MOTOR MULTIHULLS
The trend which is unfolding is undeniably for more liveable boats which
are less energy-hungry, and capable of taking us to the other side of
the world or offering us a superb day outing... And in this niche, motor
multihulls have a good card to play!
QUEENSLAND 55
NEW
The La Rochelle-based builder presented the flagship of its trawler fleet at the last Cannes Boat Show: the Queensland
55, whose full test you can find in this edition.
With unique experience of motor catamarans over more than ten years, with the Maryland 37, the Greenland 34, and
now the Highland 35 and especially the Cumberland 46, not to mention the Summerland 40, the builder is the undisputed leader in this area.
This experience has been put to good use to create this Queensland
55, which fits perfectly into the builder’s new Flagship Class, and
offers finishing of the same level as the exemplary Galathea. The
saloon is huge, and brings together the lounge area, the dining
room, the galley and the navigation area. The woodwork, the headlinings and the lighting provide a refined and luxurious atmosphere.
Outside, the giant flybridge offers an external galley, a saloon, sunbathing areas and of course, the steering position... This trawler was
designed to absorb the waves gently at a good average speed, to
cover hundreds of miles in a few hours without fatigue,
either for the boat or the crew, thanks to very moderate
fuel consumption.

PROUT SLY 89
PROJECT
Here is a builder which really doesn’t sit back and wait for things to happen... Prout, which now builds its
catamarans in China, is offering enthusiasts a whole range of sailing catamarans and trimarans, as well as
motor catamarans.
In the motor family, there is the G50, a long-term cruising catamaran, ideal for a round-the-world voyage
as a family, with its 5,600 litres of diesel, and the SLY range, with the 62’,67’,73’ 78’ and 89’. The latter, the
real flagship of the fleet, offers modern lines and avant-garde technological solutions. The hull notably has
been the subject of particular care, with its wave-piercing bows, to offer performance, comfort at sea and
above all, reduced consumption.
The flybridge is quite simply huge, offering a pleasant steering position as well as a sunbathing area,
a dining area with a very nice table, and another
area aft, ideal for drinking an aperitif or resting
whilst at sea around the cocktail table. From this
flybridge, you descend directly forward, via wide
side decks to the forward cockpit, equipped
with sunbathing areas and comfortable seats. This will inevitably be the favourite area when
cruising in the sunshine... A top-of-the-range boat, for lovers of beautiful boats!

NOAH 76
ALASKAN 54
PROJECT
NEW
A catamaran with classic
looks; here is the Noah
76, built in aluminium, to
offer comfort and safety
for a long voyage... With
its 3,000-mile range, its
impressive, 260m² liveable area divided between
three levels, the Noah 76
will appeal to a modernday adventurer looking for a boat aboard which to discover the world.
Designed by VPLP, the interior design was looked after by Anne-Monique
Bonadei, who has created a very
‘zen’ atmosphere - serene, pure
and airy - which, along with the
large convivial areas will offer
unique moments as a family or
with friends, and spacious cabins
to protect the passengers’
privacy...
Here is a boat which enters
perfectly into the trawler category... A catamaran which offers a
cruising speed of from 15 to 17
knots, and top speeds of 21/24
knots with the standard 2 x 260hp
engines, with quite reasonable
consumption. The builder has just
launched a 52-footer and a 54, which, as always at Serenity, have specific
a la carte accommodation, according to each owner’s wishes. But this
catamaran’s programme is
blue water cruising, to go
and visit the islands on the
other side of the world. A
must, with this orientation,
especially as the boat is
built in Thailand, a very
beautiful area in which to
begin your cruise!

BAMBA 50
SUNREEF 70 POWER
NEW
Here is a motor catamaran with the advantage of offering, in addition...a rig!
The n°1 has been launched, and according to the builder, the first tests have
been surprising, because with its 20 tonnes and 2 x 150hp engines, the
Bamba 50 planes at 12 knots and reaches a top speed of 16 knots. All that
remains is to validate the tests with the 90m² genoa, to try and reach a
consumption of less than 10 l/h at 10 knots, which would offer a very good
range and above all, a really attractive alternative for a blue water cruising
boat... As for the accommodation, Bamba Yachts is offering real customisation, according to each owner’s tastes.

