The growing sports boat and high-performance scene has triggered a re-think for clothing which has resulted in Musto expanding its LPX range. In essence it’s a more streamlined version of the new HPX ocean spec kit with the focus on making it easier to move around. Pockets, collars and hoods along with many other details came up for review in order to ensure that the new designs worked well in the fast-moving sportsboat environment.
► Our Sydney-based correspondent Kevin Green had the opportunity to sail aboard the Cure 55 following its world premiere at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show. No sooner had he stepped ashore than our tester gave us his first impressions: “I’ve just tested the Cure 55. This is without doubt the most impressive performance cruiser I have sailed in years (and that’s not just because it’s Australian!) Fast, lightweight and quite maneuverable, this catamaran really has a lot to offer for 3.5 million Australian dollars.” In fact, the Cure 55 #1, which is the Performance version, is a sharp all-carbon catamaran that makes the most of its one-piece structure to keep its displacement down to just over 9 tons. The hulls are angled at 2.5° like the old Catanas, with very fine entry, slightly inverted bows, and daggerboards. The Hall Spars rig is obviously also in carbon, as is the Park Avenue boom that sits flush with the coachroof. The result? The Cure 55 reaches 20 knots with disconcerting ease... ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Cure Marine Overall length: 58’4” (17.78 m) Beam: 28’6” (8.69 m) Draft: 4’3”/7’11” (1.3/2.41 m) Light displacement: 20,950 lbs (9.5 t) Mainsail: 1,173 sq ft (109 m²) Self-tacking jib: 592 sq ft (55 m²) Gennaker: 2,110 sq ft (196 m²) Water: 211 US gal (800 l) Fuel: 211 US gal (800 l) Engines: 2 x 57 HP www.curemarine.com.au ► 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 600 multihulls tests!

Thinking about using a yacht for your business and want to know about tax breaks? Section 179 lets you deduct part of the cost upfront, but only if the yacht is truly for business (To qualify you must prove Active Participation and Ability & Intent to make a profit) and there are spending limits. Bonus depreciation offers even bigger deductions. Remember, the IRS is strict, so consult a tax pro specializing in yacht businesses.
Sailing from Europe to Africa and Crossing the Atlantic to the Caribbean and Central America we sailed over 7,000 in 2024 and visited 16 countries. We survived hurricane Beryl and made many new friends. Thanks to everyone who watched our episodes last year, we had over 2.5 million views but only 10,000 new subscribers, so please make sure you subscribe, it costs you nothing but gives us a chance of being promoted more by YT in 2025 and being able to go on making videos. Happy new Year!
