Performance catamarans are on the hot-list right now! They offer the right balance between comfortable cruising and speed, to keep even hard-core sailors happy. Seth from Youtube’s The Sailing Family, has done a deep dive into the top performance catamarans available right now. He covers both the technical and the practical side of things, comparing these elements with value for money.
Seth, Elizabeth and their 3 sons, Pierce, Hale and Reese, have been cruising on their performance catamaran, an Outremer named Archer since 2018. They were thwarted by Covid, spending part of lockdown in Fiji, New Zealand and now Australia. It’s been interesting following their journey, and their frustrations during these times.
Check out Seth’s top 10 here. The Balance 526 and the Kinetic KC54, which are proudly produced in Cape Town, are on his list too.
