Hello Boater

YOT Power Catamarans 41

Catamaran Space Advantage

image_775

OPEN-DECK CAT Built by the Catana Group, known for performance sailing catamarans, the YOT 41 applies that multihull thinking to a power platform. Her wide beam carried forward opens the deck from bow lounge to cockpit terraces, while two staterooms with private companionways sit below. Twin Mercury outboards deliver up to 43.9 mph in testing, paired with the steady ride expected from a cat hull.

She planes in about 7 seconds and runs to 59.2 mph. 3x V10s are available with their own advantages. Formula is arguably the best-built brand in class.

NEW Wellcraft 243 Fisherman

Simple, Capable Layout

Wellcraft-243-Fisherman-2-3-26_1

FISHING WITH THE FAMILY At 24'4", the 243 Fisherman fits into the space where coastal runs and offshore trips overlap. Her 20° transom deadrise supports a softer ride than flatter designs, but is a typical compromise between speed and efficiency that we often see in her class. Maximized seating for a center console makes this Wellcraft a dual-purpose vessel.

The Man Who Chased Speed

And Still Wanted Quiet

image_742

THE ATLANTIC RECORD STILL STANDS The late Aga Khan held the Atlantic speed record in a 68-meter boat capable of nearly 70 knots in 2.5-meter seas. He also commissioned the largest molded composite piece ever built, borrowed COGAG propulsion from the navy, and had Pininfarina design the aerodynamics. Oh, and one of his yachts was named after a kidnapped horse.
