With David Doherty’s Matador taking out the 3rd act of the Pallas Capital TP52 Gold Cup, which was part of the Sail Port Stephens Regatta this weekend, here’s a flashback to earlier in the year when we shot her powering to the bottom mark off Manly for the Nautilus Marine Sydney Harbour Regatta, TP52 Aus, Middle Harbour Yacht Club Nautius Marine.
The modern Catamarans are made for comfort and not so much for sailing, that means they project a very large beam surface and the anchor cannot be effective with more than 15 kts of Crossing wind. To make the anchor effective you must upgrade to maybe 50 kg witch is unrealistic for this kind of boats, so make sure you protect your leeward quarter with a round fender or even better a permanent fender that can protect from any kind of accidental touch to the dock during your backing as well.
