With its carbon mast towering over all the yachts at the Cannes Yachting Festival, more than 100 feet above the sea, the Gunboat 72 was the talk of the town when it was officially presented for the first time back in September.

In truth, a Gunboat is a true semi-custom cruiser-racer catamaran, in the elitist sense of the term. Since its takeover by the Grand Large Yachting Group and its installation at their shipyard, no less than seven Gunboat 68s have left the hangars, with an 80 was launched at the beginning of the year, followed by the 72 we’re interested in. As for the forthcoming 70, whose development is almost complete (see our Buyer’s Guide in this issue), we shouldn’t have to wait very long before we hear more about it... in the meantime, the previous Gunboats are far from fading into anonymity: on the contrary, they are regularly on the podium of major regattas. A strong signal that shows the extent of racing sailors’ interest in multihulls: the...
