Home built Transit 38 sailing catamaran by Woods Designs in the Bahamas 2011 Overtaking a motoring Norseman 43 catamaran even with no one steering (our autopilot was broken). When we first saw the Norseman it was sailing to windward on the same course as we were. But we caught it up quickly and, as always, the slower boat started its engines and dropped sails. I raced a Norseman 43 in the Capetown to Rio race, see my website for more details I also have a range of other multihull designs, both power and sail from 14-45ft that you can build yourself from plans.

Gunboats are built to move. Here's a quick look at the range including the new addition - a Gran Turismo catamaran. ▫️ "Sail Fast. Live Fully". That's the new mantra at Gunboat where they are developing a new line of luxury performance yachts: the Fusion 80. She's designed so performance and comfort do not compete but rather reinforce each other.  ▫️ How Have They Achieved That? ▫️ The Fusion 80 has been engineered to outperform its volume class by ~30%. They have achieved this through: - High-aspect appendages. A stiff, lightweight composite platform - Optimised hydrodynamics by VPLP Low friction, efficient hull forms - A large, balanced sail plan (310m2 upwind) Less weight (25T) = more wind unlocked ▫️ The Fusion 80 sails in 6-8 knots of breeze where heavy cruisers motor. ▫️ Longer sailing windows, quieter passages, less motoring. ▫️ We're looking forward to seeing this one on the water! ▫️ #luxury #yacht #gunboat72 #gunboat68 @GUNBOATCATAMARANS
