[@markthomasson5077]

I have a 8.5m pod cat. As he says many advantages. The pod is so much more quiet, no wave slapping at anchor and a good nights sleep. You feel very safe, no need for guard rails. The beauty of a performance cat, is that cruising you are rarely above half throttle, so to speak. So lots in hand giving a safety measure if the wind pipes up. The downside is that you will probably have a rig that is not easy / quick to reef. And remember that has to be able to be done by the weakest crew member

[@Thepintaproject]

The podcat design is a cool concept with some unique features and downsides. What kind of model is yours? Having a big powerful boat like this requires sailing conservatively but it can still cause some hairy moments when you are caught offguard as Mike mentioned

[@catamaransailing]

Yes, pod cats don't seem to be for everyone. I think the idea seems too weird for most people but in reality if they stepped aboard one they'd realise they work very well. Komotion is surprisingly easy to reef actually. The Antal batt car system works very well, we can pull a slab down even when sailing off the wind, or to make things easier we come up a bit and oversheet the jib so it back winds the main. The halyard is whipped to mark the reef positions and I have sparcraft shackles on strops at the mast to clip onto the reef tack points. The reef clew lines are led aft. It's quick and fairly easy but the weakest crew member is only 5 so that's a tall order for her!

[@rickemmet1104]

So, Mike is right on with his assessment of the design (as far as I can tell having never sailed the boat) and 240 nautical miles a day should be fairly easy. The younger the kids are, of course, the more important it is to keep things mellow. 240 nautical miles, per 24 hours, is sailing an average speed of 8 knots at night and 12 knots during daylight hours. Even in light trade winds, they should be able to do this with ease - they don't even need the additional headsails to make those miles. Paul Bieker designed 53 footer named Fujin which has a similar design philosophy. Komotion looks like a real winner!

[@catamaransailing]

Fujin is a super cool boat, though I think she was commissioned more to race than cruise. I heard there is a Fujin 2.0 on the cards, looking forward to seeing that!

[@rickemmet1104]

I love it! I have owned and extensively cruised 4 different cruising boats. And as a US Sailing cruising instructor, have sailed hundreds of different boats. ALL boats are a set of compromises. This looks like a good set to me! Love the light ends, the long thin hulls, the pod, great engine access. Yanmar and Spade, two good equipment choices. I think that you will have a blast.

[@catamaransailing]

Thanks, yeah we’re pretty happy with our choice. It’s been two years and there are no regrets yet! One of the pros of the boat was the quality of equipment fitted and ease of access to it. It helps make maintenance a little easier.

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Fujin ...is a semi flying cat .. and built as a racer and after a flip over rebuilt as a cruiser. This is definately a sports cat ..and is very like the pioneering french Edel cats... But much larger and more powerful. I would look to add a streamlined helm station/s cover/s to shelter from the elements sun and Storms. The French use cork as hull insulation ..it works both ways its very safe being organic rot proof and very light its great under foot its also fire ressistant and doesnt give off toxic gas or smoke.

[@billfromgermany]

Nice to hear such an experienced sailor make the point the “every boat is a compromise”.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

It’s all about finding a boat with the compromises that work for your sailing. Interviewing loads of different owners and their boats it’s nice to see that everyone has found the right boat for them. Combining price, sailing capabilities, size, cost to run etc. There is a boat for everyone, just have to have your priorities straight.

[@billfromgermany]

I’ve been sailing over 70 years (frightening statistic when I see it in writing!) but in my experience it is rare for people to analyse what sort of sailing they are going to do, and then to base their boat choice on that analysis. I have good friends that are looking for boat number 4, and they still haven’t learnt this lesson! They asked for my advice on boat number 3, ignored it, with the expected consequences. Having seen their list of requirements for this boat (so they have learnt something?) I shan’t be offering further advice. The list is full of conflicting requirements. The boat must be fast and require minimum maintenance - “we want to sail, not work on the boat”. It must also have deep freeze, water maker, washing machine, diesel generator, be approx 14 meters LOA and be easily handled by two. 😱 Oh, and affordable.

[@catamaransailing]

Being honest about the mission is so important. @@billfromgermany There are many things I'd like to add to this boat (and some taken away!) but really it has very little we don't need and pretty much everything we do. And the rest we just deal with. eg. better foulies vs a more protected helm position! I grew up sailing boats that were pretty basic and quite unergonomic so it is easier for me to just accept a boat as it is and get on with sailing it!

Anderson winches, what a find.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

I’ve come to find that almost all serious sailors and boats use Anderson winches. They are a great design and seem to have a long lifetime!

