Gunboat 72 Catamaran 2023 - The Fastest Catamaran In The World Now Has A Flybridge! (FANTASTIC!)

[@AngusFriday]

THANK YOU!! A great video showing the main features (no opening of every little hatch and cupboard...thank you) and allowing the audience to make up their own minds. Well done. I've subscribed.

[@AdeboFunkyVoodoo]

Finally, a Gunboat I could live with.

[@clarkharms]

But can you afford it?

[@demondchild1]

Moving the forward window pilons into a curve with glass is inspired. Such a cool ship

[@hansbaker4599]

THANK YOU ! FINALLY SOME ONE WHO IS NOT YELLING IN THE VIDEO THE WHOLE TIME! JUST SHOWING THIER FACE THE WHOLE VIDEO!! SO SICK OF ME ! ME ! VIDEOS! THANKS

[@chikken_soup]

Only the French would ruin a Gunboat by putting a flybridge on it

[@jamespatterson4141]

Steps up to it are the same as the lagoons, I’ve made a handrail for one that I copied of a lagoon to stop the important people falling of

[@Hajbibi]

A thing of beauty

[@pioneer_1148]

This will be a fast cat, but it definitely isn't the fastest unless comparing strictly against other fly bridge cats (in which case the HH88 will likely still beat it). The flybridge adds a lot of weight and has forced the sail area higher up in the ship. This means the centre of effort of the sails is higher and therefore the cat is less stable, that means it has to reef sooner and is therefore slower. In the same size range the Chris White A72 and A70 will definitely be faster and I'd be willing to bet that the ORC 57 and perhaps even some of the bigger Loopings will be faster.

[@dancarter482]

_Allegra_ could give it a run for the money - not sure about _Sunshine._

[@WallaceLau]

Well said. I will also miss the center cockpit. This feels like a Caribbean cat that will motor from beach to beach, more than crossing the Atlantic regularly just for fun. (Not that it's not able to though.)

[@BillyReed68]

The HH8801 is an enclosed fly bridge as well. I watched the sea trials and the builder says 21 maybe 22 knots in 30 knots true. Gunboat always point up wind better due to their dagger boards. HH uses a hydraulic folding centerboard I believe. I've seen the GP68 do 28 knots in 34 true, and we were holding her back the entire time. Neither Hudson, or McConaghy can say that. Can't wait to hear the first time the new GP80 tops 30 knots surfing a swell.

[@misterad4782]

A72 for me.

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Would love to see it under sail.....😊

[@geoffstrebel2808]

@4:57 Sails dump seems to be the most genius idea ever. Any way to automate that if the boat lists more than 40 degrees?

[@abizahidah28]

Perfect

[@CatamaranChannel]

Agree 100%

[@altoids784]

Hello. There is a red kill switch there inside helm station writes "sails dump". What is that for? Release Halyard or sheet or what? Serious question. Thanks

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

Putting a flybridge on a Gunboat is like permanently attaching a travel trailer to a Ferrari.

[@CatamaranChannel]

No! Its more like a Ferrari SUV!

[@Mgtowfreedom]

I’ll take it 😂❤

[@geoffstrebel2808]

Has anyone shot a video of this boat "putting the peddle down" yet?

[@TexasReal1960]

So 2.4 million would make my life mean a considerate more

[@TexasReal1960]

I have no friends left to show it to they all went home

[@Hotzenplotz1]

Do you know what a walk-through without any comment is worth or interesting to watch? No comment...

[@shinnyspace]

wow

[@dustincole6587]

Depending on the wind.

[@FarInfraredWellness]

It has no GUN on it, come on man!

[@jlamm2223443]

Boy, it sure loses a lot of it's luxury once you look at the bedrooms!

[@dunk856]

A masterpiece thanks for showing us around it, shame about the sound.

[@MrCubflyer]

How fast is it because the Cats in the Americas cup went around 50 knots or so.

