Cruising sailors tend to prefer things like swimming from their boat; Racing sailors prefer the water on top of their boat instead; They will spend as much money on sails as their boat is worth; They will sail so close together you could jump to the next boat; They will remove their dodger so they can fully enjoy all that water on top of their boat; They will crawl onto a pitching foredeck to lash down a sail because they don’t have a furler; They will climb onto the boom to install a reef line so they don’t have to slow the boat down; They will fly a spinnaker in 20 knots of wind or more; They won’t even bother taking down their own spinnaker, and will just let God do it; And they will do all of this whether it’s day or night, regardless of whether they can see or not; All for getting their boat’s name engraved on some stupid trophy, and getting some yellow flags to boast about their accomplishments, and for some unforgettable moments with friends - priceless!!!

The NEW C-Cat 65 is one of the Stars of the Show at Cannes this year. The builder, 🇮🇹 Comar Yachts have over fifty years of boatbuilding heritage and thousands of yachts built, many of which have distinguished themselves on racing circuits worldwide. ▫️ The world class team behind this luxury performance catamaran includes Enrico Contreas, known for his high-performance multihull designs; Marco Amadio and his design studio; Naval Design for structural calculations, FEM verifications, and CFD simulations; and, of course Comar Yachts’ technical office.  ▫️ Carbon: Where It Matters Most ▫️ A full carbon deck reduces weight aloft and lowers the center of gravity. ▫️ Carbon daggerboards: ultra-light and strong, delivering superior upwind performance. ▫️ Carbon Crossbeam, bowsprit, bulkheads, and structural parts to ensure torsional rigidity and precise handling in the most demanding sailing conditions. ▫️ A pre-preg carbon mast built in house for lightness, strength, and control. ▫️ The hulls are built from a carbon-glass composite, offering a balance of stiffness, lightweight performance, and durability under stress. ▫️ The C▫️-Cat 65 is built using a double-cut Corecell sandwich infused with epoxy resin through a vacuum infusion processes for a market leading weight-to-stiffness ratio, minimized material waste, and structural consistency. ▫️ The bulkheads, longitudinal beam, and structural elements are both bonded and tabbed; even the furniture contributes to overall rigidity, ensuring long-term durability and strength. ▫️ The reverse rake carbon coachroof with inverted windows offers excellent visibility with reduced solar glare and they keep solar heat out of the interiors ▫️ #multihulls #boatshow #catamaran @c-catamarans3865
