► Full test in Multihulls World N°193. ► The Gunboat 72 had its first official presentation at Cannes, and was impossible to miss, with its mast towering over 100 feet (30 meters) above the carpeted pontoons! Slightly longer and beamier than the Gunboat 68 (a model approaching the end of its career), the new catamaran also boasts a larger nacelle and, above all, a vast flybridge - a first! The aim is to introduce a comfortable, fast and luxurious multiyacht into the Gunboat family. Obviously, the 72 remains a high-performance catamaran, capable of sailing at wind speed from 8 knots. Compared to the speedy 68, it weighs over 10 tons, despite extreme care in the choice of materials and build quality... but the sail plan gives the impression of being more powerful than that of the Gunboat 68 Racing – 3,100 square feet (288 m²) upwind versus 2,712 sq ft (252 m²), and 4,844 sq ft (450 m²) downwind versus 4,682 sq ft (435 m²). Note that accommodation layouts are designed according to the owner’s wishes. ► Technical specifications: Builder: Gunboat Length: 72’2” (22 m) Waterline length: 72’2” (22 m) Beam: 30’10” (9.4 m) Draft: 5’7”/12’6” (1.7/3.8 m) Air draft: 106’2” (32.37 m) Light displacement: 62,600 lbs (28.4 t) Loaded displacement: 71,650 lbs (32.5 t) Mainsail area: 1,830 sq ft (170 m²) Solent: 1,270 sq ft (118 m²) A3 Spinnaker: 3,014 sq ft (280 m²) Fuel: 343 US gal (1,300 l) Water: 222 US gal (840 l) ► 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!

It's getting warmer and greener and nature seems at peace with all flowers blossoming and birds flying and singing all day long.. At night there's an orchestra from the frogs 🐸 and crickets 🦗, sometimes I think they compete for the loudest singer trophy 🏆 😂😂 This place is so reach in biodiversity that it's painful to believe that it's surrounded by marinas from which a lot of pollution, toxicity is generated. But that wouldn't be enough, so there are fish farms at every corner of each bay along the channel and next to villages and towns (please give thoughts on swimming in this area or any swimming area that's packed with fish farms...even hotels put on signs that you are swimming at your own responsibility...and they don't mean "bodyguardless" beaches) . We humans are really something. Getting back to happy thoughts now... Some flamingos 🦩🦩 were also paying some occasional visits behind the marina when we were at the yard (they are like me, when the temperatures drop they fly back to the south..only I don't have wings to follow..if I had 😂😂) and some cows 🐄 too would take their turn to model by Oshun's spot and grace us with their presence... The land turtles no longer felt intimidated by our presence and stay still expecting to become invisible 😅 now they even walk towards me, if the fence wasn't there they would walk to my lap I guess 😁🥰 Now in the water, we see dolphins 🐬 too messing with the work of the fishermen around the bay (these two will be enemies for infinity and beyond I guess 🤷🏿♀️). Sweet life, it's all around us, let's take care of it. #shorts
