The GLY World Odyssey 500 yachts brought gifts, their own and gifts received from Byond Relief NZ & Rotary Russel island NZ in Opua to be transported to the 10 local communities visited in May 2023. In order to avoid problems, these 'small' gifts were only given after a public event was arranged with the local village leader so everything was done 'in the open' and shared fairly between the local people. To preserve their dignity, the sailors accepted the generous gifts of fresh fruits & local handicrafts given to them. A win-win situation as it should always be! Thanks also to our fund raising patrons who generously donated solar lights (seen in another video) to these communities. This 'mission' was born after the last 2 tropical cyclones and earthquake that hit Vanuatu in March 2023. Thankfully most communities are quite resilient but still need some help in the aftermath of previous cyclones where little help was received because of pandemic restrictions. Thanks to s/v Fou de Bassan for short video.

► Discover our full test in Multihulls World N°200: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/swiss-cat-55-glamorous-and-efficient ► Swiss Cat Yachts is ramping up business, having kept a relatively low profile in recent years: their new 55 made a big impression at Cannes with its inverted bows, modern, attractive layouts and, of course, its electric metallic blue exterior. Circulation on board is optimized thanks to wide side-decks and gentle slopes - such as the steps between the cockpit and the sugarscoops. The deck layout is particularly uncluttered, with minimalist helm stations. The weight calculation of around 31,000 lbs (14 t) and the generous sail area (1,840 square feet/171 m² upwind) guarantee excellent performance even in light airs. In rough seas, the 3’3”/1-meter bridgedeck clearance will protect the catamaran from slamming. As for the cutter rig, it guarantees safety and ease of handling offshore. This new 55, like all Swisscat models, can be customized according to the owner’s wishes. ► Technical Specifications Builder: Swiss Cat Yachts Architect: YDC Design: Amadio and Partners Length: 55’5” (16.9 m) Beam: 26’11” (8.2 m) Displacement: 30,865 lbs (14 t) Draft: 2’2”/9’6” (0.66/2.9 m) Mast length: 733’10” (22.5 m) Mainsail: 1,087 sq ft (101 m²) Genoa: 753 sq ft (70 m²) Gennaker: 1,722 sq ft (160 m²) Spinnaker: 2,690 sq ft (250 m²) ► 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!