[@catamaransailing]

Yep, we love our Andersens for their robust design and build, however there are two things I don't like about them: firstly, the plastic trim ring above the upper self tailing jaw is not suitably UV proof and they have all cracked. Replacement are very expensive: Eur75 for a bit of plastic! (I might fabricate some carbon fibre ones for a bit of bling factor!) And then the much lauded "power rib" drum. Yes, they grip lines very well, but they do make it difficult to ease a line smoothly. The lines jump when eased. But they should last forever!

Tnx. Fantastic boat, would love one, But "family cruiser" it isn't by any measure.

[@catamaransailing]

Thanks! But I think a boat becomes what it is used for. Like the boats doing the Golden Globe Race. They're traditional, heavy cruising boats racing around the world, so they are performing the role of round the world race boats. My family is cruising on this cat, so it's a family cruiser. Setting the mission is important, as is realising the limits of the boat and operating within those limits.

[@observer2172]

Enjoy the lovely boat/experience ! (After many years on legal work I've become somewhat exacting - one person's use/interpretation doesn't change the accepted use/meaning. E.g. if a pensioners' club takes kickboxing 😲the latter won't become retirees' sport 😂).

[@robertbaird4822]

Already flipped,so great family boat,YEAH RITE

[@catamaransailing]

I'm not sure where you're getting your info but you obviously have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. This boat has never flipped. The port hull flooded after the daggerboard case inspection plate failed. The boat remained afloat with the pod and starboard hull completely dry while she was towed back to shore. Since then both hulls have been fitted with multiple watertight compartments in addition to the daggerboard case inspection covers being upgraded. But please, keep making assumptions based on false information. It's the path to happiness and success!

It’s great how do you lift it out? No travel lift can lift a yacht that wide unless you find a shipyard and no marina can take that width?

[@catamaransailing]

We hauled out a few months ago in Mallorca. Their travelift handled us easily, as did the one in Canet en Roussillon, France. Other options are Martinique, Trinidad, Australia... there are several places actually. As for marinas, we tend to avoid them but have spent a couple of days in Gibraltar and Las Palmas for surprisingly low cost and without any issues.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Interesting boat. 15 tons is very light for its plan area. Certainly don't agree with all of the design decisions, and think a more humane arrangement can be designed while retaining weight and performance. See for example Chris White's Atlantics. Very much agree with a performance boat to be able to sail more efficiently in light winds and not sailing anywhere near full power for cruising. Very sensible.

[@catamaransailing]

We find her pretty "humane" actually and are very comfortable living aboard, even with another family of four during our recent Atlantic crossing, but I agree that a CW Atlantic 55/57 is a fantastic cruising machine. Unfortunately they're also out of my budget. You can't have it all!

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@catamaransailing Thanks. My main point is that relatively low weight is something that can be designed while still having comfortable and practical living spaces. See also various Aussie cats.

[@fukkyoutube]

if the living pod isn't structural and is just more or less bolted on could they make the pod the life raft like make a cutaway system and make it float so if something happens it can be cut from the rest of the rig

[@catamaransailing]

Wow now that’s an interesting idea! Never thought of that. It would need some major modifications to work on our boat but could be something designed in on a new build.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Just get some explosive bolts Mike 😅although on a cat it should keep on floating anyway, inverted or right side up with all the watertight compartments, cored hulls and the low weight.

[@geoffrigg9359]

what brand of cat is it ?

[@Boatlifeisbest]

It’s a Velum 72. Custom built

[@catamaransailing]

She's ended up being a one off, but the original designer (Eric Jean) did have the idea of a small semi-production run as the "Velum 72". Eric Lerouge was also involved in the design of her beams.

[@matthewkabbash]

Nice unimatic mike.

[@catamaransailing]

Thanks, though it's actually a Chinese Steeldive cheapy. But I love the design so much! It's based on the original Blancpain 50 Fathoms. Good eyes!

[@matthewkabbash]

@@catamaransailing yes the simple design. It's clean. Thanks for the compliment. I am glad you knew what I was referring to.

[@earthstick]

It's a really interesting design, but I keep thinking there is little difference between this and a trimaran regarding living space. So what are the other differences?

[@catamaransailing]

That's a great question. I love trimarans, and was really considering a number of tris before finding this boat. But there is actually a LOT more space on Komotion than on a comparable performance tri. The amas of even a 70 foot tri have very little room in them (they need to be kept narrow and light) whereas our hulls are wide enough for a comfortable double bunk. A performance tri's main hull, even with a big flare at the waterline, would be considerably narrower than our pod which is almost 4.5m wide. I'm sure you could build a very cool trimaran with similar characteristics but there certainly wasn't one for sale within our budget when I was looking. The Hughes 63s "Atlantis" and "Rosinante" look like very cool boats. It would be interesting to see how they compare in space, comfort and speed.

