Today we are on a test sail aboard the Broadblue 346 Catamaran. The Broadblue 346 is an ideal catamaran for families and couples, this model is small enough to make a passage through the French canals, but robust enough to carry a Category A (Ocean) status, all with 2m headroom throughout the boat. The key to the easy handling is the innovative “sail station” concept, bringing all of the working sheets and halyards to a single forward facing location alongside the helm station. This ensures that the 346 can be easily handled by one person, including reefing of both the main and headsails. The spacious accommodation includes two large double aft cabins and a single cabin forward as standard. This can be extended by incorporating a single cabin amidships on the port side and a saloon conversion for the double berth. When combined with the optional second head this allows up to 8 people to sleep aboard and enjoy facilities of two heads and two showers, all in a 10m catamaran. The 346 is a beautifully crafted catamaran, whose predecessors have sailed all over the World.

“…the urgent issues we must act on immediately are, first, mining, and second, (plastic) waste. These are not distant problems - they are right in front of us..." -BLUD UPTD Management Unit for the Marine Conservation Area (KKP) of Raja Ampat Islands, during an online public meeting. The impact is real. Raja Ampat is in danger. Plastic waste is already choking its crystal-clear waters and now, mining threatens to scar the very landscapes we call paradise. ➡️ Coral reefs which some of the richest on Earth are struggling. ➡️ Marine life is at risk. ➡️ The Last Paradise might not stay untouched for long... But it’s not too late. Let’s support sustainable travel and protect what makes Raja Ampat magical. Let’s keep it wild. Let’s keep it untouched. #KeepRajaAmpatUntouched #LiveaboardIndonesia #RajaAmpat #TheLastParadise #SaveRajaAmpat #SustainableTravel #PlasticPollution #RajaAmpatLiveaboard
