|On Board| technology. |On Board| technology. “The catamaran has a very high propulsive efficiency and a significant increase in square metres to place solar panels, so the advantages were many, and fit perfectly with the new green technology,” Rossi says. After positive responses, Rossinavi revealed a fully electric concept, Sea Cat 40, and collaborated with esteemed architecture firm Zaha Hadid to design the 44m catamaran Oneiric. “It’s a synergistic work aimed at combining design, environment and technology,” says Rossi. This is the first time the market has seen such a high-profile studio collaborate on a multihull project, but Rossi says it won’t be the last. “There is a lot of enthusiasm on the part of the designers; it has opened up the possibility for them to do styling exercises with catamarans and reinterpret them in a modern way.” As well as becoming more design-forward, modern catamarans are increasing in length. Leading the charge in this arena is Perini Navi, which is currently working on the “largest sailing catamaran in the world” following increased demand from clients. The 47m Art Explorer, designed by Axel de Beaufort, is “characterised by maximum stylistic and technological evolution”, the Italian yard says. “This is something no one has ever done before until now. We are the only shipyard able to build such large catamarans in full aluminium [to a size] of 499GT.” The announcement can be seen as a sign of innovations to come at the yard, which was acquired by The Italian Sea Group in late 2021. Luxury hybrid yacht manufacturer Wider is also jumping on the bandwagon. After carving a niche in hybrid monohulls, the Italian yachtbuilder moved into catamarans, unveiling its first multihull WiderCat 92 in 2022. Penned by Luca Dini Design, the yacht features the company’s hybrid-electric technology and comes with a zero emission mode for silent, sustainable cruising. Speaking of the market’s increased interest in multihulls, Marcello Maggi, president of Wider, says, “We believe there are two main drives at play: one is the strong demand for catamarans due to their implicit increased living areas; the second is the exponential increase of attention to sustainability factors, as well as reduced consumption and less noise and vibration. “Moreover, from an engineering point of view, the greater width compared to a monohull allows the exploitation of a greater surface area intended for the use of solar panels, an additional source of energy for the Wider serial hybrid propulsion system.” Maggi also points to increased stability as a key benefit. “Multihulls do not need additional stabilisers – avoiding extra material aboard and everything that goes with it, from the construction process to the energy needed for navigation – as their structure already serves this purpose.” He foresees huge potential, particularly in creativity and design. “There is still a lot to discover in this particular segment.
