LA GRANDE MOTTE (Languedoc-Roussillon REgion ) WILL HOST THE 2011 EDITION OF THE MULTIHULL BOATSHOW
The next edition of the Multihull Boatshow will take place in La Grande Motte in the South of France, close to Montpellier. This is the press release I wrote for the organisation. After the September Yacht Shows, we will announce a news which will please luxury catamaran fan so stay tuned.
It is now official, the Mediterranean version of this great cruising multihull reunion will take place in La Grande Motte between the 14th and the 17th April 2011.
The boatshow organizers, Frédéric Morvant and Philippe Michel comment:
“We are delighted with the venue of La Grande Motte for this, the first Mediterranean edition in 2011. We had very strict guidelines and three towns offered to host the show. La Grande Motte met the most criteria. In fact, not only is it close to Montpellier International Airport and TGV station, but also the road and motorway networks are the most practical - There is a superb yacht harbour with numerous and luxurious hotels. Institutional bodies willing to promote nautical events and highly motivated and dynamic local teams have made La Grande Motte the preferred choice. The Atlantic version of the multihull show in Lorient was very successful and we wish to maintain this momentum. The scheme is the same, we will regroup all sectors of the multihull industry around a great international event, which is welcoming and inviting. However, we will offer visitors new animations and a larger diversity of exhibitors, the list of which we will publish during the coming weeks.”
Most exhibitors and stakeholders represented in Lorient in 2010 have already signed up for La Grande Motte. May we remind you that the first Multihull Boatshow attracted 12,000 visitors from all over the world, more than 55 multihulls were afloat and there were over 120 exhibitors. This event is the only one of its kind in the world.
Les salons du multicoque
“Les salons du multicoque – Atlantic / Mediterranean”are an opportunity for all involved in multihulls to get together. Motor and sailing yachts; shipyards, charterers, shipchandlers, sailmakers, engine manufacturers, architects and stylists, insurance brokers and financing institutions... It is a unique occasion for amateurs and professionals, buyers and sellers from anywhere in the world to meet up. Alternating between an Atlantic and a Mediterranean venue enhances the international impact of this event.
La Grande Motte
Ideally situated at the heart of the Mediterranean coastline, La Grande Motte is a town suited to everyone's lifestyle interests: sailing, golf, thalassotherapy, casino, fine sandy beaches, exclusive gastronomy, all surrounded by stunning architecture and lush vegetation.

