The full review of the M.9, the prototype of the M.10, is out! You can order it here: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/m9-m10-s-prototype-a-100-electric-powercat or read it for free if you are a Multihulls World subscriber. The M9 electric powercat - built in St Malo, Brittany, then assembled and completed in Caen, on France’s Channel coast - made its public debut in the Mediterranean. But what’s so special about this new model? Its two-sided solar-powered wings, that unfold when under way: the photovoltaic cells facing the sea thus capture the sun’s reflection from the surface of the water. In total, the solar installation is capable of producing 6 kWp, a considerable figure for a catamaran just over 30 feet in length. At 6 knots, range is unlimited - during the day, weather permitting. The second remarkable technological innovation is the car-like control interface. The on-board computer controls all the settings and manages the virtual anchor system: the motors are connected to the GPS position to “hold” the boat without the need to drop an anchor. A third point worthy of note: when folded, the solar wings, together with removable glass panels and canvas sections, transform the central part of the powercat into an enclosed space measuring 130 square feet (12 m²), called the deck cabin. The table in the saloon can be lowered, and cushions added, to create a double 4’7” (1.4 m) berth. The interior is cozy and include a galley. In the hulls, there are two cabins and a heads compartment. The foredeck is fitted with a trampoline, which is lighter than a rigid deck. At the stern, the yard has designed two bathing platforms.

As sailors, we know it doesn't always go to plan and you can end up waiting around for the wind! Luckily it filled in for some afternoon racing on Day 2 at the RS500 Worlds. The class made the most of the ☀️☀️☀️ in the morning. #rssailing #sailitliveitloveit #rs500worlds

Ready to take your 22-40ft. sailboat out for the first time? In this episode of the Captain's Salon, we break down the basics of sailing, terms & concepts every beginner needs to confidently navigate lakes and bays. Buying a sailboat is the first step, but gaining the confidence to leave the dock is where the real journey begins. Join me in my salon as I pull from three essential sailing books to glean the best "sailing speak" and turn it into plain English. Whether you're on a Texas lake, reservoir, or a coastal bay, mastering terms like Port, Starboard, Tack or Jibe is your foundation for safety and fun while your sailing on the water. #SailingForBeginners #LearningToSail #NewBoatOwner #Sailing101 #HowToSail #cruisinglife #sailingtips #smallboatsailing #lakesailing #baysailing #coastalsailing