[@ແມ໋ດຢູ່ລາວ]

Beautiful finishes and furniture. Some design elements are great, but this has be my least favourite gunboat. The fly bridge is a miss, as are the cabin and salon layouts. Gunboat 66 and 68 are better designs in my humble opinion.

[@duckhorn]

can it go north atlantic ?

[@bertmacdonald337]

ORC 57 has entered the chat.

[@bertmacdonald337]

Flybridge on a Gunboat, about as much use as tits on a bulldog, ashtray on a motorbike or a chocolate fireguard.

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

@@bertmacdonald337 I'm sure they'll build you one without the flybridge, me too, for that matter.

[@TexasReal1960]

I would Love to win the lottery

[@Frog13799]

Eh eh the frogs went lagoon on a gunboat, no thanks

[@adrianrubi5012]

Flybridge made it perfect.

[@TinDoors]

😭😢 I Want it..

[@edensmith3747]

why are there so many bathrooms

[@dp5475]

How much are we up to $10M? $15M?

[@jutelify]

Think the catalogue said something about 9-10M€ with equipped

[@Outland9000]

Mono or Cat? That is the question.

[@CatamaranChannel]

You can't compare the 2, they both have their own fan base. I would say Cat, more space, more stable, more safe, more speed, holds more value, but lets not forget you pay more for it. So its not for everyone.

[@Outland9000]

@@CatamaranChannel The impossible question.

[@EdwinLap]

How much is this Cat? 5 million?

[@alee5240]

I call such interiors "quick assembly". Dangers at every step

[@asinterestingaspossible7836]

if you worked all your life and you don’t have such a yacht, it means that you just worked all your life.(((

[@davidkennedy7549]

Cool, but not the fastest Cat in the world.

[@BillyReed68]

@2:30 Now the boat must be run from there. I don't like it. Not one bit actually. Defeats the entire purpose of the original design.

[@zaharizahariev]

That’s one heavy baby cats are extremely sensitive to every kilo luxurious it is fast it is not.

[@vorjay]

can someone translate this to English.

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

@@vorjay no.

[@vorjay]

@@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus it was sarcasm anyway.

[@pw5404]

Few milion EUR and there is not even a single place to lie down and sunbathe

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

Aside from the swim platform, the flybridge, and the entire boat forward of the mast, there's not a single place where one could lie in the sun, how ridiculous.

[@dharwood2727]

Totally exposed helm! Not good!!!

[@TB12710]

Imo a gunboat catamaran with a flybridge isn’t a nice catamaran, it’s just a big whale.

[@222INFINITY]

Fastest sailing catamaran, not catamaran.

[@johne9562]

well, duhhh

[@lajosfidy3785]

Shame. To throw all that heritage and philosophy out the window for some wealthy individual who should have bought a Lagoon or Sunreef. It's for the people who want a SUV-Coupe-Cabriloet with 700 hp and think it will be a sportscar

[@dancarter482]

Ultimate _Marina queen_ - one of the landmark gin palaces in Monaco harbor during the Grand Prix no doubt.

[@trthib]

People used to day the same thing about the Porsche Cayenne. it not only allowed Porsche to keep selling 911s but actually for the brand to stay in business. Ayatollahs will always complain about anything that isn't "extreme enough" or "not pure enough", we all know where that kind of thinking leads....

[@jonreedy467]

Never driven RS6 or E63 wagon it would appear.

[@fantabuloussnuffaluffagus]

Ferrari Purosangue anyone?

[@chriskelly6559]

This boat is like someone with a 45' motor home saying they're going camping. It's a rich person toy, will hardly ever sail. What a waste.

[@maxifenix9979]

🤮

[@David-eb9lk]

This is BS. There is not a faster cat than a Spronk. Been there done that. If you like a floating condo this is for you....if you are a true sailor there is only one choice, Spronk.

[@vorjay]

you don't know what you're talking about.
