Best liveaboard catamarans for all budgets.

When choosing the best liveaboard catamaran, there are questions you need to ask yourself such as:

• Are you planning to live aboard full-time or just part-time?
• Will you be traveling extensively or staying in one location?
• Do you plan to fish or engage in other water activities?

If you plan to sail around the world and are not sure what catamaran size is perfect for your goal , you can get some tips from this article.

You may also need to check your budget. Keep in mind that the purchase price is just one aspect of the cost of owning a catamaran. See how much it actually costs to buy and own a catamaran in this article.

You may also need to factor in ongoing maintenance, repairs, and other expenses, such as docking costs. Docking costs depend on the location of the marina and the actual size of your catamaran, but to give you an idea of how much it costs to dock a catamaran , here's an article that can help you.

The best liveaboard catamarans have these most important features :

Living space Look for a catamaran with an open layout, large windows, and plenty of natural light to create a spacious and inviting living area.

Galley and heads Choose a catamaran with a well-designed galley that is easy to use and has plenty of storage space. The heads should be spacious and comfortable, with a separate shower area if possible.

Performance and handling You might want to opt for a catamaran with a good sail plan and sailing controls that are easy to operate. If you plan to do offshore cruising, perhaps consider a catamaran with a shallow draft and good seaworthiness.

Safety and seaworthiness Choose a catamaran with sturdy construction and good safety features, such as handrails and lifelines. You might want to make sure also that the catamaran is designed for single-handed sailing if you plan to sail solo.

Our electric catamaran paving the way for green sailing

Request information.

The first Outremer catamaran with an electric engine

The Outremer 4.zero is the first series cruising electric catamaran. Without fossil fuel on board (diesel or gas), it can be used without any CO2 emissions. Designed for long distance sailing, its ability to produce energy by the engines when the boat is sailing gives it autonomy without limits other than the weather.

This innovative green catamaran created for the preservation of the environment allows the sailor to navigate with favorable winds, thus reconnecting with nature and his boat, whilst maintaining the comfort and safety necessary for a family trip.

An optimized energy balance

With a high-performance electric catamaran, can we manage to balance energy consumption? To answer this question, we have carried out several tests, integrating a solar panel and hydrogenation pair.

New generation battery banks

A large 17,5KWH battery bank, with an energy density never reached before, is installed on the 4.zero to ensure maximum autonomy when sailing across the ocean.

Electric engines

With its two 10KW engines, the Outremer 4.zero electric sailing catamaran has a power equivalent to that offered on the thermal version, with a much higher torque

Do you have any questions?

When will the 4.zero be available, why did you decide to initiate this project with jimmy cornell, how does the outremer 4.zero differ from the 45.

Beyond building your boat, Outremer brings your dreams to life by being by your side at every stage of your project. To always better support you, we have created Outremer Services. This structure, integrated within Grand Large Services is able to meet all your needs, from the start of your project to the resale of your catamaran.

Bali 4.4 Review

We are talking about the sailing boat Bali 4.4 , which replaced two predecessors of the Bali Catamarans shipyard, accompanied by a review of topRik experts with photos and schematics, including excerpts from the review by Emmanuel Van Deth, who was one of the first to test multihull from Catana Group at sea.

• VIDEO REVIEWS OF BALI 4.4

Bali Catamarans is a relatively new name on the European market. The author of the project is Catana Group, a recognized leader in the production of exclusive catamarans. The Bali range itself is a successful attempt to enter the mass production segment.

High-sided, with voluminous deckhouses, all slightly angular, with low masts and a moderate sail area. But despite all this, demand for catamarans is actively increasing, especially in the charter segment and in warm regions. And this is no coincidence: they provide space and comfort, have large holds and voluminous lockers, comfortable sofas, wide berths and spacious showers.

And this fact is well confirmed by the rapidly growing sales figures, which are not lagging behind the largest manufacturers in the mass catamaran segment. Still a recent newcomer to the mass market, Bali is a subsidiary of the leading luxury Catana brand, whose models are mainly intended for individual owners.

