The shipyard with halls in Fiumicino near Rome has published the first details of the 24 metre long sailing catamaran C-Cat 80. The concept is currently in the final development phase and was developed at the request of an owner. The shipyard designed the C-Cat 80 for customers who are looking for both the fun of fast sailing and comfort on the water. The in-house design allows owners to actively shape the interior and deck layout. Flavia Proietti is responsible for the interior design together with Studio Amadio & Partners, while the lines and exterior design were created in co-operation with the French designers from Yacht Design Collective.

Second maxi model after the Comet 100 RS

The C-Cat 80 is the second maxi model from Comar Yachts after the 31 metre long monohull Comet 100 RS Shadow, which was launched in 2011. The carbon fibre mast of the twin hull is designed to carry 340 square metres of sailcloth with genoa and mainsail downwind, while a 355-square-metre gennaker completes the wardrobe on rough courses. Depending on the configuration, the C-Cat 80 can be equipped with four or five cabins and a crew cabin. One of the central features on board is a spacious open-plan main saloon with dining area. A large bathing platform offers space for a dinghy or jet skis. The cat concept features wraparound exterior decks that provide seamless access to the forward and aft deck areas. Two steps at the stern provide guests with direct access to the sea.

Drive and speed of the C-Cat 80

In terms of propulsion, the C-Cat 80 is equipped with two 110-kilowatt engines. According to the initial specification, the catamaran should reach a cruising speed of ten knots and a maximum speed of twelve knots under power. The polar diagrams show the theoretical speed under sail: Top speeds of over 15 knots should therefore be possible. The design and layout of the maxi model is based on a combination of performance and comfort.

Editor in Chief YACHT

Martin Hager is editor-in-chief of the titles YACHT and BOOTE EXCLUSIV and has been working for Delius Klasing Verlag for 20 years. He was born in Heidelberg in 1978 and started sailing at the age of six, in an Opti of course. This was soon followed by 420s, Sprinta Sport and 470s, which he also sailed on the regatta course with his brother. His parents regularly took him on charter trips through the Greek and Balearic Islands. Even at a young age, it was clear to him that he wanted to turn his passion for water sports into a career. After graduating from high school and completing an internship at the Rathje boatbuilding company in Kiel, it was clear that he did not want to become a classic boatbuilder. Instead, he successfully studied shipbuilding and marine engineering in the Schleswig-Holstein state capital and focused on yacht design wherever he could. His diploma thesis dealt with the “Testing of a new speed prediction method for sailing yachts”. In 2004, the superyacht magazine BOOTE EXCLUSIV was looking for an editor with technical and nautical background knowledge, a position that was perfect for Martin Hager. The application was successful and a two-year traineeship was arranged. After twelve years as an editor, the editorial team changed and he took over responsibility for BOOTE EXCLUSIV as editor-in-chief in 2017. After long-time YACHT editor-in-chief Jochen Rieker moved to the role of publisher, Martin Hager also took over the position of editor-in-chief of Europe's largest sailing magazine YACHT, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year, at the beginning of 2023. When he's not working on topics for the two water sports titles, Martin Hager likes to go out on the water himself - preferably with kite and wingfoil equipment or on a little after-work trip across the Alster.
