► Full test in our next Forever Green Special Edition N°24: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/leopard-46-electric-drive-24-hours-on-board-for-a-forever-green-test ► Shipyards offering hybrid propulsion systems are promising significantly reduced fuel consumption, silent sailing and intelligent complementarity between sailing and motor sailing... all rather convincing arguments that we wanted to test on the water for 24 hours aboard a Leopard 46 Electric Drive. Setting out from Saint-Raphaël on France’s Mediterranean coast, we embarked on an unpretentious mini-cruise, where we not only tested a hybrid catamaran equipped with the Joool system (identical to that used by Fountaine Pajot) but also noted the charging and energy consumption. Even the tender – a Highfield 340 E-Propulsion – was electric. So, did we fire up the generator or not?

► Full test in Multihulls World N195: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/yot-36-the-new-wave-of-twin-hulled-motorboating ► In deciding not to market a power version of the Bali Catsmart, the Catana Group was keen to develop a concept and soon a range totally disconnected from the sailing culture built up by Catana and Bali. The very first 36-foot YOT is presented as a weekender - a big toy with a metallic gelcoat that you’ll just love... in fact, YOT sounds like a childish version of “yacht”, and also, it’s TOY in reverse. YOT/TOY, in a way, like NEEL/LEEN: two metatheses with the same “marketing mission”, and yet a completely opposite end goal - to stand out from sailing for YOT, and to draw inspiration from it for LEEN. Nevertheless, this first YOT 36 is a real eye-catcher. Devilishly attractive, this model should appeal to single-hull powerboat enthusiasts and first-time buyers alike. The outboard-powered range is set to expand rapidly before being completed by inboard models. These new powercats are built in Portugal, and the Catana Group makes no secret of its ambitions for its new brand: the aim is to match the sailing market by 2030, with no fewer than 400 YOTs built every year... ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: YOT (Catana Group) Architect: J&J Design Material: polyester with carbon reinforcements Overall length: 35’10” (10.92 m) Beam: 13’1”/17’9” (3.99/5.4 m) Engines: 2 x 225 HP or 2 x 300 HP Fuel: 2 x 150 US gal (2 x 575 l) Water: 2 x 39 US gal (2 x 150 l) Number of cabins: 2 Passengers: 10 CE Category: B ► 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!

Finally! A little weekend getaway… ✨ Or well, more like a full-on work weekend on Vela. We packed our biggest IKEA bag and moved aboard for a few days to get as much done as possible. The to-do list is still long, but waking up on the boat again makes all the hard work worth it! We tackled cleaning, polishing, anti fouling, engine maintenance, and a bunch of small fixes. And of course, Anker made sure to keep morale high with his morning yoga. Not exactly a relaxing getaway, but definitely our kind of weekend! ⛵
