The beginning of the Waddenslalom is a fact. Gerard Dykstra took the Bestevaer 36 for her first miles to a place she was designed for, the Dutch Wadden Islands. Thanks to the centerboard, the Bestevaer 36 can seamlessly navigate between deep and shallow waters. This enables the exploration of small waters and places that would otherwise be inaccessible. The retractable keel also allows the yacht to fall dry on sandbanks, providing a unique experience. It is therefore no surprise that the Bestevaer 36 feels like a fish in the water when slaloming the Wadden Islands. Although she is compact in size, the yacht is strong enough to sail to Spitsbergen, or beyond. The ability to maneuver with ease between the shallow waters of the Wadden Islands or the deep oceans in the North Sea makes the yacht ideal for sailors who want to enjoy the beautiful scenery ánd the more challenging sea.
► Full test to discover in Multihulls World N°203. ► The head-to-head between 38 and the 380 ultimately never took place, all down to the Mistral that was coming through a little too hard, blowing at over 30 knots early on our test day we’d scheduled out of Bonifacio. So, our boat tester Brieuc Maisonneuve got to sail aboard the new Lagoon 38 in lively conditions, but the 380 remained alongside the dock. His initial reaction: “We set sail in 20 knots, gusting 30. I found the catamaran very stable despite the very short sea, and the helm was very smooth. On the downside, I wasn’t so sure about the choice of a self-tacking jib: the sail is difficult to trim at points further off the wind and lacks power when sailing close to the wind, which can result in a slightly disappointing heading. As for the comfort on board, it is exceptional for the size of the boat, and the layout of the starboard hull is a real success.” ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Lagoon Architect: VPLP Design Exterior design: Patrick Le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Length: 37’4” (11.38 m) Beam: 21’10” (6.65 m) Draft 4’2” (1.26 m) Air draft: 60’8” (18.48 m) Light displacement: 22,579 lbs (10.24 t) Mainsail: 599 sq ft (55.7 m²) Self-tacking jib: 237 sq ft (22 m²) Code 0: 581 sq ft (54 m²) Motors: 2 x 29 HP Fuel: 106 US gal (400 l) Water: 79 or 132 US gal (300 or 500 l) Berths: 6 to 10 CE category: A8/B12/C16/D20 ► 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!