The creator of both brands Olivier Poncin developed Bali as a second line and conceptually aimed in the same direction as its other large-scale French colleagues, that is, it created a relatively inexpensive mass-produced boat that would be of interest to both individual customers and the charter market. In the end, the French were able to sell the first 100 hulls in less than two years.

Bali models Catamarans definitely have unique features that make one talk about Bali's already formed DNA. For example, in front there is no longer a soft mesh between the hulls, but a solid deck flooring. This space can be used as a full-fledged second cockpit: for relaxing guests and for sunbathing, for example.

Additional advantages of this solution: if the boat is in the Mediterranean Sea (where they are moored, as usual, stern to the pier), then the bow cockpit will provide the proper level of privacy from neighbors on the pier. Both when anchored and underway, the crew (or part of it) can choose to stay in any of the two cockpits, therefore, the main (aft) cockpit will be more spacious.

The garage-type lift-and-tilt door, which already bears the name of the brand that it personifies, is forever included in the DNA of the line - the Bali door. If you want to completely close the yacht, the crew closes the side sliding windows and lowers the entire rear wall of the cabin, which is called the Bali door, using a pneumatic mechanism. After this, the interior of the yacht is acoustically, thermally and optically isolated from the external environment - just like boats with a traditionally designed interior.

And for some time (since model 4.2 ), a door leading to the foredeck was added to the distinctive features of Bali. In the first smaller models, in its place was a large, fully folding windshield, which is used as a hatch and for ventilation.

Maximum openness in good weather and reliable protection from bad weather are a big plus of this line. From the aft section of the cockpit to the front wall of the wheelhouse there is one continuous, flat surface, which can be viewed in any way: either as an open-air galley, or as a sea terrace with an attached kitchen. In addition, there is also a navigation corner and a huge refrigerator.

However, the structural loss of rigidity due to the absence of the rear wall of the cabin, which on catamarans takes on a considerable part of the lateral loads, mainly due to torsion, must be somehow compensated for, so Bali is designed very elegantly overall. Both inner half-hulls are laminated together with the bridge and rigid foredeck as a single unit in one complex matrix. This uses vacuum infusion, as well as molded or co-laminated local reinforcements, stringers and stiffeners.

Another interesting solution: the false fins are made in the form of separate parts, glued to the hulls after the latter have been manufactured. The calculation is made that in the event of an unsuccessful grounding, the glued keels will come off, while the hulls of the catamaran themselves will remain intact. But, despite this, the catamaran is designed for drying and winter storage on the shore, supported by hull fins. Additionally, we point out that the forepeaks of the catamaran are designed as ram compartments - with sealed bulkheads.

The high-mounted helm station, combined with the desire for headroom, caused the boom to move strongly upward. However, despite this decision, Bali sail much better than it might seem at first glance.

Free space is always an important issue on a cruising yacht. With the Bali range, everything is in order: sofas in the cockpit, 2 meters of height in the saloon, the bow cockpit with a seating area is very comfortable both on the road and in the parking lot. The raised helm station is separate from the wheelhouse and the cockpit, but there is additional seating and a soft bench next to the helm on the cockpit hardtop.

All controls are concentrated near the steering post; all the running ends of the halyards, sheets and guys are brought out here. The visibility from the helmsman's seat is excellent, except that the stern of the starboard hull is poorly visible - which is a typical situation for a similar architecture of a cruising catamaran with a remote helm station on the port side. If necessary, a second helmsman's seat can be installed on the yacht in the main deck saloon (or wheelhouse); it will be equipped with a joystick (instead of a steering wheel), electronic engine control and other equipment and indicators.

The world premiere of Bali 4.4 took place at International Multihull Show 2022, in La Grande Motte, France. It was designed to replace two predecessors at once: Bali 4.3 with a central control post and Bali 4.5 - the very first model in the line. topRik team will try to understand whether this model was successful at that.

Review of bali 4.4 by toprik team.

As already reported, world Bali 4.4 premiered at the International Multihull Show 2022, and topRik experts were able to take a look at it later, at Cannes Yachting Festival.

