World's First Multi Show

Mark your busy calendar: We are pleased to announce the first edition of the "Multihull Boat Show" which will be held in Lorient, France - April 15-18 2010. As if we did not have enough boat shows - this one will be different. More than just an exhibition, it will be a dynamic and animated event, which will liven up the seafront and unite thousands of industry proffessionals, sailors and visitors. Over four days guests will be able to take part in demo sails and sea trials aboard the world's most prominent cats and tris. You will also have the opportunity to admire former racing multihulls and the ominous German submarine bunkers from the second World War.

Superyacht Elite

Gregor Tarjan, president of Aeroyacht was honored to be invited as one of the few delegates attending this weeks Superyacht Design Symposium in New York. About 150 Superyacht owners and elite industry leaders exchanged their concerns and views. One of the main topics centered around what type of new yacht an owner would buy. Not surprisingly all indicators pointed to multihulls. Marc Van Petteghem introduced his new schooner rigged catamaran while a representative of Abeking and Rasmussen promoted a twin hulled SWATH yacht. The symposium proved it first hand- Gregor Tarjan's Aeroyacht 110 catamaran seems to be answering all the needs of superyacht owners: More "green", more space, more speed while providing the need for less crew and less expenses.
At the symposium we also learned that Aeroyacht has been accepted as a nominee for the Best Newcomer of the World Superyacht Award 2010 in addition to the best sailing yacht award.

New Mecca of Multis ?

With next America's Cup being held in the city of Ras al Khaima (UAE) and the recently launched Oman Arabian 100 tri - the Middle East is quickly becoming the center of large multis. Open minded, devoid of conservative pre-conceptions and abundant new marina space make UAE and Oman sailors the future players in the world of large luxury catamarans.
After four months of assembly in Oman's southern most port of Salalah, skipper Paul Standbridge has been stretching the legs of Oman Sail's new Arabian 100 (A100) trimaran during sea-trials off the Omani coast. Now named Majan, after the ancient name for Oman, Oman Sail's new flagship is now operational and is heading into the Gulf and a tour of neighbouring countries.The launch of Majan is an ambitious addition to the project's mission to inspire a new generation of young Omanis.

Fountaine Pajot Owner's Meeting

Imagine sailing on a Fountaine Pajot cruising cat in paradise - surrounded by not only turquoise waters and sandy beaches, but like minded sailors on other FP cats. Welcome to the 2010 Fountaine Pajot Owner's annual rendezvous in the BVI's held in the last week of April 2010. Discover wonderful islands, make new friends and test your regatta skills.
Even if you do not have a catamaran, Aeroyacht will coordinate and provide you with bareboat charter contacts. We will be sending you a full agenda in the coming months - or simply contact us.

Wally WHY - Outside the Box

Again legendary Wally Yachts have impressed with a leading edge design by launching the "WHY" project. "WHY" is (it) not a catamaran ? - rather it stands for the partnership between Hermès Yachts and Wally. This new joint venture has conceptualized a motor yacht that redefines the art of living on the sea in green style. In an attempt to move beyond the horizon of current trend, WHY has shaped up a boat that is contained in a triangular hull measuring 170' x 118'.

They get our vote ! - just wished it was a cat.
