Catamaran AZULI 40

The Azuli, designed by Erik Lerouge and built by the Soubise shipyard, is an iconic catamaran that has made its mark in the world of multihull sailing. It is often considered a pioneer in its field, incorporating many innovations for its time, such as a draft with fixed fins and a height of its nacelle allowing for less shock.

The pleasure of multihulls at an unbeatable price.

The strengths of the Azuli are numerous:

• Exceptional performance : Thanks to its carefully designed geometry, low center of gravity, and narrow hulls, the Azuli offers remarkable performance at all speeds. It is renowned for its speed, stability, and smooth passage through the water.
• Comfort and safety : Although the interior volumes are smaller than on more recent models, the Azuli offers a balanced compromise between performance and comfort. The solid and lightweight construction, as well as the reliable pivoting wing mast, contribute to a safe and enjoyable sailing experience.
• Value for money : Compared to similar models of the time, the Azuli was offered at a more affordable price while providing high nautical qualities.
• Design and ergonomics : The design of the Azuli is both elegant and functional. The spaces on board are well organized, and the ergonomics are well thought out, making life on board easier.

• Interior volumes . As mentioned earlier, the interior volumes of the Azuli are more limited than those of modern catamarans. This can be a limiting factor for large families or for those looking for a large living space on board.
• This model is always perfectly maintained and regularly upgraded.
• In summary, the Azuli is a catamaran that will appeal to sailors looking for performance and a seaworthy boat, while being ready to make some compromises in terms of interior space. It is an interesting choice for those who want to discover the joys of multihull sailing without breaking the bank.
