The Yachting Malta Ltd EurILCA Masters race went underway this afternoon just off Sliema seafront when the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 fleets managed to fit in two races. The approximate 8 knots of wind, and negligible swell allowed the fleet to fit in two races. Unfortunately after the second race, the wind dropped to 5knots resulting in the fleet return back to its base at the Royal Malta Yacht Club. The ILCA 6 fleet saw Rob Cage (GBR) and Vadim Yahkhinson win a race each, with Cage leading the standings for the day with 3 points. The larger, ILCA 7 fleet saw Christoph Marsano (AUT) and Aristos Chatzistamatiou (GRE) take two wins, however it was Wolfgang Gerz (GER) who matched Marsano’s points tally, both finishing the day with five points each.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/xquisite-sixty-solar-sail-technology-performance-and-comfort ► Making her premiere at Annapolis, the big sistership of the X5 Plus adopts a relatively conventional design - the big arch around the cockpit is now more gone. At the show, we went on board, followed by a test sail that we’ll be reporting on very soon in Multihulls World, and the care taken with the overall ergonomics and the finish is clear to see. The name Solar reflects the manufacturer's desire to limit fossil fuel consumption by offering an impressive surface area of solar panels. Some neat touches will improve life when cruising, such as the forward sunbathing area that’s well protected between the coachroof uprights, the aft platform equipped with a carbon mini-crane and the large holds, and lockers ready to store all your nautical equipment. The helm and maneuvering station is elegantly protected by a hard-top, not to mention the rigid handrail that surrounds the entire deck. A semi-custom finish is offered by the manufacturer. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Xquisite Yachts Length: 59’1” (18 m) Beam: 29’2” (8.91 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Light displacement: 60,650 lbs (27.5 t) Mainsail: 1,356 sq ft (126 m²) Jib: 969 sq ft (90 m²) Code D: 2,260 sq ft (210 m²) Engines: 2 x 110 HP ► 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 600 multihulls tests!
