a motor catamaran which follows modern trends by being a comfortable boat, pleasant to live aboard, but also by having the smallest possible ecological footprint. The DutchCat 12 is currently under construction in the Netherlands, and will be launched at the beginning of 2015. The DutchCat is designed to be equipped with 100% electric propulsion – 6kW is enough to cruise at 6 knots – but it can also be equipped with hybrid or diesel propulsion. At 12.55 meters long and just 4.9m wide, this motor catamaran offers a single, 30m² level, which is perfectly flat and therefore ideal for people with reduced mobility.

LAGOON 630 MY NEW
At the Cannes Boat Show we were able to discover the catamaran with which the builder Lagoon is returning to the world of motor yachts. A striking return with a particularly comfortable, prestigious boat which meets all the criteria required by yacht owners. But the 630 MY is not just a luxurious boat, it cruises and can even cruise far, as with the ‘Extra Range’ option, it offers a transatlantic range. The company has voluntarily chosen to favor range and comfort aboard, rather than top speed. A judicious choice!

FURIO 6 NEW
With its new Furio 6 motor yacht, Privilège acquires a prestigious boat, which will be fast (top speed of over 27 knots), but should also offer a good range, as the Atlantic crossing will be within its reach. The lines are resolutely modern, and the accommodation is optimized and refined, to meet the needs of today’s demanding owners. This boat’s originality also resides in the ingenious handling of the various areas: a flybridge equipped with numerous clever features – a convivial, designer bar between the saloon and the cockpit – a raised steering position with a lounge area, an owner’s cabin with a sea view, and an incredible ‘cocoon’ design bed.

RS 57' NEW
The launch of the RS 57 is now imminent, and we can’t wait to test this modern, ecological boat, with an advertised consumption of one liter per mile at between 8 and 9 knots. This catamaran is a real trawler, meaning a long-term cruising boat capable of taking you far – the range should be a record! - but at comfortable cruising speeds of between 8 and 9 knots. Because when blue-water cruising, we have time, and motoring should be part of the pleasure of being aboard.

MARES 45
The story of this builder began in 1982, when a businessman who was a fishing enthusiast discovered a catamaran which made light of the waves in New Zealand, where the seas can be big and dangerous. Since then, he has not ceased to perfect this design and has built a whole range of catamarans, of from 21 to 90 feet, including this 45-footer. The company has worked particularly hard on the tunnel, so as to offer the Mares 45 exceptional directional stability, and the lowest possible fuel consumption.

The construction (using infusion) and finish are of exemplary quality, and the accommodation, including the owner’s cabin, is very successful. A boat which offers a very good range, which makes it one of the rare motor yachts on the market to be both fast and capable of taking you blue-water cruising.

BAMBA 50
Should this be in the ‘motor catamaran’ section? Because although the Bamba 50 is actually a boat whose main propulsion is its engines, it is also equipped with a mast and a downwind sail, which allow it to considerably reduce its fuel consumption downwind. This system is ideal on an Atlantic crossing, for example, as it allows this very original ocean cruising catamaran to increase its cruising radius.

QUEENSLAND 55
During our test of the Queensland 55, we particularly appreciated its ‘voyager’ lines, its civilized nature and its superlative comfort, which offer an attractive alternative to single-hulled motor yachts with so much greater fuel consumption.
