► Discover our full test in Multihulls World: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/c-cat-38-lightweight-and-high-performance ► Lengthened by 73 cm (29 in), the former C Cat 37 actually gains just over two feet rather than one... Either way, its architects were predicting an appreciable speed gain of 0.9 knots with 10 knots of wind, and they weren’t wrong: the model presented in Miami has just crossed the Atlantic, taking first place in its category in the 2024 ARC rally - see our News from the Pros. In the cockpit, a comfortable aft bench and a 35 cm (14 in) longer table have been added. New features include composite davits and steering wheels, while the bowsprit and bimini are in carbon. Accommodation ranges from 2 to 4 cabins with 2 bathrooms. The cockpit can be fully enclosed with removable fabric or composite panels. This option doubles the floor space of the saloon. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder : Comar Yachts Length: 38’6” (11.73 m) Beam: 19’2” (5.84 m) Draft: 4’3” or 3’3”/7’4” (1.3 m or 0.98/2.24 m) Air draft: 55’7” or 57’10” (16.94 or 17.63 m) Displacement: 12,345 lbs (5.6 t) Mainsail: 488 sq ft (45.3 m²) Genoa: 353 sq ft (32.8 m²) Motors: 2 x 30 HP Water: 2 x 23 US gal (2 x 90 l) ► 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!

Not only will it have its Austrian premiere at the Boot Tulln, but the story behind this boat is just as exciting! 🤩 The idea for its creation was born from years of working closely with charter companies. Charter guests rarely use sails, especially on catamarans — sailing from island to island without ever raising the sails. Since they rely entirely on the engine, which isn’t sustainable, it is realized that what guests really want is a floating apartment that takes them from one island to the next with ease. You can’t miss this debut at the Austrian show, especially the standout Beneteau Monomaran. 🤞 Sign up on our website and be part of the experience! #MasterYachting #BootTulln #TullnBoatShow #BeneteauMonomaran #Sustianable #EcoFriendly #Beneteau #Charters #Cruising #SolarPanels #YachtingWorld #ConceptBoat
LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT - VOTE Yes if you think the Transom doors are safe and NO if you think they are NOT!!! WATCH - https://youtu.be/_wK55agpLYk Are transom doors on Portofino catamarans a brilliant innovation… or a serious offshore risk? 🌊⚠️ In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most debated design features of the Portofino 52 catamaran — the aft transom doors that give incredible sea access, but also sit directly in the firing line of following seas and breaking waves. We ask the hard questions every offshore sailor should ask: • Can transom doors leak in heavy seas? • Could they fail catastrophically in extreme conditions? • Are storm boards really necessary — or outdated? • How strong is 15mm acrylic (Perspex) when it’s wave-slammed? • What happens to acrylic after years of sun exposure? To get real answers, we go straight to the source — Rafael, the designer — and break down the engineering, materials, certifications, drainage systems, gaskets, aluminum frames, and wave-impact design behind these doors. This isn’t theory. This is real-world boatbuilding, explained in detail. You’ll also learn: ✔️ Why these doors are RINA-certified watertight ✔️ How pressure from waves actually seals the door tighter ✔️ Why the dive room acts as a coffer dam for safety and buoyancy ✔️ The hidden long-term danger of UV-damaged Perspex ✔️ Why older boats fail — and modern ones don’t We finish by putting the decision back to you. 👉 Would you trust these transom doors offshore? 👉 Storm boards: Yes or No?
