Whenever we get dolphins at the bow when we are sailing it’s as if it’s the first time ever. This never will get old.

We’ve enjoyed working with Dutch cruising yacht specialists Hutting who have asked us to design a 52-footer for long distance cruising

Opening sequence for the Great Loop videos. 2026 is the year this wild idea of a solar electric catamaran becomes our full time home as we travel 6,000 miles around America’s Great Loop. We start by going North along the ICW and Chesapeake Bay. After the Hudson River takes us past New York City, it’s off to the Trent Severn Waterway, Georgian Bay and Great Lakes. Next, we head through downtown Chicago as we follow the birds South down the Inland Rivers into the Gulf. From there we navigate around Florida. Weather permitting, we would like to try our hand at bluewater as we jump across to the Bahamas for a month. Finally, we pick back up with the ICW and cross our wake sometime in 2027! Please come along and support our adventure by clicking like, share and subscribe but most importantly comment.

Tschüss 2 Claims IRC Super Zero Victory at the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race Christian Zugel’s Tschüss 2 (USA70000), co-skippered by Johnny Mordaunt, has taken the win in the highly competitive IRC Super Zero division at the centenary edition of the Rolex Fastnet Race. The VO70 completed the iconic offshore course in an elapsed time of 2 days, 17 hours, and 21 minutes, crossing the finish line off Cherbourg at 05:11 BST on 29 July 2025. With a TCC of 1.617, Tschüss 2 corrected out to a final time of 4 days, 9 hours, and 40 minutes — edging ahead of high-calibre rivals including Roy Disney’s Pyewacket 70 and the 30m Leopard 3, skippered by Chris Sherlock. The win caps off an outstanding season for the former Groupama 4 VO70, originally skippered by Franck Cammas in the Volvo Ocean Race. Now flying the flag for the United States, Tschüss 2 continues to build an impressive offshore racing legacy under Zugel’s leadership. #RolexFastnetRace #Tschüss2 #IRCZero #OffshoreRacing #RORCracing #VO70

► Full test in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/xquisite-sixty-solar-sail-technology-performance-and-comfort ► Making her premiere at Annapolis, the big sistership of the X5 Plus adopts a relatively conventional design - the big arch around the cockpit is now more gone. At the show, we went on board, followed by a test sail that we’ll be reporting on very soon in Multihulls World, and the care taken with the overall ergonomics and the finish is clear to see. The name Solar reflects the manufacturer's desire to limit fossil fuel consumption by offering an impressive surface area of solar panels. Some neat touches will improve life when cruising, such as the forward sunbathing area that’s well protected between the coachroof uprights, the aft platform equipped with a carbon mini-crane and the large holds, and lockers ready to store all your nautical equipment. The helm and maneuvering station is elegantly protected by a hard-top, not to mention the rigid handrail that surrounds the entire deck. A semi-custom finish is offered by the manufacturer. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Xquisite Yachts Length: 59’1” (18 m) Beam: 29’2” (8.91 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Light displacement: 60,650 lbs (27.5 t) Mainsail: 1,356 sq ft (126 m²) Jib: 969 sq ft (90 m²) Code D: 2,260 sq ft (210 m²) Engines: 2 x 110 HP ► 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!
