► Full test in Multihulls World Special Issue N°20 FOREVER GREEN N°2. ► In the spirit of their R4, Dutch-based builder Vaan Yachts are offering a new 49-foot catamaran. With construction still in recycled aluminum, this model is built using a maximum of recyclable materials that have sometimes already been recycled themselves, and/or are biosourced. Propulsion is provided by electric motors. The main innovation of the R5 is that there’s an option to choose a short or longer coachroof: the “Life-Aboard” version allows for a saloon of 320 sq ft (30 m²). In good weather, this area can be largely opened up. On the foredeck, you can opt for a lounge space or a large sunbathing area. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Vaan Yachts Material: aluminum Length: 49’ (14.95 m) Beam: 26’1” (7.94 m) Draft: 3’11” / 6’7” (1.2/2 m) with optional daggerboards Air draft: 78’1” (23.8 m) Mainsail: 860 sq ft (80 m²) Self-tacking jib: 485 sq ft (45 m²) Code 0: 1,290 sq ft (120 m²) Gennaker: 1,830 sq ft (170 m²) Drivetrain: 2 x electric saildrives ► 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 500 multihulls tests!
