► Full test in Multihulls World Special Issue Power 19: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/prestige-m48-a-long-awaited-powercat ► Motorboat manufacturer Prestige already has three monohull ranges, making them one of the undisputed world leaders in the sector, with over 4,000 examples produced over the past 30 years. The launch of the M48 is therefore a nice surprise for powercat fans! This new model inaugurates a complete new range which will soon represent 40% of the brand's turnover. The power catamaran that we discovered in Cannes features very clean lines and respects the brand’s design - it is still the Italian studio Garroni Design in charge. With a hull drawn by Philippe Briand and a drivetrain limited to twin 320 HP motors for a 20-ton laden displacement, there is a maximum boatspeed just shy of 20 knots. The living area includes a saloon, the galley and a helm station. The large forward cabin is a success. In the hulls, the cabins embedded deep between the central floor and the bottom of the nacelle are unprecedented on board powercats of this category. It remains to be tested in rough seas to note the behavior of the tunnel between the hulls, that has necessarily reduced bridgedeck clearance. The first tests are scheduled for late October in Spain, right after the Barcelona International Boat Show - but we were faster! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Prestige Yachts Architect: Philippe Briand/Valentina Militerno De Romedis Design: Garroni Design Overall length: 48’6” (14.79 m) Hull length: 47’2” (14.37 m) Beam: 19’7” (5.98 m) Draft: 3’7” (1.08 m) Air draft: 15’9”/25’ (4.8/7.62 m) Light displacement: 38,540 lbs (17.48 t) Cruising speed: 9/18 knots Maximum speed: 19 knots Fuel: 317 US gal (1,200 l) Drivetrain: 2 x 320 HP CE category: B - 12 / C - 14 / D - 16 ► 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!

Imagine coming face to face with the biggest fish in the sea – the whale shark. That’s just what happened to a group of lucky passengers with Great Adventures in a very rare encounter while they were seated in the semi-submarine at Moore Reef. This vision was captured by one of the lucky passengers. The whale shark, estimated to be 4 - 5 metres in length swam up close and alongside the semi-sub window as excited passengers looked on in awe. Quicksilver Group Environment and Compliance Manager Doug Baird said. “For what is the world’s largest fish, we really do know very little about them and their behaviour here on the east coast of Australia.” More often associated with the northern waters of Western Australia, whale shark encounters on the Great Barrier Reef are quite sporadic. This sighting is of great interest to researchers who have been working to identify a potential whale shark aggregation site in the far north regions of the Reef. As the largest fish in the sea reaching lengths of over 12 metres, whale sharks are docile fish feeding mostly on plankton, crab larvae and jellyfish, which they scoop up with their colossal gaping mouths while swimming close to the water’s surface. They are listed as a vulnerable species and prior to the mid 1980s there were less than 350 confirmed reports of whale sharks world-wide. Researchers are able to identify individuals from photographs by analysing the patterns of markings on their bodies - a bit like fingerprints.
