Multihulls under 40 feet allow you to envisage some nice cruises – even offshore – or to take advantage of the slightest gust to go and challenge the other boats on the water. Catamarans and trimarans which

are easy to sail, and reasonable from both a sailing and maintenance point of view.

ASTUS 16.5CORSAIR 760

TRICAT 30 EASY TO FLY

Here is the latest boat fromAstus Boats. This brand newtrimaran was designed by theVPLP design office. This is thefirst time the builder has wor-ked with the famous architects,well-known for their racing andcruising multihulls. The Astus 16.5 is built to thesame standards as the othertrimarans in the range, withnotably floats on telescopictubes to avoid dismantling

when storing, and a daggerboard for ease of use. The Astus 16.5 is available in a choice of ‘Leisure’ or ‘Sport’ versions (built using infusion), and can be equippedwith a small motor for lovers of coastal ‘raids’.

With this brand-new trimaran, Corsair is presenting a boatwhich will have the heavy burden of taking up the torch fromthe 700 or so 24-foot Corsairs the builder has already produced!The new Corsair 760 can be folded and transported, andoffers much more comfort than its predecessors, with a smallcabin offering a perfect little shelter for coastal camping. Butthe trimaran shows its true colors under sail: boosted by ascreecher on its bowsprit, runs at over 20 knots become thenorm and fun aboard is guaranteed...

An important new boat, ashere Tricat is offering a genuine comfortable cruising tri-maran, with 1.9m headroom, a real galley, an indepen-dent heads and two double cabins.The Tricat 30 can be folded (with the 25’ s tried and testedsystem), and is built using infusion under vacuum, withcarbon reinforcements.

EXUBERANCE 35

The Challenge 30 has been bringing happiness to families who like tocruise fast and enjoy good comfort for a long time now . This folding,transportable trimaran has had a facelift, with the new version, calledthe 30.2. Lengthened, equipped with a bigger mast and new invertedbows on the floats, this Challenge 30.2 is above all now being builtusing infusion. A trimaran capable of cruising speeds well over 10knots, for some good sailing.

The 39 is a catamaran which of fers an impressive feeling of space and volume.The work carried out by moving the rig aft has allowed the forward end to befreed of the mast support strut, giving a totally uninterrupted view forward. Butthat’s not all: By re-centering the rig, and thanks to the new sail plan, pitching hasbeen limited, and the self-tacking jib greatly simplifies the handling. A real plus for a family crew, making this 39-footer a successful travelling companion.

LEOPARD 40 NAUTITECH OPEN 40

With the 40-footer, the Bali range is now particularly consistent.Just like its big sisters, the 4.5 and 4.3 (whilst awaiting the 5.2and 5.8), the Bali 4.0 offers an open space between the cockpitand the saloon. A glazed door which folds away on electricrams allows the boat to go from the Cozy mode (closed) to theLounge mode (open to the anchorage)... Once again on the4.0 we find the forward cockpit – there is no trampoline on theBalis – and the very nice glazed doors which disappear totallyto offer optimum ventilation.

With the Open 40, Nautitech has succeeded in a masterstroke:offering a boat which is easy to sail shorthanded, whilst remai-ning elegant, lively and structurally rigorous. In short, a success! The nacelle’s accommodation concept, combining the ergono-mic qualities of an original deck saloon with those of a comforta-ble interior, is a success and will delight long-term cruisers,whatever the weather conditions. Finally, the Open 40 is a boatcapable of good averages under sail, even when loaded for along-term voyage.

Presented to the public for the first time at the last ParisBoat Show, the Lucia 40 is an excellent catamaran, whoseliveable volume and tasteful accommodation explain its suc-cess. But it’s under sail that the Lucia is surprising: itsease of handling and its performance make it an ideal boatfor an Atlantic circuit as a family, and there is nothing tostop you envisaging cruising as far as the confines of thelagoons on the other side of the world.
