It may be hard to understand just how revolutionary SKYE’s original Daimler petroleum internal combustion power plant was when she was new. It’s a remarkable fact that when this beautiful launch was first commissioned - we educatedly guess, in 1895 - there may have been as few as 14 or 15 internal combustion engine powered motor cars on Britain’s roads. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/740/SKYE Beautifully built by one of the Firth of Clyde’s finest small craft builders, she spent her first 115 years with the same family on the Isle of Skye, about 65 of them laid up in a nicely salty boathouse. SKYE was the find of a lifetime for meticulous and experienced boat restorer Chris Cracknell. Her next owner - only her third - takes on not only a remarkable piece of maritime history, but also a beautiful example of careful restoration.

► Since 1973, the La Rochelle Boat Show, known simply as “Le Grand Pavois” in French, has been THE not-to-be-missed afloat show on France’s Atlantic coast. With 750 boats on display and a record 80,000 visitors, the 2023 event (that ran from September 20 to 25, so a little earlier than usual) clearly benefited from the scheduled absence of the Paris Boat Show at the end of the year. According to the organizers, no more than 10 square feet was left available at the Port des Minimes! Of course, the Multihulls World team was there. We were able to preview the Tender Cat, a small all-purpose catamaran dinghy built in epoxy-ply, the Greencat 52, a custom-built eco-responsible catamaran, the impressive NEEL 52, the Astrea 42 Smart Electric, and finally Lagoon’s new Furling Boom. ► 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!