The size and layout of the Bali captivated us, and the first glance at the price tag made us urgently sign up for testing.

In such a dense “population” of the pier it is difficult to look at such a large yacht from afar. Of course, it’s easier for you, we’ll show you a photo of what we should have seen at the Bali Catamarans stand.

We assure you that even without the ladies in bikini and at a very close distance, Bali 4.4 knows how to impress. First of all – with its harmony. Naval architects were able to develop a boat with a flybridge, which does not look like a three-story cottage that was swept out to sea by a tsunami. We responsibly declare that not all experts share the ironic view of boats with a flybridge, especially if the purpose of the yacht is charters.

All these free spaces on a relatively small (13.5 meters) boat were quite impressive. And the ability to close the huge saloon on all 4 sides is noticeable even from the pier. Also impressive is the side glazing of the hulls and the height of the sides themselves, which promises sufficient headroom in the cabins.

We see that the mast, shifted to the stern, is somewhat shortened, and the boom is at a convenient height, which promises comfortable sail control. All that remains is to get on board and verify our assumptions.

You can board Bali 4.4 catamaran from the platform at the pier - the middle part of it is intended more for transporting an inflatable boat, for which davits are provided, and the side sugarscoops are used for sunbathing, on the lower step of which a sliding ladder can be equipped.

On both sides, the entrance to the cockpit is blocked (or opened) by steel cables. Stainless steel side cleats, a shower, a neck for refilling tanks - everything is familiar, as in many other cats.

With the Bali door closed, the cockpit doesn't make much of an impression - a narrow strip of deck with a large transom sofa. True, there is a large grill on the port side, and a freezer can be hidden in the locker if you choose this optional equipment.

The engines are located in a manner that has become typical for catamarans: in the stern of each of the hulls in engine rooms, well accessible for maintenance, but completely isolated from the internal space to reduce noise and vibration.

And the cockpit makes a completely different impression when the door to the saloon is open - it becomes part of the huge space from the transom to the bow. Why to the bow - you will find out later, but for now make sure that the effect of the raised Bali door changes your opinion of the cockpit as just a narrow strip of deck.

And if you change the view so that you can see all the way to the door leading to the foredeck, you will have an almost complete view of this huge space.

The modular design method allows you to change the interior arrangement: instead of two armchairs with a cabinet (for cigars or wine), you can install a large comfortable sofa between them, as in the dining area opposite. You can freely seat 8 people at the folding table, and if you make room, then the whole ten. The catamaran is designed for 12 passengers, and a maximum of 12 sleeping places can be equipped if you use the forepeaks and lower the table in the saloon, covering it with a mattress.

But how can we feed these dozen, because so far we have only seen a grill in the cockpit... Oh, and there are also huge refrigerators on the starboard side, this already makes our task easier.

Well, if you get to the refrigerators, you'll of course also see that superbly equipped galley that rivals some home kitchens in terms of equipment, including an optional dishwasher.

And this is only part of the galley - as you can see in the photo below, there is also a cabinet with a large work surface and many drawers. But this natural wood finish is an option for those who prefer comfort and elegance.

Opposite the galley, on the starboard side, there is a full-fledged chart table, which can be equipped as a second control station with the installation of all the equipment that is provided at the main control station.

And to make it easier for you to navigate the placement of areas and furniture on the main deck, we suggest checking this schematic, because we are not finished yet. Through that door, to the left of the chart table, we go out onto the bow deck.

Even from the diagram it is clear that this entire area is given over to a recreation area. The entire area from the outer sides of each hull is used here, since the rigid bow deck is one of the Bali’s distinctive features, which attracted the attention of the topRik team.

This is a great solution both for an owner with a large family or a bunch of friends, and for a charter cruise. By the way, the Bali 4.4 has class A in the CE classification, that is, it allows even transatlantic crossings.

Here again we invite you to consider the layout of the cabins. There are two main options: with three and four cabins, as well as with different possibilities for using quite spacious forepeaks. They can be equipped with berths for the crew or additional storage space can be arranged here.

