► Full test in our next Forever Green Special Edition N°24: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/leopard-46-electric-drive-24-hours-on-board-for-a-forever-green-test ► Shipyards offering hybrid propulsion systems are promising significantly reduced fuel consumption, silent sailing and intelligent complementarity between sailing and motor sailing... all rather convincing arguments that we wanted to test on the water for 24 hours aboard a Leopard 46 Electric Drive. Setting out from Saint-Raphaël on France’s Mediterranean coast, we embarked on an unpretentious mini-cruise, where we not only tested a hybrid catamaran equipped with the Joool system (identical to that used by Fountaine Pajot) but also noted the charging and energy consumption. Even the tender – a Highfield 340 E-Propulsion – was electric. So, did we fire up the generator or not?

Blue water, breeze, and a big win. 🌊 Day 2️⃣ of the North Sound Maxi Regatta delivered on its promise—a 26-mile coastal race that started and finished in the heart of the North Sound, threading through islands and tight corners, with conditions that kept tacticians on high alert. Balthasar, powered by North Sails, sailed a smart and steady race to take the win on corrected time, while V claimed line honours. “It was very intense at the beginning—way more breeze than expected,” said North Sails expert Bouwe Bekking, project manager onboard Balthasar. “We nailed our timing at the start and got clear air. That helped us march to the first mark. We’ve done a lot of offshore races, so we know the angles, we know our sail settings. That really helped today.” With two races down and momentum building, Balthasar now leads the fleet—proof that performance, preparation, and precision continue to pay off in the Caribbean’s most scenic battleground. Back at it today. More breeze, more battles, more racing to come. 🏁🌬️ #NorthSails #MaxiRegatta #BitterEndYachtClub #NorthSound #VirginGorda 🎥 Vertigo Films | North Sound Maxi Regatta
