? 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... ?

Giorno 276 di questo viaggio intorno al mondo La vita è fatta di respiri. Le onde lo insegnano continuamente. Up & down. Momento lassù, all'apice del mondo, dove tutto funziona, il lavoro va bene, l'azienda fattura, c'è serenità in famiglia e ti sembra possibile perfino sfiorare una cometa. Respiro. Un crollo al lavoro, una tempesta improvvisa, un maltempo non previsto. Respiro. Cercare di stare in cima alla torre dorata è un tentativo inutile. Solo scendere ci fa capire quanto sia bello il panorama lassù. Così la vita in porto ci ricorda quanto amiamo il mare, le sue onde, i suoi insegnamenti, il suo blu. Fortunatamente questa è una discesa attenuata:) Solo il vento dal Portogallo ci tiene bloccati qui. Aspettiamo e lavoriamo. Esploriamo e ci amiamo. Che per quello, c'è sempre tempo. ??
