► Full test in Multihulls World Special Issue N°20 FOREVER GREEN N°2. ► In the spirit of their R4, Dutch-based builder Vaan Yachts are offering a new 49-foot catamaran. With construction still in recycled aluminum, this model is built using a maximum of recyclable materials that have sometimes already been recycled themselves, and/or are biosourced. Propulsion is provided by electric motors. The main innovation of the R5 is that there’s an option to choose a short or longer coachroof: the “Life-Aboard” version allows for a saloon of 320 sq ft (30 m²). In good weather, this area can be largely opened up. On the foredeck, you can opt for a lounge space or a large sunbathing area. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Vaan Yachts Material: aluminum Length: 49’ (14.95 m) Beam: 26’1” (7.94 m) Draft: 3’11” / 6’7” (1.2/2 m) with optional daggerboards Air draft: 78’1” (23.8 m) Mainsail: 860 sq ft (80 m²) Self-tacking jib: 485 sq ft (45 m²) Code 0: 1,290 sq ft (120 m²) Gennaker: 1,830 sq ft (170 m²) Drivetrain: 2 x electric saildrives ► 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!

This 21-foot 4-inch all-fiberglass boat was designed with a nod to the growing popularity of pontoons in coastal markets, where they often run in salt water. There's nothing wrong with running an aluminum boat in salt water -- the Navy does it every day -- but there's no question a fiberglass boat better fits the décor, if you will, in the coastal community. In other words, you won't look like you just moved in from Minnesota. The Fun Chaser hull has a one-piece catamaran-type bottom topped with a perfectly flat fiberglass deck, to which fiberglass seat bases are mounted. The outboard face of the seat bases form the "sides" of the boat. The seating is typical for a pontoon, with a pair of facing lounges forward and a wrap-around aft lounge in the port corner. There are boarding gates at the bow, amidships to port, and at the stern where there's a bit of a swim platform and a ladder. All the lounge seats have deeply-bolstered backs and a polished stainless top rail, and stainless steel drink holders are scattered liberally about. Stowage below each seat is generous because the deck is cut away so the compartment goes down into the hull.
