Tout sur : 2023 Sail Buyer s Guide

In terms of new arrivals and departures, this category is the most active of all, proof that most builders are trying to establish themselves in this large multihull niche. The 50 to 60-footers include both big production cruising boats and the first semi-custom builds. Hulls of 15 to 18 meters in length also mark the dividing line between two worlds: one of boats that remain manageable privately and short-handed, and the other, of models that require a professional crew. A crewmember or skipper will be part of the setup, to take advantage of the extraordinary qualities of these large multihulls. The boundary is typically seen at 55 feet. In all cases, we’re talking particularly comfortable and/ or high-performance multihulls.
