Full ahead...

Our little community of those circumnavigating on more than one hull has always had a special place in the world of cruising boaters. It is often (if not to say always) on our cats that friends gather for aperitifs at anchor, leaving the chronic discomfort of their monohulls for the grandiose space and the conviviality of our multihulls... Often the first to arrive at the stopover, cat skippers are the ones who find the best spot to drop anchor and leave the others looking for where they are going to put themselves. And as luck would have it, it is often aboard our favorite boats that we find all the necessary gear to go lobster hunting, on board the most comfortable dinghy... We understand better why, overtime, the family of multihullers has grown exponentially.

But if we are more and more numerous in anchorages around the world, sometimes even being in the majority, we have not forgotten what gives us our strength: an incredible desire, and need, to discover; and a passion for each other and for meeting new people.

Philanthropist lovers of cruising? For sure! The biggest proof of this is the vast majority of readers who - after having cancelled their subscription to the magazine because they’re setting off on their nautical wanderings - become the best ambassadors for their magazine and our most active correspondents in the most beautiful anchorages of the world.

Who’s turn is it next?

Fair winds,