If you are going to use the boat as an owner, we recommend the 3-cabin version. The left float here is completely dedicated to the master cabin; the design developers have achieved maximum comfort for its inhabitants.

Conventionally, the building can be divided into familiar zones: a king-size double bed with a large locker under it is a bedroom, a sofa with a work desk (or dressing table) is a boudoir or an office, and then in the bow there is a bathroom.

The bathroom is worth showing in more detail, since it is not always possible to see an isolated shower cabin of this size on a yacht of this length - the entire width of the hull, even in its narrow part, as well as two washbasins. There is enough space for both a toilet and a floor cabinet. Above the washbasins there are shelves, cabinets and a mirror.

In the other two cabins, the bathrooms are also individual, but the shower room, of course, is not the same size, and the cabins themselves are more modest, still they have everything you need for a comfortable life on board.

This is what the cabin located at the stern looks like: the bed is also double and large with a locker under it, and the number of portholes is the same as in the master cabin bedroom.

The configuration of the cabin at the bow is interesting: from here you can enter the forepeak - an inexhaustible source of ideas for children, and for boring adults - just a place to store luggage. Here, in addition to the porthole, there is also a hatch in the ceiling.

In general, you probably already noticed without us how much natural light and ventilation opportunities there are under the main deck of the Bali 4.4. Bathrooms are also keeping up with this trend, even in guest cabins.

The 4-cabin version is more suitable for a charter business or when purchasing a catamaran for two owners. The layout shows that the left hull with this configuration is a mirror image of the right one, and the photographs of the guest cabins posted above are also illustrations for this 4-cabin option.

Don’t forget also that a place to sleep for two can be arranged in the saloon, and we still have 2 forepeaks left in stock. A total of 12 sleeping places – everything fits together.

Well, it's time for the topRik team to head to the control room and head out to sea for further testing.

The yacht turned out to be much more maneuverable than it seems at first glance. Bali 4.4 can be equipped with an additional headsail: it can be a spinnaker or a code 0, which provides the boat with good speed even in small tailwinds. Thanks to the dense structure of the structure and light weight, the yacht breaks into motion at a wind speed of 4.5-5 knots, at which it makes sense to adjust the sails.

The most comfortable control of winches and sheets, everything is within the skipper’s access with one hand, only the head sail is extended a little further. The helm panel is well equipped, and there is a very comfortable sofa that can accommodate up to 3 people, including, of course, the skipper.

Other observers can take seats on the mezzanine - just above on the flybridge there are excellent sun loungers and sofas. Entrance to the flybridge and helm station is from different sides, which is very convenient.

The mast on the catamaran is located aft, which is why the automatic staysail is larger and works quite efficiently. At the same time, the jib is by no means necessary when making tack turns: as we were able to see, even under one mainsail the Bali 4.4 maneuvers simply excellent - at least on smooth water.

This catamaran delights its helmsman: both due to its very decent speed and pleasant responsiveness of the helm, which is not typical of every double-hulled yacht. It really pleases with its driving performance, judge for yourself: with a wind of up to 15 knots, the Bali 4.4 on a sharp course developed up to 7.5 knots at a tacking angle of 110 degrees. You can go steeper into the wind than 55 degrees (sometimes this is even advisable, so as not to make unnecessary turns), but the speed drops significantly.

In our test, we were able to accelerate the boat to 8.2 knots without using a gennaker or code zero, which are a highly sought-after type of “turbocharging” for catamarans. Both of these sails - if the yacht is equipped with them - can be easily stored either in the forepeaks or in the lockers of the foredeck, where the tanks and anchor gear are located.

Advantages of Bali 4.4

Freedom, space and comfort are the main advantages of Bali 4.4. Moreover, comfort refers both to the arrangement of life for passengers on board the catamaran, and to the organization of the work of the crew. Everything is provided in full: from the absence of sharp corners and cutting surfaces to excellent ergonomics of the control station.

