In de Griekse Cycladen ligt het eiland Naxos. En in het noorden vind je het kustdorp Apollonas, met de bekende witte huizen uit de Cycladen. En daar vlak achter, best wel verscholen, een marmergroeve uit de anieke oudheid. Want Naxos staat bekend om het marmer dat hier gedolven wordt en werd sinds de oudheid. Daar ligt een enorme, onvoltooide Kouros: een mannenbeeld uit de 6e eeuw v.Chr., uitgehouwen in Naxisch marmer, dat maar liefst elf meter lang is. Dit beeld wordt ook wel de Kolossus van Dionysus genoemd. Bij het hoofd zie je dat er scheuren in het marmer zitten en daarom is het beeld dat eigenlijk bijna af was, vermoedelijk hier achter gebleven. Voor ons in de 21ste eeuw een geluk, dat we dus zo’n beeld nog kunnen bewonderen!

► The event, whose name translates as the Second-hand Multihull and Refit Show was held this year from October 11 to 13 at Canet-en-Roussillon in the South of France, and it more than lived up to its promise, with some 32 multihulls on display and a surprise new location at the Pôle Nautique – a center opening up great development opportunities. On the docks, visitors were able to discover a village entirely dedicated to multihulls, presenting all the necessary parts and services – boating equipment, electronics, deck hardware, sail making, financing solutions, insurance, marine surveyors, transport, charter and even advice for blue water cruising. The boats on show were mainly 40 to 60-footers. For future editions, it would be great to see more powercats and especially more multihulls under €200,000 in the hope that this would encourage more owners to take part in the event, and not just brokers. Among the encouraging developments at this still young show (2024 was its 9th edition), there will also be greater international exposure. The highlight of these three 100% multihull days was undoubtedly the attendance of the trimaran The Famous Project. This craft, which is none other than the former IDEC, is the backbone of an exceptional 100% female challenge, as Alexia Barrier and her 7 seasoned crew will be setting off in 2025 with the aim of winning the Jules Vernes Trophy - the record for a non-stop circumnavigation of the globe via the Great Capes. ► 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!

► Full article in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/great-abaco-where-cruising-becomes-magical ► Located 180 miles east-northeast of Miami, the Abaco Islands archipelago is a string of low coral and sand islands scattered across a giant swimming pool... Here, thanks to their shoal draft, the multihull is king - which is not the case for big keelboats. In a soothing and enchanting atmosphere, you will discover traditional villages, beaches with sand as white as flour and reefs rich in marine life. From the Sunsail base in Marsh Harbour, we crisscrossed the water for you as far as Nunjack Cay in the north and Little Harbour in the south.
