► Full test in our Special Issue 20 Forever Green 2: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/hopyacht-30-for-making-short-hops-under-sailand-electric-power ► Nominated for the MOTY 2023 in the Forever Green category, the HopYacht 30 is offering a new and refreshing approach in the somewhat traditional world of boating... this catamaran designed by Du Toit Yacht Design makes no pretentions in terms of performance, focusing instead on ease of handling and practicality in general. Indeed, the HopYacht 30 features a single furling genoa supported by a mast logically stepped very far aft. The designers have limited the beam to 11 feet 3 inches (3.44 m) in order to limit the cost of a marina slip. The HopYacht can be disassembled and its two hulls each fit into a standard shipping container. This catamaran will therefore be crossing the oceans as deck cargo - it is approved in CE Category C (Beaufort Force 6 and maximum wave heights of 2 meters or 6½ feet). In addition to its genoa, the HopYacht is powered by two 6 kW E-Propulsion pods, equivalent to 9.9 HP regular motors, but without pollution or noise of course. With the adoption of an induction cooker and an electric water heater, no fossil fuels will be consumed on board. The interior, not dissimilar to what you’d find in the riverboat sector, is surprisingly comfortable for a unit of this size. The manufacturer is also offering an interesting model of shared ownership for 6 people (or 3 couples). ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: HopYacht Architect: Du Toit Yacht Design Length: 30’8” (9.35 m) Beam: 11’3” (3.44 m) Draft: 2’4” (0.7 m) Air draft: 39’4” (12 m) Sail area: 318 sq ft (29.5 m²) ► 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!

On the last day of the year, we wan't to wish everyone a happy new year! We've spent most of our Christmas in Norway trying to catch up from our jetlag, get through our colds and get up in time for each days family celebration. Sooo Cody got most of his points on this morning, serving me (Therese) breakfast in bed during my "worst" morning of colds.;) Hope everyone gets this lucky at least once during 2020! We're editing and creating content, but the next video will be a little late, sooo enjoy the previous ones and we'll be back, well and ready for a new year aboard Vinyasa! Happy new year!! We'll spend the first few weeks apart as Cody heads back to our sailboat and I stay in Norway waiting to meet up with them both on a new sailing adventure- coming up soon! Until then- stay tuned...