Bali 4.4 allows guests to fully enjoy even a long-term cruise, and the skipper and assistants to get real pleasure from working with sails without unnecessary difficulties.

Cost is last but not least advantage of such a thoughtful design and sufficient comfort for everyone.

Reviews of Bali 4.4 from Professionals

To date, reviews of the Bali 4.4 from professionals are limited only to the results of testing this catamaran by the author of Multihulls World, editor-in-chief of Multicoques Magazine and famous yachtsman Emmanuel Van Deth.

Emmanuel with his team tested Bali 4.4 in La Rochelle in sub-zero temperatures. He complained that they were unable to experience the beauty of the open space because the famous door was down and the windows were closed. But even in these conditions, the freedom of movement on the main deck was impressive, and the large saloon windows created a warm, homely atmosphere. True, to warm this atmosphere, a couple of heaters were still needed.

The crew had to gather their courage to unfurl the sails, since all the ropes had become stiff and cold from the frost.

All sailors commented on the very rigid composite sandwich deck - a carefully thought out deck design.

Next, Emmanuel describes the speed tests of the catamaran, linking the results with wind speed and the peculiarity of the sailing equipment - they have a raised mainsail, and also deployed “Code 0”, which was later changed to the self-tacking solent.

The author devoted the rest of the review to describing the design and equipment of the cockpit, saloon, flybridge, foredeck and cabins.

O-Yachts Class 4

Description

The O-Yachts Class 4 is the smaller sister to the Class 6, designed by Érik Lerouge and built in Latvia under the direction of Dan Levy. The forward profile is classic Lerouge with the bowsprit and curved forward beam in carbon, fine, straight bows, and a shapely nacelle.

Clifford Denn added his input in designing the rounded coachroof to minimise windage and the overall curved look of the saloon;

Lerouge Fast Cat Érik Lerouge studied in Southampton in the seventies, and designed his first catamaran : Inoui, not long after. He has successfully raced his designs in events all over the world including Speed Weeks, Bol d’Or, Trophee des Multicoques, the MULTI 2000 Challenge, Transat des Alizes, and the Sydney Harbour 18 footers Worlds.

The Class 4 is semi-customisable and is available with keels (like the Nautitech 44 Open but faster) or daggerboards (like the Outremer 45 but lighter).

Daggerboards give you optimum performance upwind in light airs (another 5 degrees into wind), fixed keels are safer in the even of a collision under the water, and free up room down below without sacrificing too much performance, especially when the wind picks up. In over 15 kts of wind you won’t notice much difference in performance

Other options include a rotating mast (carbon), fixed carbon or fixed aluminium mast with different sail plans.

Érik Lerouge has done a fine job on the hydrodynamic shaping of the hulls: this is a quick boat. A class 4 was the first placed multihull in the 2014 ARC with a maximum logged speed of 27kts. This boat is about as far away as you can get from a Bali Catspace Sail or other production cruising catamarans. She competes against yachts like the Outremer 45 and is quite a bit lighter (7.5T versus 8.2T)

Construction

This area is worth some discussion, as it is one of the aspects of the Class 4 that differentiates it from the competition.

The nacelle, hulls, deck and coachroof are sandwich infused and laminated by hand, and are solidly assembled. A layer of Kevlar is used to strengthen  the underwater sections. Forward beam, main bulkhead, compression beam and bowsprit are all built in carbon fiber, making a stiff, light structure. Everything up front is hand laminated to optimise strength and rigidity in this area.

With a 7.2T light displacement, the Class 4 is one of the lightest bluewater sailing catamarans on the market:  a real sailing machine, with safety at sea a key part of the philosophy.

Carbon is used as standard on the front beam, bowsprit, mast support, mast beam. They also add a Kevlar shield (center to peak / 8inch over water line).

Carbon Forward beam / Bowsprit Erik LEROUGE insisted on a complete carbon beam connection between the hulls and the central link to the boat. On most catamrans, the forward beam is  a bolted 7 inch tube. On the Class 4, you have 28 Layers of carbon linking to the hull side and another 28 layers of carbon from bow pole to platform along the trampoline center. This helps to give the boat its high rigidity and low weight.

