The choice of a rig with self-tacking jib
In order to ensure maximum safety and easy handing, the mast was pulled back on the centreline of the boat in order to balance the weights and limit tensions on the mainsail. The headsails are larger and offer new possibilities, especialy the use of a self-steering jib, as large as a genoa.
The NEW presents 124 m2 of sail area close hauled, with 76 m2 of mainsail and 48 m2 of jib, a combination that makes it easy to control in any situation, even while short handed. In addition, the tilted boom well appreciated on the NEW monohulls, facilitates lowering and secures the crew on the fly bridge. The outside rope is optional, to support a code 0 or a gannaker.
Egineering research and construction
The NEW Catamarans project has benefited from high-technology search and resources, notably the CFD analysis, which revealed great hydrodynamic qualities. The entire structure has been analysed and validated by the finite element method (FEM) in every detail.
Balance between inside and outside space
The NEW Catamarans presents a perfect balance with the deck plan, the cockpit space, roof and foredeck divided into 1/3 of the total length. The large proportion of the roof differs from the models of the category and offer the thought of a very wide space of the living room area. Indeed, it is a testimony of a balanced project in terms of exterior and interior space, developed to offer the greatest comfort in all seasons. At the front, there are two outstanding sunbathing areas, separated by a large storage box and the anchor well. The sidedecks are spacious, and secured by hull bulwarks along the entire length. At the cockpit level, there are two steps, one on the port side and one on the starboard side, offering the access to the flybridge
The flybridge by NEW
The NEW Catamarans flybridge is a key element of this project. Elaborated as a second cockpit, it expands considerably the living space outside. Traffic is ideal with an access from two stairs – through the cockpit from starboard, and the sidedecks from port. He is equipted with a low table and surrounded by large seats and a wide sunbathing area. It also features the helm station…
A “Super Yachts” helm station
Located on the fly bridge, the helm station offers an absolute advantage in terms of visibility. The large console inspired by the superyachts, integrates all the equipment in a very ergonomic layout. The three mainsail winches, jib and gennaker are easy to reach. The helmsman also benefits from an adjustable seat and a bimini, available in both canvas or rigid.
