► 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!

Primošten, Croatia, is a hidden gem nestled along the Adriatic coast. Let me share some captivating details about this picturesque town: Historic Old Town: Primošten’s old town is perched on a peninsula that was originally an island. The island’s teardrop shape looks barely connected to the mainland. As you approach Primošten, you’ll see the Church of St. George atop the hill—a sight to behold! 🏰 Beaches: Primošten boasts stunning beaches. Mala Raduča Beach, in particular, has been recognized as one of Croatia’s top 10 beaches. Crystal-clear waters and golden sands await! 🌊☀️ Fascinating History: About five centuries ago, residents fled from the Turks and settled on the nearby island of Gola Glava. They built a wooden bridge, which they raised during times of danger. Hence, the town’s name: Primošten, meaning “bridged over.” 🌉 Our Lady of Loretto: Primošten is home to one of the world’s tallest statues of the Virgin Mary. The 17-meter-high monument, Our Lady of Loretto, is said to be visible from the Italian coast. A visit here is a must! 🙏 Charming Mix: Primošten blends historical architecture with beautiful beaches. Velika Raduča Beach and the islet of Smokvica offer idyllic spots to soak up the sun. 🏖️ Whether you’re exploring the stone houses, dining at local restaurants, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze, Primošten promises an unforgettable experience. 🇭🇷✨