Hand lamination on infused panels All non structural panels also help with the rigity (sofa, stairs, floors, kitchen, cabinets). The panels are first built on an infusion table and are then hand laminated before fairing/sanding to make the Class 4 as solid as a rock.

The key point here is that O-Yachts are unique in this market segment in offering a carbon reinforced structure as standard. Carbon is used for the front and central beams, bowsprit, mast support and beam, and aft beam. As standard, they also use kevlar as a shield on hull.

Living Space

The saloon is very comfortable (4.5m by 3.15m) with plenty of space for cooking, navigating and lounging: the furniture is constructed  in sandwich with aluminum trim and a quality finish. The room inside is somewhere between an Outremer 45 and a 51.

The nav station faces forwards to port and looks very business like.

Semi-Custom There are custom options available for the saloon door (large central or side sliding door), the layout of the saloon and the bimini (long or short).

Down below, both aft cabins have large berths (1.40m/1.60m x 2m).

The other unique design feature to the Class 4 is the aft platform (4.5m x 1.1m). While this does reduce the area of the aft cockpit, it means that you can hoist your dinghy safely onto the boat while under way and it doubles up as a sunbathing area / diving platform while at anchor.

Traditional davits are also an option for the tender.

Carbon Davits Option

A nice touch on the carbon davits is that they have been designed to tuck your tender into so that it is really secure under way

These boats are strong and very rigid and the systems have been set up for easy management by a couple.

An Efficient Design The halyards and reefing lines are tidily managed at the mast with two winches, one being electric. Friction on the lines is minimised: although you will need to leave the cockpit to shorten sail, this set up means that you are able to lock the lines close to the action. This is Form Follows Function design.

There are 2 options for the mainsail, with a bigger Premium version available for owners looking for higher performance. The baot is powered up front with a self tacking-solent and an overlapping genoa that flies off the bowsprit. These should power you along at true wind speeds and even above.

The sail plan is traditional, but there are also plenty of options for flying lighter sails from the bowsprit. A carbon Axon rotating mast option boosts the power with a larger square-topped mainsail and along with fiber shrouds and high quality fittings, the whole package is one of an over engineered design with that trademark of Lerouge designs: low windage and high rigidity

That rotating mast (an option) also makes it easier to reef just off the wind with the solent semi-powered by the way.

In light winds, this boat is designed to sail faster than the wind from 3 to 9kts, so you should be sailing more and motoring less. When the wind is blowing from 10 to 15kts, you will be cruising over 10kts, and in 20-25kts, you will be sailing from 14 to 19kts with shortened sail.

Class 4 Sail Plans

Options include a cruising aluminium mast, a performance fixed carbon mast and a race rotating carbon mast.

Heading aft, the cockpit  feels very safe with it’s wrap around bench. There are options for a full bimini to maximise protection or a shortened version for those who like the maximum view of the sails. There’s a fixed table that seats 8 to port with a large opening window to connect to the galley. The area to starboard has been kept clear (Dan calls this the dancefloor) and the most popular helm position is just a short hop up in the main bulkhead poistion starboard.

Power Options

There are 3 options on the Class 4:

• 100% Diesel : 2 Yanmar 30hp on saildrive.
• Smart Hybrid : 1 Yanmar 30hp on saildrive + 1 electric engine (10 or 15kW).
• 100% Electric: 2 electric engines from 10 to 15kW. With a Diesel 48V generator for safety.

With the diesels, you should hit 7kts cruising on 1 engine in a good sea state.

Electric Power Two Class 4s have already been configured with electric 10kW Ocean Volt engines that push the boat along at 6kts with 6kW in good conditions with one engine. The OceanVolt engines have a “ServoProp” solution for regeneration. The self pitch propeller is also 10 to 15% more efficient when motoring.

There are also options for more advanced solutions such as retractable pods with RIM BlueNav engines that rotate 360°.

