Wow, this is great. The largest sailing catamaran in the world was just launched and is conducting sea trials near the factory where it was built. Pendennis of the U.K. is the builder and the design is by Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost (VPLP), the designers of Lagoon catamarans. She is 145' long (44.2 meters) and the buyer is supposed to take delivery at the end of this month. Since all new custom-built yachts have "bugs" to be worked out, this yacht is going through a shake-down period.
Named HEMISPHERE, she only draws 10' she can pull into many bays close to shore. With a beam of 54' she never rocks at anchor and sails flat most of the time. All dinghies and toys are stowed "out of sight" below decks. Her large flying bridge area has lots of seating, a hot tub, the best views and makes a great party platform. The stern area doubles as a watersports activity center and the crew will set you up will all sorts of fun toys. The yacht will be at the Monaco Yacht Show in September and will then start her new career as a charter yacht. Available for Euros 175,000/week she'll spend this winter in the Caribbean and cruise to the South Pacific for the following summer.
