This large Chinese-built catamaran kept us waiting a little at La Grande-Motte, as it didn’t get to its slip until the end of the third day of the International Multihull Show...
But that didn't stop us from discovering this ambitious multihull, which was launched as the Seaview 56 in 2021 and then lengthened to become the Seaview 59. Looking at the rig, you’re aware of the somewhat modest area of the sail plan is particularly noteworthy in relation to the displacement: the sail area to weight ratio is 5.14 m²/t, whereas a catamaran is considered to be high-performance when this figure exceeds 10. So, the aim here is to provide a fully-equipped living platform whose finishing standards are on a par with those of luxury living ashore. No less than 5 layouts are available, featuring 4 to 6 cabins.
