The Vaan R5 is the perfect size for extended blue water sailing or a family live-aboard. Like the R4, the R5 sailing catamaran is made of sustainable and circular materials such as recycled aluminium, FSC certified cork decking and recycled fabrics. And it's all-electric. ▫️ @Vaan ▫️ Forward in the owner's hull is a luxury bathroom with a spacious shower. The mirror slides sideways to open a cabinet and three large drawers and shelves give you all the storage you need. Aft is a luxurious owner's cabin. ▫️ The R5 comes in two versions: the open cockpit and the closed cockpit live-aboard version, the R5-LA. The main difference is the sliding door that is placed further aft in the LA version. This creates a spacious interior saloon that allows for unique layout options which can be tailored to your needs. ▫️ R5 SPECS - LOA: 49 ft / 14.94 m - Beam: 7.99 m - Draft: 135 cm / 210 cm (retractable centerboards optional) - Total Mast Height: 24.9 m - Propulsion: 2x electric saildrives - Bridge deck clearance 85 cm - Sail areas: - Main: 80 m2 - Jib: 45 m2 (self-tacking) - Code-0: 120 m2 (option) - Gennaker: 176 m2 (option) #aluminium #recycled #eco #sailing #catamaran #luxury

From their start off Ushant Sodebo 3 had a blistering run from the down south to join the Southern Ocean. But their passage through this extensive and notorious stretch of oceanic wasteland has been a difficult one. Keeping flat out in fog is just one of the challenges.