In 2008, Sunreef made a conspicuous
entry into the motor boat world, with the
Power 70. It must be said that the first
owner of this catamaran in its
‘Expedition’ version is none other than
Laurent Bourgnon, who has already sailed half way round the world, passing
via the Patagonian channels. The following models are more classical, even
though they have all been built according to their owners’ wishes. The Power
70’s programme is
comfortable ocean
cruising, with luxurious accommodation, an exceptional
liveable volume, a
giant flybridge and a
range which will
allow you to go to the
ends of the earth…

LEOPARD 47 PC
JAG 550
They don’t just make sailing catamarans at
Robertson & Caine...
There is also the Léopard
47 PC, a motor boat meeting the same builder’s
requirements in terms of
build quality and liveaboard pleasure. Offered in
a charter version, with
four double cabins and four heads, or an owner’s version, with three cabins,
including one very nice hull reserved for the ‘pasha’, this 47-footer is
capable of taking you ocean cruising quickly and comfortably,
thanks to its sufficiently powerful
engines. A boat which will delight
the Moorings charter customers as
much as possible owners looking
for a versatile motor catamaran.
Dean has always dared to develop its catamarans according to its wishes
and convictions, and not according to fashion. This is again the case with
the Jag, a motor catamaran with an innovative and particularly stylised
design. With its asymmetric hulls and its futuristic look, the Jag 550 offers
accommodation on four deck levels, to offer a new way of living at sea,
notably with the completely closed cockpit or the huge owner’s cabin,
situated over the whole of the aft part of the yacht and with an exceptional
view of the sea. The Jag reaches a maximum speed of 28 knots with
2 x 480 hp engines, but only
consumes 10.8 l/h at 10 knots.

SUMMERLAND 40
FUSION 40 POWER
With the Highland 35 Pilot, the
Cumberland 46, the Queensland
55 and this Summerland 40,
Fountaine Pajot is now presenting a full and homogenous range
of trawlers. The Summerland 40
is very appealing, as it will suit
owners looking for a long term
cruising catamaran, with its 1,000 mile range at 7.5 knots, as well as
those who want above all a boat to spend (dream) holidays or weekends
with friends.
Aboard, everything has
been designed for
enjoyable
cruising,
thanks to areas free
of any obstacles, the
well-sheltered cockpit
and of course, the
superb flybridge...

98 Multihulls world - January/February 2011
Here is a catamaran derived
from the excellent sailing
Fusion 40 which the builder is
now producing in a motor version. The most significant
change from the original sailing Fusion 40 lies in the work
on the hulls and the new flybridge. Well visually balanced
and proportioned, it gives this
Fusion Power refined lines. With its very futuristic coachroof and its new
hulls, it offers good comfort both at sea and at anchor, as well as excellent
performance: at 15
knots (its cruising
speed), it consumes
less than 2 litres per
engine per mile. It is
therefore an excellent compromise for
ocean cruising and
family voyages.

SPIRITED POWER
Based
on
the
excellent Spirited 380, this boat,
designed by Spirited Design, is a motor catamaran which should bring comfort and performance to its owner, with a
reasonable budget for both construction and maintenance. The work on
the hull has allowed a particularly sober cruising catamaran to be obtained,
as the consumption calculated by the architect would be from 1 to 2 litres
per mile. Depending on the engines (2 x 75hp or 2 x
125hp) the cruising speed will settle at between 12 and 14
knots with the smaller engine choice,
and 14 to 16 knots with the larger...
The 400 will be able to reach a top
speed of 22 knots.

DOLPHIN TRAWLER
Faced with the success
of its Dolphin 460 sailing
catamaran, the builder
has developed a range of
motor catamarans, including this Trawler 700.
This cat is a pure custom
boat, with no limits
except those of your
imagination... Enough to
make you think twice,
especially as the company has shown the quality of its production and
above all, some very nice finishing on its various boats. The
accommodation
elements,
manufactured at the yard by a
team of real craftsmen, are
very beautiful. The first Dolphin

AVENTURE POWER 32
The Aventure 32 is a catamaran available in two
versions: ‘Fishing’ and

Both versions offer the
same advantages: a catamaran which is transportable on a trailer, equipped with a cabin with a
double and two single
berths, a really big heads and a nice galley. The saloon can comfortably
accommodate from 8 to 10 people.
Sea trials have shown good potential, with a cruising speed of 23
knots (at 3,600 rpm) and a top speed
