Tour The Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 58 Catamaran

We had a chance to tour the Ipanema 58 at the Strictly Sail Miami Boat Show in February. It is a very nice and luxurious catamaran and the flagship of the Fountaine Pajot catamaran range. 

The Ipanema 58 is a boat designed to enjoy sailing and the lifestyle in great comfort and style. The exterior entertainment areas are spacious and comfortable including a 225 ft² cockpit, a forward deck for sunbathing, and a plush flybridge with two entrances.

Interior living spaces are luxurious and available in two options with a galley up or down. Spacious and bright cabins with very modern styling. The Maestro version offers 5 cabins with an owner’s suite or 6 spacious and identical cabins. The Lounge version, offers 4 cabins with a spacious owner’s suite. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Why Does Bridgedeck Clearance Matter In A Catamaran?

Bridgedeck clearance on a catamaran invites a wide difference of opinion among sailors. But what we all agree on is that good clearance is very important for the seaworthiness and comfort of a catamaran. See what Stephen has to say in the video at right. 

Avoiding slamming or pounding of waves against the underside of the bridgedeck, can make all the difference for the comfort of the crew and safety of the vessel. The slamming phenomenon can both be nerve wracking for the crew and damaging to the boat.

As a rule of thumb, we believe that clearance of between 5 and 6% of the LOA of the catamaran is good. 

According to Sackville Currie, bridgedeck clearance (the height of the bridgedeck above the water) is crucial. Read his article that explains why the bridgedeck clearance is so important.

Sea Voyager 223 Concept Catamaran

The concept superyacht, Sea Voyager 223, is the continuity of Sea Voyager's adventure into its concept of "Born to Be a Wave" embodying the marriage of sailors, the sea, and the ship. The SV223 continues the evolution of concept, contributing to the industry trend to build the “ultimate boat size”. The designers and engineers utilized a new approach to the use of technology, with a desire to create a very large catamaran able of navigate under sail with performance of 18/20nds with the necessary comfort.

The 2-deck SV223 is a daring and immense concept that embraces the pleasure of living in sea, without fear or worry, setting a home for a free spirit with room for plenty of guests.

Lagoon Seventy7 Catamaran Walk-Through & Sea-Trial Video

Lagoon Catamarans graciously invited our team and our clients for a private viewing of the Lagoon Seventy7 in Miami this week. The Seventy7 is everything and more that one would expect on a mega yacht. My video may not do it complete justice, so do take a moment at the Strictly Sail Miami Boat Show to view this magnificent yacht! (By appointment only).

In designing the Lagoon Seventy7, Lagoon managed to assemble a great team for its flagship: VPLP, Patrick Le Quément and Nauta Design. Together they have produced a luxuriously elegant and innovative sailing catamaran.

The main deck is on one level and flows from the aft cockpit, through the salon onto the forward cockpit and trampolines. The fly-bridge is huge with twin steering stations and entertainment areas, including wet bar, grill and fridges and they have a Jacuzzi as an option. The owner suite with opening balcony on the side hull is a very neat feature and is sure to draw attention! Engine upgrades, different sail plans and furniture are but a few of the specifications that are available to change to the owner’s specifications. They also offer various layout options, customized to owner’s specifications. 

See the Lagoon Seventy7 specifications & layouts and also check out our Large Catamarans section.

Need A Rigid Hardtop Bimini For Your Catamaran?

Dedicated Marine, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale can custom-make a rigid hardtop Bimini for you! A life-long sailor with solid credentials in boat-building and repair, Chris Spencer recognized a gap in the marine industry for hardtop biminis. Most production catamarans do not come with a hardtop bimini and is a very expensive option. Chris figured out how to fit good quality biminis aftermarket at a reasonable price. He set about to developing a line of hardtop biminis for several catamaran brands and models and is now the premier bimini go-to guy.

The recent offering from Chris for the Lagoon Flybridge Catamarans not only provides necessary weather protection but also safe access to the high boom. The biminis make it easy to add functional options such as the increasingly popular solar panels and bimini enclosures. Dedicated Marine's aftermarket products are in-line with the high quality of the boats and is designed to enhance the already well-appointed catamarans. Clients globally head to Dedicated Marine to complete their catamarans whether for circumnavigation, charter, living aboard or just some well-deserved limin’.