Sunreef Yachts is delighted to confirm that this year's edition of the Cannes International Boat Show held from 8 to 13 September 2010 will see the worldwide premiere of the Sunreef 102 Double Deck IPHARRA – the first double deck sailing catamaran in the world. She is also the second biggest sloop rigged catamaran of the world.
The double deck concept was created especially for clients wanting to achieve extreme comfort with maximum space on deck. The characteristic feature of each Sunreef double decker is the additional, full-beam cabin in the front, with the panoramic view to the sea obtained thanks to the mast fitted on the enlarged flybridge.
Commissioned in 2008 and launched in April 2010 IPHARRA, is a luxury a charter superyacht available for charters in the Caribbean this winter. For this purposes, the yacht will accommodate up to 12 guests and 4/5 crew.
According to the Sunreef philosophy, the interior design and layout arrangement have been totally submitted to the owner's suggestions who wished to obtain a practical vessel with many storage places ensuring the highest level of navigation autonomy. The huge outdoor space represents an important area of the yacht. Passengers have a choice of staying in the shade of the 50m2 cockpit or can enjoy sunbathing on the 50m² flybridge and bow nets. In the cockpit, there is a long sofa and table to ensure comfortable alfresco dining and relaxing moments for 10-12 guests. In the evening, a “starry sky” effect will be ensured thanks to the colourful yet discrete LED lights in the ceiling. The fly is supplied with a fully equipped bar and dining area for twelve people along with deck chairs to relax while sunbathing.
70 SUNREEF POWER DAMRAK
DAMRAK was introduced to the world during last year's edition of the show as an example of the 70 Sunreef Power. Launched in 2008, the 70 Sunreef Power is the first motor yacht from the Sunreef power range. The yacht's elegant topside, extended interior and exterior space along with its stability, safety, long cruising range with low fuel consumption maintained makes it an ideal vessel for charters, luxury private holidays or long-term travels around the world. With its totally customized design and finish according to the Client's wishes, this yacht model can be made in Exclusive version featuring a Jacuzzi and second navigation station on the fly, powerful engines, rich and modern interior design, state-of-the-art electronics on board and many other fancy gadgets. For Clients wanting to perform long travels aboard their yachts and discover the world's most remote and wild places, the 70 Sunreef Power can be converted into an Expedition yacht with underwater bulbs, green features such as solar panels or wind generators, without losing anything of its luxurious and customized finish. Until now, Sunreef Yachts has built 3 units in Exclusive version and 2 hulls in Expedition version.
Visits of both yachts upon previous reservation only! Cannes, Vieux Port, Jetee Pantiero, MTC 107 bis– Sunreef last year position.
NEW YACHT MODELS FOR 2011
Sunreef 80 Ultimate – new range of sporty and high-performance cats
In 2010 Sunreef Yachts has introduced a sophisticated design line of ultra-modern and high-performance sailing catamarans with green appliances a magnificent example of which is the Sunreef 80 ULTIMATE. The Sunreef 80 Ultimate carbon fibre yacht has thin and sleek marine hulls with reversed bow and integrated stepped hull chins which is essential for the yacht's high performance. The superstructure will be shorter and more minimalist than on a conventional leisure catamaran which will add to the boat's lightness and streamlined look. The flybridge is an option here as the height of the boat decides on the level of air resistance. Both hulls and entire forward section of the superstructure will be covered by glass panels which will make this vessel luminous and provide the guests with breathtaking and delightful views. An alternative option for the hull are solar panels providing the yacht with natural solar energy that can be connected to the water heating system. Two vertical retractable wind generators will be installed on each hull as well. The mast will be moved back to the middle of the boat which will contributes to achieving the most optimal balance, thus giving the ultimate navigation comfort. The sail plan is adequately calculated to reach the top speeds of 20 + knots. Internal space will depend on the Client's preferences, according to the “custom finish philosophy” at Sunreef. Two options are possible: leaving the saloon as an open, undivided space, or accommodating it with the galley, dinning and lounge. In both scenarios, the owner suite will be located on the main level in the forward section. It will have a stunning, uncovered view over the sea through the vast glass wall and sliding doors giving access to the private outdoor loggia with spa pool, bar and lounge. The guest cabins and crew quarters will be placed down the hulls. Launching scheduled: 2012
60 Sunreef Power – second power model to be built
The 60 Sunreef Power is the response to the demand for more compact, yet still highly impressive powerboats.

The Noah 76 was developed by VPLP, Van Peteghem Lauriot Prévost, whose naval architectural skills are recognized all over the world.
Uncontested leader in the design of racing and cruising multihulls, VPLP gave the Noah her stunning elegant lines.
The décor was created by the interior designer Anne Monique Bonadei from Milan. She was also responsible for the restoration of the “Orsay” Museum in Paris. She knows how to create a serene, pure and airy atmosphere on board.
From the exterior, the style is refined and the lines are elegant. Inside, the simple and natural decor creates a peaceful atmosphere. The attention given to finishes and the choice of materials enhance comfort and relaxation on board. Materials and colors are in perfect harmony.

comfortable and practical. It allows for closeness and intimacy.
It is also a very quiet motorboat, perfect for enjoying long peaceful cruises.Main deck
Real "loft" on the water, the spacious saloon, with its large sliding doors opens widely to the outside. The interior is light and airy; it is well ventilated thanks to the large opening windows.
A spacious and friendly galley looks onto the saloon and the outside. With the generous worktop and simple and uncluttered design, the galley is functional and very pleasant.
Outside, there are large living areas with deckchairs and a long table where 12 guests can enjoy a friendly meal.

The upper deck is reached from the saloon by a spiral staircase or by an outside staircase from the cockpit.
The upper deck comprises a well appointed wheelhouse and a spacious lounge with a sunbathing area to enjoy the sun and the evenings "al
