► Full test in Multihulls World N197: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/catamaran/gp70-and-then-cruising-became-fantastic ► This racy catamaran designed for fast blue water cruising was initially intended for series production by a well-known shipyard at La Grande-Motte, but ultimately, the project has been taken on by Trimarine, based on the Tagus River near Lisbon, Portugal. The GP70, built with 80% epoxy carbon sandwich, manages to limit its displacement to 17.5 t. This large multihull was designed to offer a very high level of self-sufficiency thanks to low consumption of onboard equipment, a large surface area of solar panels (3 kWp), an efficient watermaker and two imposing 264 US-gallon (1,000 liter) fuel tanks. Under sail, the GP 70 promises exceptional performance and the bridgedeck clearance guarantees excellent seakeeping behavior in big seas. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Trimarine Naval Architect: VPLP Overall length: 68’11” (21 m) Beam: 32’ (9.75 m) Draft: 5’3” (1.6 m) Air draft: 90’ (27.45 m) Light displacement: 38,580 lbs (17.5 t) Upwind sail area: 2,380 sq ft (221 m²) Engines: 2 x 80 kW Yanmar JH4 Fuel: 2 x 264 US gal (2 x 1 000 l) Water: 290 US gal (1,100 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!

With single-handed sailing looking more popular than ever this summer, we thought we take the opportunity to shout about the spritely single-handers that we have in the RS Range; from your first adventures as a junior RS Tera sailor, gliding downwind in an RS Aero or to full ‘beast mode’ flat wiring an RS700 – there’s genuinely something for everyone. But which one is the best for you? We’ve listed these with ability in mind – fun guaranteed to be had in all; RS Tera – Fantastic junior boat, 2 different sized rigs, fast and fun way to get into sailing RS Zest – Great leisure all rounder, single-handed bliss, with the ability to add a jib and crew (if you want them) RS Neo – Intermediate sailors dream, carbon rig with all the gadgets and a durable rotomolded hull RS Aero – Beautifully simple, lightweight, modern, carbon rig, 3 rig sizes, thriving class association RS100 – Sleek lines, exhilarating hiking single-hander with gennaker. Great Class RS700 – Weapon of a skiff, trapeze, kite, epic racing and an awesome Class! Not for the faint-hearted Joking aside, the RS700 really isn’t for the faint-hearted! Take a look at the boats in more detail on our website. If you’re still unsure which one of these beauties fits your sailing dreams, get in touch with the team, they LOVE talking about boats.
