As Super-yachts go, they do not come much nicer than this, built at the famous Privilege Shipyard in Les Sables-d’Olonne in France, graced with an envious pedigree of a long line of quality built catamarans. There really are very few catamarans in this class built to this kind of standards these days and a rarely available example. With build times stretching to over two years with many manufacturers, there is a great chance to get what you want now before your too old to enjoy it! Her beautiful lines and curves give her an outstanding first impression and being a catamaran space on board compared to a conventional superyacht of comparable length is mind-blowing. With her white sails billowing and feeling the powerful surge as she leaps forward, she really is a sight that stirs the unbridled passion of any sailor Being an immensely sought after vessel, she will be sold quickly to the first discerning buyer, that will immediately fall in love with her. Combined ultimate luxury coupled with a performance for a catamaran this size little is compromised in the construction and interior finished and attention to detail is second to none. This is a true ocean crosser, ideal to explore the world's oceans in comfort and enjoy the adventure of a lifetime. Professionally Skippered from new she has always been in safe hands and her current owner has had no expense spared in keeping her in first class condition. This one is fully loaded with every option and more! This amazing catamaran is based on mainland Spain within a reasonable driving distance of both Alicante and Murcia Airports. Lift out facilities are close by for an inspection and all services. This is a rare opportunity to purchase such an amazing yacht, don’t let this one slip through your fingers…. Year: 2011

The foiling windsurfers on Lake Garda make it look easy during an early morning session. It will not be long until the wind does its regular flip to come from the other direction for the afternoon session.

LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT - VOTE Yes if you think the Transom doors are safe and NO if you think they are NOT!!! WATCH - https://youtu.be/_wK55agpLYk Are transom doors on Portofino catamarans a brilliant innovation… or a serious offshore risk? 🌊⚠️ In this episode, we take a deep dive into one of the most debated design features of the Portofino 52 catamaran — the aft transom doors that give incredible sea access, but also sit directly in the firing line of following seas and breaking waves. We ask the hard questions every offshore sailor should ask: • Can transom doors leak in heavy seas? • Could they fail catastrophically in extreme conditions? • Are storm boards really necessary — or outdated? • How strong is 15mm acrylic (Perspex) when it’s wave-slammed? • What happens to acrylic after years of sun exposure? To get real answers, we go straight to the source — Rafael, the designer — and break down the engineering, materials, certifications, drainage systems, gaskets, aluminum frames, and wave-impact design behind these doors. This isn’t theory. This is real-world boatbuilding, explained in detail. You’ll also learn: ✔️ Why these doors are RINA-certified watertight ✔️ How pressure from waves actually seals the door tighter ✔️ Why the dive room acts as a coffer dam for safety and buoyancy ✔️ The hidden long-term danger of UV-damaged Perspex ✔️ Why older boats fail — and modern ones don’t We finish by putting the decision back to you. 👉 Would you trust these transom doors offshore? 👉 Storm boards: Yes or No?
