Sure, the revolutionary technical advances in electric propulsion and the promise of unlimited range are now a reality on board our multihulls: taking ecological issues into account is no longer just wishful thinking... But as far as “traditional” propulsion is concerned, modern internal combustion engines are still a great solution aboard a simple, light and durable motor catamaran.

As a result, in the context of summer sailing, the use of the sails themselves is sometimes almost secondary. As a result, even though motor sailing isn’t necessarily a source of pleasure, most multihull sailors are already well ve…
