The Simbad 55 Legend. 10 Facts Part 1. ▫️ Launched in La Grande Motte and showing at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September. ▫️ Working in partnership with French designer Franck Darnet, this 55-foot catamaran is a ready-to-go, highly liveable yacht capable of carrying its owners around the world in comfort.

Galley-up or down with between 2 and 5 cabins, including crew quarters. ▫️ #yachts #sailing #multihulls @SimbadYachts

The Round Turn and 2 Half Hitches. OK, the bowline is more useful on a boat, but this knot must be up there, right? It's just so easy to remember once you get it down. ▫️ Useful for fenders if you can't remember your clove hitches, tying the tender off, all sorts. ▫️ Make sure you can do this one in your sleep. ▫️ #sailing #learn the #ropes

The fastest sailing circumnavigation in history. 40 days, 10 hours, 45 minutes. ▫️ Sodebo Ultim 3 left Ushant on 15 December 2025 with seven crew aboard and took the Jules Verne Trophy on 25 January 2026, beating Francis Joyon's IDEC Sport time by 12 hours and 44 minutes. The record had stood for nine years. ▫️ 28,315 nautical miles. An average of 27.17 knots. More than twenty gybes across an Indian Ocean that Joyon crossed on a single tack in 2017, a record run to Cape Leeuwin at the halfway mark, a comeback through the Pacific at 35 knots, and a final week in Storm Ingrid with 50 knots and nine-metre seas that cost them the 40-day barrier. ▫️ #sailing #offshoresailing #julesvernetrophy #ultim #trimaran @sodebovoile

One owner logged 10,000 nautical miles on 656 litres of diesel.  ▫️ We reckon this might just be the most capable sailing catamaran at this price point anywhere on the market right now.

Not all boards on sailing catamarans are the same. Straight daggerboards. Curved C-Boards. Angled Boards. Centreboards. ▫️ They all have one thing in common though. They reduce leeway (especially in lighter conditions) and they give you a bit of vertical lift at speed effectively reducing your displacement through the water. If you want performance, you need boards. ▫️ What's your favourite design angle, or maybe you prefer the simplicity of mini-keels? ▫️ #yachts #design
