The stunning new Prestige 680 was officially launched recently at the prestige Luxury Motor Yacht dealers' conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The exclusive public premiere will be held at the Cannes Yachting Festival in France in September 2015. Coming to complete the Prestige range of luxury yachts, the new Prestige 680 incorporates all the key features that have made the Prestige range a success, whilst adding to those the marks of excellence of the Prestige 750. The Prestige 680 combines a unique interior layout that brings light, space and cosiness and is easy to move around. With lines that are still daring and timeless, and top quality finish and materials, the Prestige 680 maintains the historic technical attributes of the range and benefits from the latest innovations. A prestigious mixture that promises a successful launch for this new model.
Power catamarans have twin engines. That makes them much safer than a conventional single engined powerboat. It also makes them very manouverable. Here I am turning our Skoota 28 in circles without using the steering wheel. You can see the engines are in line, turning is achieved by putting one engine in reverse, the other in forward gear I'm not very good at it yet! In part because the engine thrust in forward is much greater than in reverse, (because the exhaust goes through the propeller), so the throttle in forward needs a delicate touch You can build your own Skoota 28 in plywood from plans by Woods Designs, see more at www.sailingcatamarans.com