The O-Yachts Class 4 is a 45 foot catamaran designed for safety at speed by one of the legends of multihull design: Erik Lerouge, and built under the direction of Dan Levy: a fanatic on the details. With her semi-carbon construction as standard, this is a well organised, strong and rigid catamaran that gives you plenty of bang for your buck. The target on this yacht is 250 safe mile days in good conditions, in the same bracket as a Fusion 40 catamaran or a Schionning but with a more robust construction.

electrique, deux sister ship class 4 sont équipés de moteurs électriques ocean volt 10kw. les résultats sont concluants mais les consommations diffèrent grandement en fonction de la mer. dans de bonnes conditions vous utilisez un seul moteur et consomez 6kw à 6kts. dès que la mer forcie, vous utilisez les deux moteurs et doublez la consomation., la solution oceanvolt avec servoprop optimise la régénération pour charger les batteries sous voile. les hélices avec pâles “self pitching” optimisent aussi la propulsion avec 10 à 15% d’efficacité en plus. , autre solution très avancée avec un pod rétractable et moteur rim sur pod 360°, de chez bluenav., qualité de construction, avec ses 7.2t lège , class 4 est l’un des plus léger au monde dans sa catégorie. le poids est l’élément clé pour réussir un catamaran “marin” qui donnera plaisir et sécurité., sur un o yachts la qualité n’est pas en option, la structure est en carbone , pas de concession. de plus, les coques sont renforcées avec un bouclier kevlar, depuis les dérives jusqu’à l’avant, sur 20cm au dessus de la ligne de flottaison., poutre avant / bowpole 100% carbone, seul lerouge naval architect demande la réalisation de la poutre avant et de la connexion poutre avant / nacelle en 100% carbone. stratification complète sur les quatre bordés (extérieur babord / intérieur babord / intérieur tribord /extérieur tribord). ce sont 28 couches de carbone à stratifier à la main (des dizaines d’heures). a comparer avec 99% des catamarans qui utilisent un tube aluminum ou carbone simplement vissé à la coque intérieur. nul besoin de martingale pour rigidifier la liaison coque avant. votre class 4 est solide comme un roc , stratification manuelle sur panneaux infusés, tous les panneaux (cloisons, planchers, sofa, cuisine, escalier, meubles, rangements,…) sont réalisés en infusion sous vide, puis stratifiés à la main entre eux à la structure. ce sont des centaines d’heures de travail supplémentaires pour que votre class 4 soit un coffre fort., livraison coque nue, vous pouvez finaliser, vous même, une coque livrée à différent stade de finition., spécifications, “amazing latvian”, lisez l’essai en mer réalisé par multicoque magazine…, vos questions / nos réponses, un catamaran léger c’est un catamaran marin. sans parler de performances, un catamaran léger donnera du plaisir. le plaisir de naviguer à la voile à 7kts dès 5kts de vent réel alors que les autres sont au moteur. le plaisir d’aller vite (et surtout sans efforts) dès que la brise monte pour rejoindre sa destination et profiter des meilleurs places au mouillage. aller vite pour se dégager du mauvais temps (gage de sécurité). sans parler de l’équilibre sous voile pour plus de confort en mer formée., la légèreté est le graal des catamarans pour aller vers un cercle vertueux : moins de poids / moins d’efforts  –  moins d’efforts / moins de renforts – moins de renforts / plus de légèreté…  ceci a un prix ce sont des centaines d’heures supplémentaires pour chasser le poids, réaliser l’ensemble de votre class 4 en panneaux infusés puis les stratifier à la main (pas de collage facile et rapide avec des panneaux non structurels). pas de vaigrage rapporté pour cacher la misère   ces vaigrages qui rajoutent un poids non négligeable et où les cafards des tropiques adorent faire leur nids. ce sont donc encore des centaines d’heures à enduire et poncer plusieurs fois pour une finition gelcoat ou un placage de 0,8mm de bois naturel. pour la structure, il faut utiliser des mousses de qualité et réduire un minimum les ajouts de résines cette mousse. ce sont encore des heures de travail pour ne pas utiliser des mousses quadrillées buveuses de