On my third research journey up the length of Japan, I’ve returned to Matsue Castle in Shimane Prefecture — the region that’s ranked number one in Japan for twelve consecutive years for the number of centenarians per 100,000 people. Just 48 hours ago, I left my boat in Amami, flew to Tokyo to surprise my son on his birthday, and then took two long trains to reach Shimane, where I’ll be spending the week writing, soaking up the atmosphere, and conducting more interviews for my upcoming book on longevity and community in Japan. A longer video is coming soon with updates from the past few months — including some sailing adventures — but for now, here’s a glimpse of where the next chapter of this journey unfolds. Remember, it’s never too late to get out and about.

► Full test in Multihulls World 187: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/dazcat-1295-two-hulls-no-compromises Darren Newton, the designer-builder of the Dazcat range, likes to validate his work by racing his catamarans, even those (such as the 1295) that are oriented towards blue water cruising. Designed to sail far and long-term with a short-handed crew, the 12.95 is also often the fastest in a race, even on a technical course. The designer and shipyard are very exacting on the weight calculations and weight centering. As with all Dazcats, each owner has a margin of customization according to his or her program. This is a most talented cat! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Multimarine Manufacturing Ltd Length: 42’6” (12.95 m) Beam: 21’4” (6.50 m) Light displacement: 11,575 lbs (5.25 t) Draft: 2’8”/7’7” (0.80/2.30 m) Mainsail: 645 sq ft (60 m²) Genoa: 323 sq ft (30 m²) Asymmetric spi: 1,560 sq ft (145 m²) No. of cabins: 2 to 4 Water: 132 US gal (500 l) Diesel: 31 US gal (120 l) Engines: 2 x 21 HP ► 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!

Conçu pour naviguer loin et longtemps en équipage réduit, le 1295 peut également être le plus rapide lors d'une régate, y compris lors d’un parcours technique. Designer et chantier sont très exigeants sur le devis des masses et le centrage des poids. Comme pour tous les Dazcat, chaque propriétaire conserve une marge de personnalisation en fonction de son programme. Un vrai surdoué, ce cata ! ► CARACTERISTIQUES TECHNIQUES Constructeur : Multimarine Manufacturing Ltd Longueur : 12,95 m Largeur : 6,60 m Déplacement lège : 5,5 t Tirant d'eau : 0,80/2,00 m Grand-voile : 60 m2 Génois : 30 m2 Spi : 145 m2 Cabines : 2 à 4 Eau : 500 l Carburant : 120 l Motorisation : 2 x 21 CV ► Abonnez-vous GRATUITEMENT à la chaîne YouTube de Multicoques Mag dès maintenant – https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Connectez-vous à notre site Web pour découvrir plus de 500 essais !
