A staysail is a type of sail that is typically smaller than the main sail on a boat, and is attached to a stay (a wire or rope) that connects to the mast of the vessel. It can be used in a variety of wind conditions, but is particularly useful in stronger winds, when the larger main sail may be difficult to handle. In our case we’re using it because our furler is broken and we can’t use the headsail. Staysails are often used for upwind sailing, and can help to balance the boat by reducing the amount of weather helm (the tendency of the boat to turn into the wind). They can also be used in conjunction with a larger headsail or spinnaker to help control the boat’s speed and direction in varying wind conditions. Staysails are commonly found on sailing yachts and other sailing vessels, and can be made from a variety of materials, including Dacron, Kevlar, and other synthetic fibers. #staysail #sailboat #sailinglife

► Full test in Multihulls World Special Issue Power 19: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/prestige-m48-a-long-awaited-powercat ► Motorboat manufacturer Prestige already has three monohull ranges, making them one of the undisputed world leaders in the sector, with over 4,000 examples produced over the past 30 years. The launch of the M48 is therefore a nice surprise for powercat fans! This new model inaugurates a complete new range which will soon represent 40% of the brand's turnover. The power catamaran that we discovered in Cannes features very clean lines and respects the brand’s design - it is still the Italian studio Garroni Design in charge. With a hull drawn by Philippe Briand and a drivetrain limited to twin 320 HP motors for a 20-ton laden displacement, there is a maximum boatspeed just shy of 20 knots. The living area includes a saloon, the galley and a helm station. The large forward cabin is a success. In the hulls, the cabins embedded deep between the central floor and the bottom of the nacelle are unprecedented on board powercats of this category. It remains to be tested in rough seas to note the behavior of the tunnel between the hulls, that has necessarily reduced bridgedeck clearance. The first tests are scheduled for late October in Spain, right after the Barcelona International Boat Show - but we were faster! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Prestige Yachts Architect: Philippe Briand/Valentina Militerno De Romedis Design: Garroni Design Overall length: 48’6” (14.79 m) Hull length: 47’2” (14.37 m) Beam: 19’7” (5.98 m) Draft: 3’7” (1.08 m) Air draft: 15’9”/25’ (4.8/7.62 m) Light displacement: 38,540 lbs (17.48 t) Cruising speed: 9/18 knots Maximum speed: 19 knots Fuel: 317 US gal (1,200 l) Drivetrain: 2 x 320 HP CE category: B - 12 / C - 14 / D - 16 ► 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!
