Can a yacht look straight out of the 1930s and still sail like a modern performance cruiser? SPIRIT YACHTS Spirit 63DH © SPIRIT YACHTS Length: 63 ft (19.2 m) Beam: 13.8 ft (4.2 m) Draft: 9.2 ft (2.8 m) Displacement: 19.2 tons Top Speed (under sail): 10+ knots Price: approx. US\$ 2.9 Million With its sweeping mahogany curves and long overhangs, the Spirit 63DH (Deckhouse) captures vintage yacht aesthetics but hides modern sailing muscle underneath. Built entirely in wood using epoxy composite methods, it's lightweight and extremely rigid—ready for offshore passages or fast weekend races. The raised deckhouse design creates a bright saloon with panoramic views, while the layout includes a full-beam owner's suite aft, two guest cabins, and a central galley. Every inch is crafted by hand, from the varnished joinery to the teak decking. Behind its throwback charm is a yacht made for serious sailing, combining timeless design with real bluewater capability. #SpiritYachts #ClassicYachtStyle #BluewaterSailing #HarbourMasters

► Full report in Multihulls World N°201: https://www.multihulls-world.com/articles-catamaran-trimaran/cmc-race-and-rally-2025-the-fun-rendezvous-for-multihulls ► For its sixth edition, the CMC hasn’t set the record the number of participants, with 23 multihulls registered. On the other hand, the atmosphere both on and off the water has never been better. The trade winds, in fine form at between 20 and 25 knots, undoubtedly had something to do with it... The five entrants in CSA 1 enjoyed superb courses towards Saba, Saint-Barts and Anguilla. The HH66 Lee Overlay Partners (ex Nemo) put on a great show, impressively flying a hull and, above all, peak speeds pushing 30 knots. The Gunboat 72 Layla was not to be outdone, with her GPS recording a top speed of 24.5 knots. The La Grande-Motte shipyard's first flybridge catamaran won the overall race on corrected time. The Diam 24 fleet was of course severely tested by the choppy conditions, but there too, they put on quite a show. In this fury of spray and exciting runs, the crew of Anomaly came out on top, leaving their rivals with no chance of a rematch. For the past two years, the CMC has been running a second division called Rally. This year, the 9 participants were accompanied - and looked after - by our Marketing Director Gwen Dorning. The fleet headed to Phillipsburg, where beach games were organized on the first day, followed by a fireworks display in the bay, then headed for Anse Marcel and finally Saint-Barts - a dream program which is already scheduled for next year, with dates running from January 29 to February 1. ► 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 600 multihulls tests!
