For Aktung's back.. Citroen Xantia 3 litre V6 vs. Porsche






We won an oldtimer rallye with a Citroen SM in 2017, against Porsche and a Ferrari. No one expects a Citroen..

Nice boat, but after a few years at dock side and week-ends at sea you will be sharing the berth with mildew.

Trimarans and catamarans have a huge problem Méo you have to stay on top of the situation at all times.
Someone on the helm that knows what they are doing and for heavens sake don't test the boats limits

but as long as it is a dream ... dream big for a Swan 115' top of the line sailboat with not only two helms, but two rudders also:

In the British navy that concept is....suspect!
 

A disgruntled Admiral indignantly told Churchill(First Lord of the Admiralty) he was scuttling the tradition of the Royal Navy. Gretton wrote that Churchill answered:
“Don’t talk to me about naval tradition. It’s nothing but rum, buggery and the lash.” Langworth says that Montague-Browne personally told him that he had asked Churchill about the quote.
According to Montague-Browne, Churchill responded: “I never said it. I wish I had.”

It seem to have a radio connected with the inside cockpit. I admit that it can be tricky at times but on the other hand you got a way better view.

This is for sure a magnificent ship!

But my father has a 45' schooner and I never really enjoyed any ride on it. The lean on monohulls can be so intense at times (as shown at 0:30 of your video link) that, on long rides, everything becomes so annoying... you can hardly sleep, barely eat, etc.

The best thing you can do is to sit on borders like at 1:29 of this video (but again imagine doing this for a long time...)


Neel trimarans are supposed to be very stable, plus trimarans are the fastest sailing ship class.
