WELCOME TO THE ONE AND ONLY COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM IN THE CATAMARAN WORLD

Have you considered a center/ forward cockpit? Putting the skipper right there near the mast, reducing the complexity of sail handling, increasing safety as the crew can handle the lines without having to leave the center of the boat. A lot of added benefits to visibility, safety, reduced complexity of line handing, closers to the anchor, and safer in bad weather.

The Excess 11 is particularly suitable for electric propulsion. In my calculations I started from 2x Oceanvolt sail drive 10 Using Deep bleu battery 360V. 40.0 KWh 278 kg If we compare the weight of 2 Diesel engines with 2x 100 l fuel v.s. above electrical drive, then we get a weight saving of about 375 kg. The range of this electrical combination will approximately 60 NM. Would like to hear your response.

I’ve often wondered why catamarans aren’t built incorporating a rainwater catchment system?

Lead times are too long (and expensive) to order a new boat (especially since the abolition of the VAT advantage with a leasing/LOA scheme) and finding a second hand boat is a headache (with inevitable risks associated with the age and condition of a boat).... not to mention the uncertainty of any resale. So why not offer a long-term charter formula for new boats coming out of the yard?
