? 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... ?

? Full test in Special Issue N°24 Forever Green. ? Despite its relatively traditional appearance, the MaxCruise 44 SC is hiding a few surprises! What's different about this catamaran is its asymmetrical hybrid powertrain, combining safety and energy efficiency. This propulsion system has been tested over a 10,000-mile journey from Vietnam all the way to France. The hull of the Max 44SC has very fine-entry bows, which we found to guarantee a remarkable glide through the water in light airs, while its intelligently laid-out deck hardware facilitates short-handed maneuvering and contributes to making this model a very seaworthy multihull. This is a wonderful surprise that is shaking up the market standards and will soon be improved even further, as the shipyard has just announced the Max 45 SC, a revised and updated version of the 44 that will be able to carry a heavier load for blue water cruising. ? TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Max Cruise Marine Length: 43' (13.1 m) Waterline length: 42' (12.8 m) Beam: 23'11" (7.3 m) Draft: 21"/5'10" or 3'10" (0.54/1.77 m or 1.16 m) Displacement: 16,975 lbs (7.7 t) Upwind sail area: 1,059 sq ft (98.4 m2) Mainsail: 732 sq ft (68 m2) Self-tacking solent: 327 sq ft (30.4 m2) Gennaker: 840 sq ft (78 m2) Engines: 2 x 25 HP outboards or 2 x 30 HP inboards ?
