Step aboard two brand-new W-72 Power Luxury Catamarans from Granocean and see how a single 72-foot platform can be transformed into two entirely different yachts. In this exclusive side-by-side yacht comparison, we explore Hull #03 – designed for maximum entertaining and a fully crewed lifestyle and Hull #05 built for family adventures with thoughtful, kid-friendly layouts. From the cockpit to the saloon, from foredeck layouts to galley configurations, every space has been tailored to its owner’s unique vision. For more information check out our website: https://catamaranguru.com/yacht-sales/new-yachts/granocean-w72/ We're ready to help you get on the water! Aft Platform & Cockpit: Hull #05’s tender lift system doubles as a “beach platform” for easy water access. Hull #03’s fixed platform adds “massive sun pads” and extra lounge space for hosting big gatherings. Saloon & Galley Setup: Hull #05’s galley up offers panoramic views and a large prep space perfect for cooking as a family. Hull #03’s galley down is designed for professional crew use, keeping guest spaces dedicated to relaxation. Foredeck Designs: Hull #05: Expansive sunpads & seating for casual lounging. Hull #03: Centerline jacuzzi surrounded by coffee tables for luxury entertaining. Both W-72s share the same performance DNA – smooth ride, spacious decks, and Vripack’s world-class design – but their personalities couldn’t be more different.

Following an epic race across the Atlantic, Roland Jourdain, racing an Outremer 5X, beat off his rivals to cross first the 12th edition of the Route du Rhum – Destination Guadeloupe in the Rhum Multi Class. This is the third time that he has crossed the finish first in the legendary race following victories in 2006 and 2010. Bilou, onboard ‘We Explore’, crossed the finish line in Pointe-à-Pitre on Friday 25th November 2022 at 15:06 (local time) having completed the race from Saint-Malo to Pointe-à-Pitre in 16 days, 5 hours, and 51 minutes after sailing 4,163 nautical miles at an average speed of 10.68 knots. Upon arrival and inspections, Roland Jourdain was given a statutory time penalty of 90 minutes for a broken lead seal on his boat and so therefore falls to second place behind Loïc Escoffier (Lodigroup) who crossed just over 43 minutes after the Outremer 5X. “Loic also got a penalty a few days ago and so it would not have felt right for me to win with a broken seal. It takes nothing away and I am delighted with my race. I was not trying to win and could not have dreamt for a better race. I am pleased for Loic; he deserves with victory.” adds a happy Jourdain.

La giornata inizia tra gli sbadigli, perché alle 4:00 si è alzato il vento e la barca ha iniziato a ballare il valzer con le onde. 💃 Così alle 8 suona la sveglia e noi ci alziamo a fatica. Un caffè caldo e via al pc. Un tuffo sarebbe stato un toccasana ma per qualche ragione non l’ho fatto. Giornata di fuoco, tra mail, operatività e call. In più si somma il meteo che annuncia la sua instabilità di fine estate in piena regola. Lunedì è previsto l’arrivo di un forte vento da sud e noi al momento siamo scoperti proprio a sud, con una traversata ionica e una adriatica da fare. Quindi siamo in fase di studio. Partire sabato e correre fino a Brindisi? Attraversare lo Ionio e fermarci a Gallipoli fino alla fine di questa instabilità? Aspettare qui? Insomma, c’è fermento. Di certo non ci mancava l’instabilità meteorologica. Il fresco sotto sotto si, dai. Piumone e tisana calda. Chi se li ricorda più? Prosegue il ritorno verso casa ♥️
