Catamarans are the perfect boats to dry out on a beach, or, as many do in tidal areas (including ourselves), use a half tide drying mooring. If the boat has daggerboards then sensibly the rudders should lift to avoid damage, especially if the tide/wind causes waves when refloating. I have used the method seen in this video for 40 years. Very simple and works easily. Please note that this boat is over 30 years old, and I had never tried to lift the rudders with one hand before! Hence the initial hesitation. They would lift more easily if the shafts were greased. A simple snap hook holds the rudder up. Some people use "dinghy style" lifting rudders but that means the blades stick out behind the boat, which has often led to breakages when in a crowded anchorage and unsuspecting dinghies pass in the night. This rudder system works exactly like a conventional semi-balanced rudder when it in the down position. And has the advantage that the whole rudder can be taken off the boat by simply undoing one bolt. And no shaft leaks either! The thin ropes led through blocks to a cleat on the tiller are connected to the outboard. So the engine turns with the rudders, significantly increasing manouverability! I write more about steering systems on my website, see here https://www.sailingcatamarans.com/index.php/19-faqs/sailing-and-performance-questions/109-which-steering-system-should-i-use

Superyacht Sarissa collected major awards at the recent Boat International Design & Innovation Awards 2024. The superyacht, designed by Malcolm Mckeon Yacht Design, was honored with five awards in total, including the Eco Award and Innovation of the Year. The performance cruising superyacht won the judges over, who were impressed by her clean design and sleek exterior. Sarissa, whose name means long, sharp spear in Greek, is 59.7m and was built by Royal Huisman. The yacht is packed with innovation throughout. Above the deck, Sarissa is equipped with #North3Di sails, a Southern Spars rig, and Future Fibres AeroSix rigging. She is the first superyacht to select Aerosix and is the largest yacht sailing with this new rigging technology. Fun fact - Sarissa's in-boom furling North 3Di mainsail is the largest flat-top mainsail in the world. #superyachtdesign #sailinginnovation #superyacht #northsails #royalhuisman #malcolmmckeon #sailing
