Editorial
In search of… happiness?
The greatest philosophers have studied the notion of happiness. And many of them consider that this was more of a perpetual search than a real accessible state. From there, to conclude that happiness is a dream, there is only one step that... readers of Multihulls World don’t seem ready to take.

Just read the Postcards section and other cruising stories in the magazine to realize that sailing, especially far away and long-term, offers a feeling of enjoyment, pleasure, serenity, delight, not to mention happiness, and that it lasts as long as the trip...

So what can we say about the recent multihull show where visitors, buyers, sailors or salesmen all had radiant faces that said a lot about their satisfaction. Or the smile on the face of our Philippe, journalist/multihull tester for over 20 years, when he returns from an enchanting sail, with so many stories, full of memories and stars in his eyes?

Well? Is a multihull the best way to reach nirvana?

So is it was time for you to head off for a few years around the world to prove it to us...

Off you go!