[@earthstick]

@@catamaransailing Thanks for the reply. I guess I was thinking that for a similar length tri, it would have acoomodation in the armas. This pod design is a real alternative.

[@catamaransailing]

You can certainly put accomodation in the amas@@earthstick The Neel trimarans do I think. But I'm not sure I would put them in the same performance league. Maybe I'm wrong, I just don't know enough about them. If you were building from scratch you could do something pretty special, but it's interesting to note that neither Rosinante or Atlantic have anything in the amas other than a bit of storage for light gear.

[@earthstick]

@@catamaransailing The Neel isn't in the same league as your cat, a Dragon Fly or Rapido is a better comparison. The armas on the Dragon Fly are not accomodation but then they don't make on a similar size. I think your cat is very appealing. But I'm just dreaming, I mean how could I single hand anything that size?

[@catamaransailing]

@@earthstick well they're sailing foiling 130' tris solo round the world now, so I guess anything is possible! When it's just my family aboard I do tend to do a lot of the sailing by myself. Like on any boat, the key is planning it all out beforehand and taking it one thing at a time.

[@TheSting772]

Looks pricey!

[@Boatlifeisbest]

The boat was for sale at 490k asking. Off course it is going to be a lot of money but way more affordable than a outremer 55 or gunboat or similar performing boat. On a big boat everything does become more expensive to replace and maintain but Komotion is setup in a pretty simple way with not too many systems.

[@TheSting772]

So I’m guessing that’s American dollars too, wow that’s a house, I’d imagine I’d need aircon and a home office for that price 😂

[@TheSting772]

Or need to be retired!

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Or just actually use it as your house like they are doing 😅 they don’t own another property or anything so for some people it makes sense.

[@catamaransailing]

I continue to work while cruising. The boat is not cheap, but compared to other performance cruising cats I think she represents good value, especially when you consider the build quality and level of detail in her finish. IMO a well built second hand custom built boat represents so much more value than a second hand production boat because production builders just can’t put that many hours into a boat.

[@TC-yx1qt]

No motors right? 100% sail?

[@Boatlifeisbest]

She does have an engine in each hull behind a watertight bulkhead. One can be seen at 14:01

[@deerfootnz]

This isnt a big boat, its a long boat. Mono or multihull a long waterline is unbeatable. My own monohull is a 60ft boat with a 60ft waterline and a lightship displacement of 15 tons. We average 200 miles per day. Length and size are - often wrongly- conflated. Why do so few understand the importance of waterline length? I hate short fat heavy boats with a fierce passion.

[@Boatlifeisbest]

Definitely agree with you, it is a huge platform but kept light and simple. As Mike says, a 40ft modern cruising catamaran has more space and technical systems but no where close on the performance. Waterline length is hard to beat, only problem is if you want to go into marinas, then the costs can be prohibitive. But as a full time liveaboard in the right areas marinas can be almost always avoided. What kind of boat are you sailing yourself?

[@catamaransailing]

Exactly. Berthing was probably the single biggest item on the "against" side of our pre-purchase evaluation, but it is less of an issue if you have no interest in marinas. Hauling out is of course more difficult too, but can be managed with good planning. But a huge plus is the easy speed and more comfortable motion at sea. Cats will never have the motion of a nice mono but having long, slim hulls makes it SO much better than your typical condomaran.

[@TC-yx1qt]

@@catamaransailing I'm guessing it's a lot harder to get into a lot of smaller anchorages with such a large boat? Or do you not care about that sort of thing?

[@catamaransailing]

It certainly can be a challenge@@TC-yx1qt but we tend to prefer less crowded anchorages anyway. We have got into some pretty tight spots with stern lines tied ashore though.

[@mikemendes7598]

It was kind of sad to me that this magnificent sailing machine will be throttled down with these owners. Kind of like buying an old F1 car to go the grocery store in. This should have a crew of sailors racing the crap out of her. Mike correctly points out he could have far more accommodation in a 40' Lagoon. Surely there was something in between? A Chris White design perhaps? Not SO much boat to handle, and a lot more comfort.

[@catamaransailing]

Thanks for your comment. We regularly sail Komotion into the high teens/low 20’s so I really don’t think we’re keeping her *that* throttled down, and it’s quite normal to sail a bit more conservatively when cruising, especially at night. She was never built as a racing boat, though I do hope to race her in the future. I agree a CW Atlantic 55/57 would have been a great boat for us. Unfortunately we didn’t have the budget for one! Also, we find Komotion has more than enough space and comfort for us. Fair winds.
