After a long winter spent preparing for the 2019 52 SUPER SERIES season, the opening event in Mahón, Menorca will provide the first indication as to this season’s pecking order. Unlike the flood of new boats that were launched for 2018, this season sees a variety of tweaks and changes across the fleet as teams strive towards gaining an edge in an already highly refined and ultra competitive fleet. Among the changes, several teams with Botin designed boats have replaced their keel bulbs in a bid to improve performance. But teams themselves have also changed, most notably that of last year’s decisive champions Quantum Racing who have a number of key personnel changes. And then there is Vladimir Liubomirov’s Bronenosec Gazprom team, back after sitting out the 2018 circuit but now back with a brand new boat stacked with talent. So be it team changes, boat tweaks or new builds, there are plenty of new variables thrown into the mix for the start of the 5 event 2019 season. Racing started on 21st May. Please visit the links below to find out more.

Before the Wind Sailing to Amsterdam. S/V Thundercat is a 1980 Catalac 9M catamaran for sale by owner located in the Netherlands. Easy to handle, stable and safe enough for families, this cruising catamaran is fantastic for coastal sailing, and its shallow draft means it can go where most sailboats cannot venture. The Catalac 9M is not only fun to sail, they are probably the safest cruising catamarans afloat. Catalacs, with over 600 boats built, have never had a catamaran capsize. Designed to sail the North Sea, Catalac catamarans feature extra thick fiberglass hulls that were built to last. With sleeping accommodation for up to 7 in four separate areas, the boat features an extraordinary amount of living space, a massive cockpit and seemingly endless storage. The galley, with 2m headroom, is well-equipped, light and airy. Twin fuel-efficient Yanmar 18hp engines make this 9m catamaran easy to manoever when docking — and with a modest 4.2m beam the boat will fit into a monohull moorage. Sails and rigging are in good shape. New antifouling in the spring of 2022. “Thundercat” is clean, well-maintained, and ready to sail. If you are looking for an exceedingly affordable catamaran with simple systems that is fun to sail, with an exceptional interior layout and a massive cockpit then look no further. https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/catalac-9m-17/