résine. l’utilisation du carbone pour la structure devient une obligation et non une option., poutre avant carbone, bowpole carbone, liaison poutre avant / nacelle carbones, pied de mât carbone, cloison transversale de mât carbone, cloison transversale arrière carbone, plus un catamaran est léger et moins il nécessite de puissance pour avancer vite. la structure est moins sollicitée. comme expliqué plus avant, les aménagements non structurels sont réalisés en panneaux infusés sous vide, puis stratifiés à la main à la structure. ces éléments non structurels le deviennent mais ce ci demande des centaines d’heures de travail supplémentaires. , c’est la question classique pour nous, c’est à vous de choisir en fonction de votre programme car nous proposons les deux solutions. afin de vous aider dans le choix, voici un petit comparatif avec les avantages de l’un qui sont donc les inconvénients de l’autre., dérives (chez o yachts elles sont 100% carbone), + meilleur cap au près de 5° entre 3 et 10kts de vitesse. + meilleur vitesse mais à 0,0x près, quilles (chez o yachts elle sont naca), + echouage possible sans risque + protection du sail drive moteur en cas de choc. + 250kg de charge supplémentaire (cf poussée d’archimède) + pas d’appendice mobile source de tracas potentiel, conclusion   : si vous voulez gagner une course les dérives sont une obligation pour assurer le podium.  si vous faites de la croisière ou de la course locale, les dérives sont un gage de tranquillité. dès 10kts de vitesse la différence de 5° d’angle en remontée au vent diminue voir disparaitre (13kts) car les quilles deviennent dès lors redoutables d’efficacité. , deux catamarans class 4 sister ship ont été livrés avec des propulsions électriques. le poids léger de class 4 en fait le candidat idéal. il faut toutefois savoir que ces systèmes sont plus complexes et n’offrent pas la légitimité de millions de bateaux navigant au diesel. les résultats obtenus sur ces catamarans, et les dernières avancées technologiques, confirment la pertinence d’une motorisation électrique. le choix electrique en smart hybride ou full electrique est réalisable sur nos class 4, dès lors que vous ajoutez une génératrice diesel dc 48v pour des raisons de sécurité. nous pouvons, sur demande, vous communiquer les résultats avec 2 x 10kw. , vous payer votre catamaran en fonction de l’avancement réel avec transfert de propriété avec chaque appel de fond.  si vous devez faire appel à du financement, nous travaillons avec plusieurs organismes qui sauront vous faire une simulation en fonction du budget, de votre apport initial et la durée de l’emprunt., nous avons toujours une coque en construction au chantier. il faut entre 9 mois et un an pour finaliser votre projet. , s’il est vrai que nos clients sont souvent des navigateurs expérimentés, nous avons aussi des propriétaires qui découvrent la voile avec class 4. , il est plus facile de se laisser séduire par un catamaran privilégiant le confort au mouillage ou marina, orienté vers le marché charter. class 4 est, lui, un compromis entre le confort bien légitime et l’obligation pour un propriétaire sans skipper de devoir naviguer par tout temps et sur de longues distances. les qualités marines et la sécurité en mer deviennent, dès lors, un impératif vertueux, terrain de prédilection du class 4., il est clair que plus vous naviguez, plus vous devenez exigeant sur la qualité de fabrication et les qualité marines. dès lors, le choix d’une unité class 4 devient évident. que vous soyez novice ou chevronné, nous seront toujours à votre écoute et nous prendrons le temps de définir les spécifications de votre class 4, avec soin. , nous travaillons en collaboration avec plusieurs partenaires capables de vous offrir de nombreux services une fois le class 4 livré. des places de port sont toujours disponibles en france sur plusieurs zones ainsi qu’à l’étranger (principalement italie et grèce)., en premier lieu il faut faire une configuration sur internet afin que nous puissions comprendre votre profil. puis nous pouvons organiser un essai en mer selon les disponibilités ou vous proposer la location aux antilles d’un class 4 orienté confort (clim etc..),
