After the Brest Atlantiques in 2019, a 17,000-mile race sailed double-handed + a mediaman, Ultim Sailing has proposed to the Ultim class a new crewed race (6 sailors per trimaran) over a distance of 3,500 miles to be raced on the North Atlantic, every 2 years, in even-numbered years. For 2024, the course has been modified to allow the Ultims to sail the Mediterranean basin, and to offer residents of the southern regions of France the chance to discover these fantastic machines. That’s how our publicity manager Maria Chanau set off aboard Sodebo 3 for a few hours, accompanied by her skipper Thomas Coville and the guest star of the day, six-time Olympic swimming medalist Florent Manaudou. There was little wind for this outing off Antibes, but Maria was still able to steer the mellowed-out rocketship: “This trimaran is really huge! It's amazing how easy the crew find it to maneuver: in 40 seconds, the mainsail is hoisted to the masthead! On the other hand, I don't know how 8 of them manage to live in there for 50 days. The living space is tiny, noise is omnipresent, and the galley is limited to a single gas burner...” Full report coming soon in Multihulls World! ► 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!

► Cruise in Multihulls World Special Issue Power N21: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/ibiza-barcelona-300-nautical-miles-on-a-leen-56 ► Full test in Multihulls World Special issue N16: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/leen-56-welcome-aboard-an-ocean-going-vessel ► 300 nm aboard one of the very rare motor trimarans on the market NEEL Trimarans, born in 2009, can claim to be the only manufacturer to offer large production trimarans - 30 units are produced every year. This new brand of powered trimarans called LEEN (a clever reflection of Neel, being named after the owner and founder of the yard, Eric Bruneel). The first model launched (before the 72 and now the very new the 51) is therefore the LEEN 56, characterized by the two floats significantly shorter at the bows compared to the central hull, and by a platform of large surface-area, topped by an imposing flybridge. The advantage of these new ocean-going multihulls is their very low drag: consumption will be limited to 2 liters (just over ½ US gal) per mile at cruising speed (9 knots). The diesel engine in the central hull can be supported by two electric pods - one in each hull - to facilitate maneuvering in port and for leaving an anchorage with the greatest discretion. We were able to sail aboard hull #2 for 300 miles from Ibiza to Barcelona. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Leen Trimarans Architects: Nivelt and Frutschi Overall length: 56’1” (17.10 m) Beam: 27’1” (8.25 m) Draft: 4’3” (1.30 m) Light displacement: 48,500 lbs (22 t) Water: 215 US gal (825 l) Fuel: 1,520 US gal (6,000 l) Motor: 305 HP Cruising speed: 9/10 knots Max speed: 11.5 knots Cabins: 3 to 6 CE Certification: A ► 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!
