What the model is suitable for
conditionally suitable for blue-water sailing and long-distance cruising
New, light catamaran with a large sail area, built only since 2025, with balsa core in hull and deck. Only specialist press tests and a dealer delivery across the Bay of Biscay are documented; owner reports on long-distance cruising do not yet exist. The first series shows equipment shortcomings that count on passage.
