As sailors, we know it doesn't always go to plan and you can end up waiting around for the wind! Luckily it filled in for some afternoon racing on Day 2 at the RS500 Worlds. The class made the most of the ?????? in the morning. #rssailing #sailitliveitloveit #rs500worlds

? Full test in our Multihulls World Special Issue N°22 Forever Green. ? This catamaran is the second in size in the sailing range from Fountaine Pajot after the Isla 40 and is a model now well-established in the cruising catamaran landscape: it has convinced charter companies and owners alike. The 42 is a beautiful cruising machine of reasonable size, is comfortable and technically accessible. Ease of use offshore, maneuverability in congested marinas, and attractive interior and exterior features: these are all assets for the Astrea 42, which adopts the latest generation Fountaine design. This model is now available in a Smart Electric version that you can check out in our video. ?

? The 3D images we'd received had given us a good idea that the Tortue 147 wasn't really going to look like a standard multihull... In the end, we were in for quite a surprise at La Grande-Motte! The catamaran on display, an ode to slow living, boasts a truly unique design and layout, with a nacelle reminiscent of a turtle shell, large stained-glass portholes, a suspended chart table seat, and a cabin layout reminiscent of a small mountain chalet. The same surprising atmosphere reigns at the after end of the boat, where a modest suspended balcony serves as a cockpit. We're obviously impressed by the diamond-shaped windows integrated into the floor of the nacelle, and we are hardly surprised by the presence of a beautiful plant, whose pot was designed during the construction process. The build was undertaken in Tunisia using semi-thick aluminum for optimal impact resistance. The hull has two specific features: a bulbous bow is grafted onto each side to dampen pitching, and the stern is particularly sleek. Here again, the architects' aim was to provide the most stable platform possible, including longitudinally. Two 1,200-liter (317-gallon) ballast tanks are also provided aft. Long keels and rudder skegs allow you to take the ground. The conventional internal combustion engine has been supplemented by an electric propulsion system capable of propelling the Tortue over a distance of 12 nautical miles and providing efficient hydrogeneration when the catamaran is making way under sail. ? TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Cataruga Material: 8 to 10 mm aluminum Length: 48'3" (14.7 m) Beam: 25'9" (7.85 m) Draft: 4'9" (1.45 m) Displacement: 37,500 lbs (17 t) Sail area: 1,076/1,507 sq ft (100/140 m²) Motors: 2 x 57 HP and 2 x 10 kW All-electric range: 2 hours at 6 knots ?
