This 25ft Elf catamaran is shown sailing under bare poles in a gale off S Spain on an 800 miles trip home from the Canaries. Note how dry the boat is and how relaxed the singlehander - he's filming it after all! The Elf 25 is a grp catamaran and is now back in production in N France.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°197. ► Two years: that’s how long it’s taken to complete the Lagoon 60 project from A to Z - the replacement for the emblematic 630, that has seen unrivalled success in this size of catamaran (169 sailing models and another 58 examples of the 630 MY, the power version!). Seeking to ride a powerful wave of events motivated by the celebration of the shipyard’s 40th anniversary, Lagoon organized a world premiere event at home, at one of the Bordeaux yard’s platforms, where all models over 50 feet are built. The waterfront event was intended to be festive and even celebratory, with the presence of former international basketball player Boris Diaw, the brand’s ambassador. Lagoon also took the opportunity to showcase their full range of 40 to 77-foot yachts, both afloat and ashore. In terms of outline, the new 60-foot model, as ever signed by VPLP, presents a silhouette relatively similar to that of the 55, except that the sail plan uses the overlapping genoa of the latest 51. The main innovation on deck concerns the aft cockpit, literally transformed into a beach club by eliminating the traditional bench seat. This enormous surface area is further enlarged by an aft platform and fold-down bulwarks. As for relaxation space, the forward cockpit and huge flybridge, equipped with a full galley, are not to be outdone. For the interior, the designers have managed to ensure totally flush circulation from one cockpit to the other, including of course the nacelle - a floor without steps, and that changes everything! We've already booked our sea trial of the Lagoon 60, which will be undertaken off Palma de Mallorca in June - stay tuned! ► Builder: Lagoon Architect: VPLP Design Exterior design: Patrick le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Length overall: 59’11” (18.27 m) Beam: 32’5” (9.87 m) Draft: 5’5” (1.65 m) Air draft: 98’ (30 m) Light displacement (CE): 70,560 lbs (32 t) Upwind sail area: 2,571 sq ft (239 m²) Mainsail: 1,603 sq ft (149 m²) Genoa: 968 sq ft (90 m²) Motors: 2 x 150 HP Fuel: 343 US gal (1,300 l) Water: 254 US gal (960 l) Berths: 8 to 14 CE Category: A: 14 / B: 14 / C: 20 / D: 20 www.catamarans-lagoon.com ► 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!

tamattina, in rada a Presidiana (Cefalù) sveglia un po' prima dell'alba per mettersi in rotta verso Tindari. Con la piccola Horus abbiamo percorso poco meno di 60 miglia. Trasferimento tutto sommato tranquillo, ma per me anche un poco stancante. Lungo la rotta ho trovato due temporali che mi hanno costretto a ridurre le vele, per poi riaprirle. Insomma, abbassa la randa e chiudi il genoa (durante i groppi il vento girava e rinforzava anche fino a 40 nodi), alza la randa e apri il genoa. E così per un paio di volte. Poi, a Gioiosa marea, qui vicino, ikl vento mi ha mollato e le ultime 7 miglia le ho fatto con randa e motore. A mare ho spiegato tutta la mia potenza di fuoco per pescare (due canne e due affondatori). Risultato: fra poco mi preparo un bel piatto di pasta! Ieri sera ho preso una delle mie maledette pillole che se da un lato mi allungano la vita, dall'altra mi fanno stare male per un po'. E temo che, dopo aver parlato con i miei medici, che stasera dovrò ripetere l'operazione. Ma così è la vita e non ho titolo per lamentarmi.
