► Full test in Multihulls World N°191: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/prestige-m8-powercat-or-yacht-why-both-captain ► This new model announced at Boot Düsseldorf confirms the ambitions of Prestige Yachts regarding the M-Line range they inaugurated in 2022 with the M48. A catamaran configuration is indeed where the manufacturer placing their bets! The M8 should have been called the M58, but Prestige's management preferred to emphasize the “monohull equivalent comfort”, in the same way that Fountaine Pajot did with their MY range. The M8 intends to offer features comparable to those of an 80-foot monohull yacht. Looking at the very first 3D views and the specifications presented, this will indeed be the case: the total living space extends over 2,900 square feet (270 m²), including 540 sq ft (50 m²) for the flybridge, 510 sq ft (47.5 m²) for the nacelle, 345 sq ft (32 m²) for the aft cockpit, and 320 sq ft (30 m²) for the forward owner's cabin, which occupies all the available width... A great deal of effort has also gone into the design, the materials used, and the quality of finish, such as the access to the flybridge from inside, surrounded by glass to avoid breaking the view, the bar between the two aft openings and the hydraulic platform that can be used as a terrace at the same level as the cockpit. While the M8 isn’t a semi-custom powercat, various options, such as having the galley down, will allow this new model to be personalized. The shipyard is also taking a step towards respecting the environment with a Silent Yacht option: a lithium battery bank combined with solar panels will allow the crew to spend the night aboard without having to resort to running the generator. The M8's low fuel consumption is also worthy of note (at least at slow speeds) as the twin 600 HP Volvo D8s require only 5¼ US gallons (20 liters) per hour at 8 knots. Like the M48, the maximum speed remains modest, at 20 knots. On the other hand, the range this catamaran offers, while comfortable, won’t allow you to envisage too much in the way of ocean passage-making. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Prestige Yachts Length overall: 67’11” (20.7 m) Hull length: 60’ (18.3 m) Beam: 28’10” (8.8 m) Drivetrain: 2 x 600 HP Fuel: 978 US gal (3,700 l) Water: 211 US gal (800 l) Maximum speed: 20 knots Range at 10 knots: 850 miles ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

These are the Superlight versions of Brompton’s folding bikes, which, with several structural components and accessories made from titanium, weight nearly a kilogram less than the all-steel versions. Very handy. An advantage of the Garcia Exploration 45 over other yachts is that when sitting on the hard it is not as high off the ground. The centreboard is raised and the boat is resting on its hull at the front, with a low support at the rear. Some of the keel boats around us are scary high. Eek!

Despite its name, the #FlyingGurnard does not actually fly in the air like a bird or insect. Its specialised pectoral fins are actually enlarged and resemble wings. These "wings" are brightly coloured and have intricate patterns, making them visually striking. When threatened or startled, the Flying Gurnard spreads its pectoral fins wide open, creating the illusion of flight as it glides through the #water. This display serves as a defence mechanism to intimidate potential predators and deter them from attacking. While it may not truly fly, the Flying Gurnard's unique adaptation allows it to move gracefully and swiftly #underwater. Come find this weird #SeaCreature in #Komodo with us, reserve your spot from only $191. ✉️ info@LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 💬 +62 812 2000 2025 (WhatsApp) 🌐 www.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com 🌐 Trip.LaGaligoLiveaboard.com (Schedule & Rates) ~~~~ #scubadiving #scuba #diving #diver #liveaboard #divetrips
