► Full Test in Multihulls World N°183: https://www.multihulls-world.com/essais/catamaran/dufour-48-the-first-catamaran-by-umberto-felci-on-course-for-la-dolce-vita ► The launch in 2018 of this Dufour catamaran intended for charter was understandably thwarted by the takeover of the yard by Fountaine Pajot... One might have thought that this 48 was going to be consigned to history. But no - Dufour Yachts and the Croatian charter company Under the Heavens signed a sale agreement this summer for JJL Catamarans. The multihull designed by Umberto Felci will therefore still be produced while keeping the Dufour brand. A second model was to be presented during the Cannes Yachting Festival 2023 but it was desired... The 48 presented here is doing well since five years after its launch, it is the No. 60 that we invite you to discover in this video ! ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: JJL Catamarans Italy Length: 48’3” (14.70 m) Beam: 26’3” (8 m) Displacement: 32,960 lbs (14.95 t) Mainsail area: 818 sq ft (76 m²) Solent: 517 sq ft (48 m²) Engines: 2 x 50 or 60 HP Fuel: 237 US gal (900 l) Water: 185 US gal (700 l) Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

Part 2 Sea Water Found In Fuel Injectors We were preparing to leave for Koh Lipe on a friend's sailboat but the engine couldn't turn. The owner suspects water in the injectors so opened them up. He was right. Water shot out of the second injector. What do we do next? We found the reason but why was this modification made to this previously tip top healthy Yanmar Engine? Can we revive a seized engine that has sea water sitting inside fuel the injector chamber? #shorts #marineengineer #marineengineering #yanmar #sailorslife #sailboats #yachts

A few years ago we got to spend a wonderful week in Greece sailing around the Mediterranean with Med Sailors. One of our days was a water sports day. Who could so "No" to parasailing in Greece?
