Since last July, a more compact model, the 510, has completed the range offered by this bluewater cruising specialist. Our correspondent Jonathan was able to discover this offshore catamaran, which benefits from high freeboard and well-designed aft circulation, including dock access through a cut-out in the bulwarks and lowered side decks.
“The 510 is first and foremost a catamaran designed to accommodate a large number of people on board in well-assumed comfort,” Jonathan reports. “At nearly 16 meters long and close to 8 meters wide, this new model offers a very pleasant living space. The cockpit is spacious, welcoming, and naturally oriented toward the outdoors. Inside, movement is fluid, the cabins are comfortable and bright, and the overall atmosphere is warm. The goal here is not to chase a ‘wow’ effect at all costs, but rather balance and coherence. Under sail, the 510 favors smooth motion with her 22 tons. She moves forward steadily, without harshness, providing a very reassuring sense of security. It’s a catamaran that puts you at ease, that supports her crew without ever being abrupt. You simply feel good on board!”
