► You frequently see sailors on social media criticizing all the new boats they consider unsuitable for open seas in winds of over 50 knots... For us at Multihulls World, this kind of criticism makes no more sense than pointing out that an RV isn’t the thing for the twists and turns of a snow-covered mountain road... The success of pontoon boats, despite not being the most seaworthy of craft, but great at anchor, shows that many boaters don’t necessarily want to set off on a round-the-world trip, and prefer the comfort of a platform on the water over its performance. With this in mind, we’d like to present the Smart Cat S280, a catamaran we saw alongside the HopYacht 30 at the Miami International Boat Show. This compact unit is based on the open cockpit/nacelle principle popularized on Edel Cat, Corneel 26 and Kat 28 from the 1980s - but also on the small Aventura from the 2000s. The galley is located in the starboard passageway. There are 3 berths and one bathroom, or 2 berths and 2 bathrooms. As the disclaimer preceding this presentation suggests, the S280 has no pretensions to performance under sail: it is relatively heavy, moderately canvassed and its hulls are reasonably beamy at the waterline. But this little catamaran has the advantage of being dismountable to fit into two 40-foot shipping containers. The S280 can be fitted with a variety of engines (inboard, outboard or electric), and can even do without a rig. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: S Com Tech - South Korea Length: 28’ (8.50 m) Beam: 17’5” (5.29 m) Draft: 2’10” (0.89 m) Displacement: 10,000 lbs (4.5 t) Mainsail: 417 sq ft (38.8 m²) Genoa: 344 sq ft (32.2 m²) Engines: 2 x 10 or 2 x 25 HP outboards or 2 x 21 HP inboards Fuel: 27 US gal (102 l) Water: 36 US gal (135 l) ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
